Next year is in Tampa. Book your hotel now and cancel if the Gophers don’t make it. Most hotels allow cancellations up to 24 hours in advance.
Another option that I’m probably going to roll with is Creative Charters. Their charter will be Thursday am and return Monday am. Don’t have the final cost yet but it’ll be around 1k per person. Hotel and flight included.
It says return Sunday AM. Will keep an eye out
Depart early April 7 - Return April 10
Roundtrip air, 3 nights hotel, airport/hotel transfers
Yeah they didn’t update it. I talked to them yesterday. Said they couldn’t get a good price on a Sunday return so are pivoting to early Monday.
Boston is not cheap, my friend.
Super expensive overall ?
Maybe they would add a flight if the Gophers make it
Cheapest combo I found was 4 people, leaving Thursday @ 5:30 am and coming back Monday @ 6am. Hotel and airfare I had around $750 a guy. Figure an easy $1,000 with tickets. $1500 weekend with everything else pretty easy.
Yes, whenever the FF is out east, it is very expensive. I will throw out some NON SNARKY SINCERE advice. The best thing my wife and I did almost 20 years ago was make a commitment to go to every Frozen Four. It cuts down the costs of it by at least 50%. It allows us to book hotels and flights way in advance and gives you flexibility on other stuff. There are also other "tricks" you can do to cut the cost down. We save credit card points for this trip every year and our hotel and flights are free. You see the same faces every year and you build friendships with those fans. Most of the cities are interesting and have fun things to do. If you are a fan of college hockey, it is always a fun time. Most FF's will hopefully include one of the following-- your team, a team you despise, or teams that have superstars on them. There has only been a couple of clunker years and cities. So, if you have the means, I would suggest finding a couple of buddies etc to make this a yearly trip and the years that your team make it, it makes the experience that much more fun.
We do the same thing. For us it’s a hockey vacation, added bonus if the Gophers are there. Yes, it’s expensive so not everyone can or even wants to do it, but like frozen4champs said, it’s a blast to see people, explore an area and watch good hockey. We booked our downtown Boston hotel a year ago, price averages $160 a night. I just looked at the same hotel, same room type for the FF weekend…over $370!! So yes it pays to book ahead.
Note: Due to inflation dirty deeds will no longer be done dirt cheap.
Next year is in Tampa. Book your hotel now and cancel if the Gophers don’t make it. Most hotels allow cancellations up to 24 hours in advance.
Every year, I book my hotel block at the Embassy Suites near Pasadena/Glendale usually around this time in the hope that it will finally be the year for the Rose Bowl. Usually cancel in October. Latest cancel date ever for me was 2019. But yes, often good to hit up the hotels with free cancelation; just have to stay on top of it & not forget.

Let's go Q!

Mich up 3-0

Was planning on watching more of that game but the USA soccer game is too good right now. (up 3-0)

For cryin' out loud Q. :dope:
How do you feel right now if you're a St. Clown fan and your team actually lost to these guys?
In retrospect I found this to be interesting. I've managed to get them all right so far, with the Gophers winning it all. Looks like I'm not alone...

You feel like you play in an overrated conference. ?
That being said.. if you let Michigan open it up. They are so hard to stop. To beat them you have to clog the middle of the ice.

Even then they hold the puck well and pick you apart eventually. Kinda wish they drew Mankato instead.
The Q is on the board. 4-1

They aren't rolling over and Michigan isn't a team built to defend
Dang

So Michigan's goalie can take five minutes to tie his skate and give his team a free timeout?
Equipment problem my ass. Was MI charged a timeout? If not, complete garbage.

I really wish the Q hadn't given up a SHG on a 2-on-0 break in the 2nd.
Q pulled goalie
5-3

That'll likely do it
Shoooooot… I wanted to see “the greatest team ever assembled” crap their breezers.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Not sure I love pulling your goalie
Why pull him so soon?
If they scored would you all be criticizing the move?
Q pulled goalie
Wasn't that a little early?
Pulling your goalie with four minutes left is like going for it on 4th down deep in your own territory. If it works you look like a genius. If not ...
If you need a goal, why not spend 4 minutes trying to get it. If it turns out you need 2, I'd rather have 4 minutes to get them than 45 seconds.
6-3

Payback on April 9th. Let’s make it happen.

Yes and def against Michigan which they have now proven by scoring 2 EN.

What a wild finish! 7-4 final.
That shorty Michigan scored in the 2nd was the difference. I'd like to have seen how things would play out if the Q's third goal was the game-tier.
