No one loves winning titles less than the state of Minnesota. They put three of the four teams in the Frozen Four which is hockey’s nod to the Final Four. The teams featured were Minnesota State, St. Cloud State, and Minnesota-Duluth. There was potential for an all-Minnesota final. And none of them won. Rather, the team from Massachusetts took home the crown. It’s very Minnesota to have three opportunities at a championship and watch it slip by into thin air.

Minnesota having 3 out of the 4 teams in the Frozen Four and not winning a national title might be the most Minnesota sports thing ever

Yes, I know Duluth won the last two titles, shaddup. But seriously, do you know how hard this is? You have 75 percent of the participants left and somehow they get wiped up by UMass, which is a good hockey state in its own right. But also, this is the sport of Minnesota. You feel like they should be able to win it regularly especially when you have three of the four teams in there.

Tough weekend for Minnesotans with this and the Timberwolves selling to two guys who have no relations to Minnesota and will probably try to move the team to Vegas or Seattle. I hope that’s not true for my T-pup friends but I wouldn’t feel good about it without a new stadium in the works.
