Am I the only who who has noticed a lot of teams will mock the UND fan finger point in air thing (when Chelsea Dagger is played) when they score against? I've seen a lot of teams doing it the last few years (both in the NCHC and out of conference).

Series Excitement for Me: Super Excited 1. Minnesota 2. Denver 3. BC/BU/Wisconsin/Maine/Michigan State/Michigan (if we would ever play them) Pretty Excited 4. UMD Meh to Not Excited 5. Rest of NCHC (with Miami & Omaha literally the least interesting of the rest) 6. Bemidji

Gopher hockey podcast lamenting Mariucci and Kohl Center being too big. Meanwhile, UND is selling out the Ralph still. I don't know the right size for a college hockey arena but they should have tipped their cap to UND. We will see if UND can keep filling the Ralph.

Berry was lazy and wanted to use the portal to solve his problems over finding hs talent.

no kidding. what the hell is wrong with the Denver fanbase? All that winning and they got no one cheering them on.

is UMD #3 for UND rivals now? 1. Denver / Minnesota 2. Minnesota / Denver 3. UMD

it didn't used to be this way for them. They used to sell out every night. For as much as people make fun of the Kohl Center being empty now, Mariucci looks the same most games.

why is Mariucci always empty? I thought they were an iconic franchise.

is UND on its way to becoming the Nebraska football of hockey. Big name blue blood that loses its prestige. So much money in Big Ten + NIL now.

how long until the Fire Dane people come out?

You like SCSU? It's such a boring town and lame atmosphere. Give me UMD for the cool energy around Duluth / harbor.

sounds like waffle house in the south or White Castle.

boring building, boring fanbase, boring city. Zero desire to ever go to that arena. Do we know what the UND players say is their favorite roadtrip? I feel like sometimes they ask the players. I imagine they say either UMD, Denver, or Western.

how about this for NCHC school roadtrips: Fun 1. Duluth 2. Denver 3. Tempe Ok 4. Western 5. CC Meh 6. Omaha 7. Miami 8. St. Cloud

Do they have any plans to get Wisconsin back on the schedule?

lets be honest Magness in game environment sucks. Denver needs to build a fanbase before they have the atmosphere of a big time program. Every time I've been its 60% UND fans.

I can't believe ESPN thinks Michigan State vs BU is a better game than UND vs Minnesota. They must think the casuals won't watch UND because it isn't a well known university.

I don't like this idea. It needs to be played when the students are around. The Ralph and Mariucci aren't the same with the students gone.

151-137-16. How come every website shows a different all-time record? What is the all-time record in this rivalry?

crazy idea but I think UND and Minnesota should do a home and home every year like we just did with UST (1 game at each arena). keeps momentum/energy for each fanbase in rivalry. Do it the same weekend every year (like how Alabama Tennessee always play the same weekend in October ever year in football).

Every Gophers fans I've meant knows UND is a blue blood. They just hate our program. All I say is F them back. I have to admit Bob Motzko does not seem like he should be a coach of a blue blood. Gophers need a young visionary polished guy running the program. Doesn't appear that Bob has any vision or striver mindset like the other big school coaches (he's no Hakstol, how Jackson sounds, Nick Saban in football if you hear them all talk). I seriously have no idea what Minnesota saw in him unless he was a transitional coach for them after Lucia.

I think Denver is currently enemy #1, not Minnesota.

According to Wikpedia, series all time is 145-137-16 in favor of Minnesota. I want to see us make progress on passing them in all-time series (hopefully in next 15-20 years can pass them). As a side note, programs with 5+ games played UND has a losing record against. Very small list! Cornell (12 games) - .417 Wisconsin (113 games) - .460 Michigan (94 games) - . 468 Minnesota (298 games) - .487 Notre Dame (38 games) - .487

that's insane. Karl was not ready to be a HC. I feel like there is more than that going on. Maybe Brad and Dane didn't see eye to eye and Karl was a Brad guy.

Karl and Dane don't look like they are on good terms.
