Read and Enjoy!!! My daughter documented this real-time recap of the Sioux-Gopher game in Mpls in January 2007, as we were on vacation and unable to follow it. It was a classic. First Period: Both teams came out strong and Minnesota made clear their intentions to play rough with anger by trying some pushing and stuff after the very first whistle. The game was pretty even for the first half of the first period and then North Dakota scored the first goal (Zajac). Wooooooooooooo. A couple of minutes later North Dakota scored again (Duncan). Yaaaaaaay! Then the penalties started. Apparently we hadn't learned much from the game last night. Basically the rest of the first period involved the killing of penalties followed by more penalties all on our part of course. Minnesota scored on a 5 on 3 to make it 2-1. Then Minnesota scored again and again. Two of their goals were on power play. So it was 2-3 towards the end of the period. Then with a minute or two left. Bina cleared the puck from right next to our goal. It bounced down the ice right on net and bounced right over the goalie's leg! HA HA HA HA! It was possibly the best goal I've ever seen. Second Period: Briggs is in playing goalie now. The other guy was probably too busy crying with shame to play this period. Aha the first penalty is on us of course. Interestingly Finley has not even been in the box yet. Penalty MN. Successfully killed. Penalty Us. Successfully killed. Penalty MN. (only their 3rd of the game) Duncan scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4-3. Fabian Goal only seconds later!!!!!!!!!! 5-3. coincidentals 4 on 4. oops penalty on duncan. 4 on 3 for a minute. now 5 on 4... successfully killed. Then of course another penalty on us. Successfully killed to bring us into the 2nd period break. Bina got the hit of the game. and though MN had many chances this period they did not score. woot Third Period: I hate when announcers call the puck a biscuit. Penalty on VandeVelde 2.5 minutes into the third. Our 10th penalty. Successfully killed. Penalty on MN shortly after ours is killed. Oshie SCORES!!!!!! 6-3. oh he's so cute. Trivia: What 3 WCHA teams have never shut out the gophers at home? A: Alaska, Minnesota St. and UND. Penalty MN. Successfully killed. Oshie SCORESSSSSSSSSSS! And the fans are putting on their coats with 8 minutes left in the period. 7-3. Penalty on Finley. Successfully killed. Gophers look demoralized, just the way I like 'em. The crowd is cheering Overrated. I am guessing the sioux fans are the ones yelling as they seem to be the only ones left in the arena. Fight! with 17 seconds left. someone's a poor loser. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!! WE WON!!!!!! Suck it Gophers! 7-3 ! A Sweep! woohoo!

Cole Reschny

Watching Verhoeff he reminded me of Victor Hedman. Big guy that is very smooth on his skates. Takes away a lot of space when defending and closes fast when they get in our zone. He's as good as advertised and may only be a one year guy but I'm hoping for two from him. Another guy that impressed me that I didn't know a lot about was Jack Kernan. At 6'1" and 193 pounds and a freshman he also looks like the real deal. Got himself open many times and could have had a hat trick if not for hitting Reschny in front of the goal. If that line stays together with Swanson and Reschny it will be hard for anyone to play against. Overall I thought the team was much faster than last year. Josephson is really fast.

Jack Kernan

Looking for 4 lower bowl tickets to the Manitoba exhibition game on Saturday Oct. 4th. Please contact me if you have 4 for sale. Thanks in advance.

Sorry I missed that. I read an article wrong. Then hey then coming to UND would be more like home.

There have been rumors for the last 6 months that BC and BU have been offering $300,000 or more for McKenna to come there. Since he's from Quebec it will surprise me if he comes to UND just like I was surprised Boisvert came here.

Holy Smokes I won! Thanks Siouxforeverbaby for doing this every year.

Thanks

Does anyone know if you can leave between the games today?

Sacha Boivert

I know nothing but I had hypothesized that with Boivert being from Quebec that he may decide to go back east. That would really suck especially when I see BU and BC are already rumored to offer 6 figures or more for guys like Sacha. Come on Sacha, stay at least one more year!

Darren Looker had the best quote before the game when he said: " The three people that are hoping UND wins tonight the most are my wife, Tom Reid, and Patrick McGovern's" 😃

Not quite. There is still Denver!!

If CC and UND both win CC gets Western and UND gets ASU assuming ASU wins too. On another note, it's hard to believe how bad St Cloud is this year. What the heck happened? I wonder when the last time they had 20 losses in a season. Gees they are 3-14 in their last 17 games.

As always thanks for doing this siouxforeverbaby. gees I first won one of these in 2012-2013. I’m old😳😳

Thanks Blackheart. I was starting to think it would end up in a defenseman battle. At least one of these games both of our guys scored to win a game so we got that going for us🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

I just counted and I have 10 players(besides goalies) that I could pick tonight. Odds are not good I get one right but: I pick Ben Strinden.

Kind of crazy that neither of us can pick a guy that scores. Pretty soon we’ll have picked the whole team. So I’m going off the board tonight and picking Caleb MacDonald.
