Barcalounger. Unfortunately.

The UND student section chanted "Gopher rejects!" at the MSU-M players? Wow, that's darn near a compliment. The letter = Too funny

Then you will be assigned to cover me!

....and neither is a BADGer. So they have that going for them.

Wow, bad few weeks. Sorry about your grandma and best of luck to your mom. Good luck with the move.

You're 100% correct. The top DU line accounted for one 5X5 goal this weekend. It was late in the second and MN scored 9 seconds later to basically drop the hammer on DU. Guyer's line (Guyer, Chucko, Howe) kept them in check for most of the weekend. DU does only skate three lines (DU's fourth line could count their shifts per night on one hand) and only forechecks hard with the Statsny line. The other lines dump and regroup with one token forechecker. Spread the ice against DU and one good pass should get you out of the zone.

Or...."you read it here first"

Imagine if MN remains top four in the PWR & ends up with the number one in GF.......Gophers in the Sioux lockerroom.....that would drive some of yuse guys over the edge.

Soooo, no worries about excess celebrations tonight.

I think the Chi Chi Rodriguez sword bit would be perfect.

I remember a smattering (or more) of boos the first time ZP was introduced at Mariucci but I don't think it went far beyond that or anywhere near what Kessel faced in madtown. Of course, we MN fans were being dazzled by this kid from Austria..... Personally, if MN can't get a blue chippa they're after I hope another WCHA team gets him. Good for the league & good for me as a fan.

And three have played in the POI/SS.com games.

At least. I couldn't have scored in a whorehouse that day.

Wasting beer? Now that is something to get POed about!!

Confirmed. Actually, sagard is simply a huge fan of the game who also happens to be a Gopher fan. These are the guys who are the most fun to talk hockey with (whether they are a Sioux, Gopher, Badger (poor bastiches), Terrier, Black Bear, etc. etc. etc fan) because the simply love the game. That being said I'm very disappointed I wont be able to attend either UND game next weekend so I won't get to see the UND freshman class in person.

Is there an English translation? I've never thought about posting from a philosophical perspective, I post here because I like discussing & reading about my favorite sport. I also like beer.

It was befitting for this larger than life reputation you've engineered. Anyway, good luck through the holidays UNDers, see ya'll in January.

I was cheering for the WCHA school. BTW - I wasn't in Cowlumbus, otherwise we would have been buying each other beers....or at least you'd been buying for me if we had run into each other. It was a great weekend of hockey for both teams and very entertaining to watch. Great passes, rushes up the ice, saves, and some chippyness....this weekend had a little of everything.

Thanks for the (bad) trip down memory lane Farce, you communist. While I'm certainly not a UND fan one of the most memorable college games I've ever been to was while I attended UMD. I was in the stands for the comeback. Amazing comeback, especially considering UMD was loaded with great players.

I certainly enjoyed the 2004 outcome much more. For some reason the 97 game has always stood out to me, probably because so much was stake regarding the NCAA tournament. Bleepin Michigan and another overrated ECAC gets a bye.

One of the most enjoyable MN/UND hockey games to watch - despite the final result - was the WCHA FF championship game between MN & UND in 1997. The teams ended up tied for the regular season title and the FF final goes to OT? How much better can it get? It was a great game to watch and basically determined which of the two teams would get the first round bye in the NCAA's while the loser would get Michigan in (surprise) Michigan. It was the start of a magical couple weeks for the Sioux.

Cave - That was in OT of the Saturday night game during the first round of 2002 the WCHA playoffs. It was a rare down year for a Blais coached UND team (7th seed I believe because MN finished 3rd in the WCHA). I have the Broten goal on my computer for an occasional viewing. Love or hate the Gophers, it was an amazing play. And, as long as we are reminiscing, how long did @#*!^$ Curtis Murphy play for UND? It seemed like he was at UND for a decade.....or at least he scored a decades worth of points against MN.

This should be framed.....great post.

There's a difference? Goon - that was almost a compliment to MN.

Because you're to close to retirement? Good luck Virg, though it's always sad to see the remaining links to the past saunter off into the sunset.
