Doubt it. If the NCHC bent over and took it in the ***, Notre Dame would be in the NCHC and SCSU would still be in the WCHA.

Woah, how'd you do that? If UND ends up having to play Minnesota in Fargo, so be it. Either way, UND is going to have to beat good teams to win another national championship. I wouldn't mind if the boys exorcised some of their demons from last year. With that said, season isn't even over yet. Western Michigan is not going to be a slouch.

Hahaha!

Haha, you are right. Guess we can't poke fun at their shootout ineptitude when UND has been just as bad at it.

UND continues to to fail/suck at shootouts. Hopefully this tie doesn't haunt the team in terms of where they end up in the standings. Big missed opportunity.

My intention wasn't to make any comparisons. I'm just surprised at how many seats were left empty in games against big rivals Michigan and Wisconsin. A lot of people missed out on watching Michigan get shellacked in person. Empty seats were few and far between when UND played Minnesota at the Mariucci. It's not that hard to dislike Michigan or Wisconsin. Don't know how that wouldn't garner more interest in attending.

I hope that ***hole is banned from attending games at the Ralph for a long while. Not cool that someone would do that.

^ This. Johnson shows flashes of brilliance. If only he can put in a full effort all game long.

Asked Brad in the game chat. He's a healthy scratch. If that's the case, Johnson should still sit a game. Get his act together.

I thought he was. Thought he has been a healthy scratch. I could be wrong.

Agreed with the thoughts on Johnson. Make him sit a game. I'm honestly surprised Trevor Olson isn't getting any game time since getting over mono.

I thought Michigan and Wisconsin were now Minnesota's biggest rivals? Could fool me with all the empty seats during these big time rivalry games. I hope there are as many available seats when UND goes to the Mooch when the teams resume playing in the regular season.

It's always great when he is wrong. His excuse is that the alleged turmoil within the Gopher hockey program is the factor as to why Boeser chose UND. He's got two buddies still going there. I highly doubt it is as big of a factor as he'd like to make it be. Even more, Hammy scoffed at Andy Johnson aka Chuck Schwartz since he had the audacity to say that the decision between Minnesota/UND was much closer than some thought. Also add in the fact that Andy mentioned that North Dakota fitted more into Boeser's style. Looks like Andy was correct on both statements he made. Boeser chose North Dakota and Brock told NHL.com that "It was a combination of me feeling good with the coaches, the facilities, and their style of play," Boeser told NHL.com in an email. "I think it's the best fit for me and my development." Link to NHL.com article on Boeser's committment: http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=37024

^ That would be a great gesture to do. My condolences to Coach Montgomery and his family.

How sweet. A follower imparting his finite wisdom. You are correct. The world does need followers like you gfhockey. You make a fine follower of the %gobc.

Hahaha, yep.

This, very much this! Totally different emotions. This one pissed me off too. I was quiet when the Gophers won last year. I may have let out a loud expletive when Ortega scored in this one....

Can we start a fire gfhockey thread over this? Somebody has to face reprisal over this.

I also blame gfhockey for this loss. Everyone and their mother knew this was a HUGE game and he doesn't start the game day thread when he has explicitly said he'd do it only for big/important games. Thanks a lot gfhockey!

What total BS. Good job refs. Handed the Mavs the victory in OT. Congrats to Ortega on selling the cross check. He should've been called for embellishment and gone in the box with MacMillan.

So how's the start of the Gophers season going, Mariucci?

Wheels falling off for Wisconsin. No surprise there. Down 6-4 now to Michigan.

Yeah, just like last weekend for the big games against Denver.......

You do realize how big of a hypocrite you are being, right? Right? You are doing the exact same thing. If you won't even own up to that, you are just another deluded Gopher fan who acts like there is a halo above each Gopher players head.

Why wouldn't they be voted #1? They haven't lost in 8 games. I hope they beat the snot out of Minnesota.
