    Get him a counterfeit so he understands someone younger than him had to slave away and sew it together in labor camp outside of Guanzhou...

    kid will be more appreciative of going to school and the good ol "Merica.S.A. after that!  :D 

     

    And then hopefully grow up to never be enough of a POS to consider buying one for themselves someday.

    Maybe I'll just get him something else.

    I’m not saying anything new but I’m going to sum up the overall feelings.
    -The play on the ice Saturday was poor overall but there were still good things to build on.
    -Strinden dragged us down with his bad game and it didn’t improve as the night went on.  Idk what needs to happen with him but this staff will make a calculated decision: if he’s in next Friday, I trust them, if he’s out next Friday, I trust them. I don’t think this will a Bubs mentality where upperclassmen get free passes all season long. I think he’ll play but will have a shorter leash. He’ll get instruction behind closed doors that we won’t know about and that’s ok. It’s a good reminder that we don’t see it all.

    We are a very young team and still Managed to go 3-1 against 2 good teams this early on. We’ll see his next weekend goes but I’m very happy with our record at this stage in the young season.

    This smells like a Hakstol team- struggle a bit while learning and then start going on long winning streaks in the 2nd half of the season. 

    Hope you are right...but I'm totally expecting them to win two games on the road against Clarkson. (no small feat) Expectations couldn't be higher for Sioux fans; we are spoiled and expect to win but I totally get that it takes time to build team chemistry.

    Minnesota @ UND - Friday night game thread

    in Men's Hockey

    Just back to the No-tell Motel here in GF.  What a fun atmosphere for tonight’s game!  Gophers looked like they were ready to play from the start and they jumped on the Sioux right away.  UND never quit moving their feet though and were even after one.  Second period had chances but nobody could cash it in.  Third period, Sioux imposed their will on the Rodents and really limited their offensive chances.  Even up 2 goals in the third, guys were laying on the ice trying to block shots.  Gofers ended up with 2? SOG in the period.  Love the aggressive style UND plays, could be a fun year.

    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!

    Mr Bina!

    Haha great story. 
    I remember that the UND offense wasn't flowing very well through either game that weekend.  They beat Princeton in the first game but got heavily outshot (I had to go back and check the boxscore...UND won 5-1 but got outshot 39-18...Duncan with the hatty).
    And then in the UW game, Duncan's game tying goal in the 3rd that went post and in...that was the loudest post shot I'd ever heard in a game before...it echoed thru the Kohl Center.

    Oh man, I feel like I had a hand in that game!  We were struggling offensively through two periods big time.  Down 2-0 but felt like a bigger gap than that.  From the perspective of that video above, the UND parents section was straight down below by the glass.  I was sitting next to the Finley's in Coach Osh's seat, row 2 seat 2, since he went up to the press box.  Along the way, we tried different things for luck...Joe's mom, being that Joe was #2, decided it would be a good idea to sit in seat #2 where I was, so we swapped.  Didn't seem to work.  Leading up to the game, and in the game itself, our top line was Duncan, Oshie, and I want to say Rylan Kaip, but memory is escaping me for sure....BUT, earlier in the year there was a period of time when it was Duncan, Oshie, and Kozek.  They scored a ton and I thought they clicked.  I'm guessing Hakstol liked someone with Kozek's shot and scoring ability on the second line for some balance which is why he didn't stay up there.

    I was convinced enough that moving Kozek back to the top line was a good idea that after the second period I ran over to the tunnel (in the video above, near-side on the right) and yelled to Hak "PUT KOZEK ON THE TOP LINE!!"  A Badger fan standing there along the railing said "Do you think he's going to listen to you?!"  In my mind I thought he was probably right, so scurried on back to my seat.  But sure enough, to start the third, Kozek was there again on the top line.  Then boom, it was all downhill from there.  Unbelievable third period and overtime.  Kozek scored that game-winner right in front of us and it was pandemonium.  I turned to make eye contact with that Badger fan and he looked back at me, and with the biggest grin on my face gave him the biggest double birds of my life. :lol:

    I'll always wonder if I had a legitimate role in that or not.  Maybe one day I'll get to run into Hak again and I can ask.

    Enjoy!

    Long story short....

    In the 78-79 season, we let Kermit the Frog (mascot in a little Farce helmet and ref jersey), sit on top of the glass during warmups.  When Michigan visited, they stole Kermit.  Whisked him off to the locker room after warmups.  Much negotiating between us and the Michigan locker room ensued: They offered to return him in return for a sweep.  We replied "give us back the Frog and we'll only beat you by 9 goals". And so on.  During pre-game, and during the game, Kermit was tied up and hanging from the backup goalie's stick.  Then they took him back to Ann Arbor.

    In the following days, media picked up the story.  Virg Foss interviewed the Grand Exalted Poobah and several of us lesser Poobahs for a story.  Which got picked up by Associated Press syndication.  The Herald followed up with a contest for a bumper sticker slogan and "Kermit's Luck Guides Our Puck" was the winner.  

    The next season, we swept the series and got Kermit back. 

    Great story!

    What was the deal with this?  I was 5 at the time and I remember having a Kermit the Frog that I would sometimes bring to games.  Even have a picture in the Dakota Student holding Kermit.  Remember "Kermit's luck guides our puck"  and it would ride around on the Zamboni.  Was it stolen or rewarded to Series winner?

     

    Kermit was the unofficial mascot back then until Jim Henson sent a cease and desist letter.  I remember having a t-shirt that said “Kermit’s the Way to the NCAA’s”.  I’m guessing it’s connected to the Farce.

    My brother and I have been saying this for 50 years, we are old!!  Also, was attending a Gopher UND game a few years ago at Mariucci and one guy was yelling and screaming at Joe Finley to go back to Canada!  LMAO, .....Joe was from Edina.  Another well informed Gopher fan!

    I wonder if most Gofer fans realize the season has actually started.

    Thinking back on that overtime winner, had the one Gopher D man not bit and committed in the neutral zone, maybe Q doesn’t score on that sick two on one. Man, if that were a designed set play, kudos to Coach Pecknold and staff for drawing that up! He deserves a ten year extension simply for that one play, IMO. 

    There's a video on YouTube talking about how this was a designed play...don't like Pecknold one bit but it was a pretty good call to win it obviously.

    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. 

    The guy from Auggie, Garrett Raboin, will end up being the next coach of Minny if they care about hockey at all.  Just my 2 cents.
