Kind of glad the weather topic came up. How quickly do they close down freeways up there....if at all? We're staying in Fargo Thursday night so should hopefully beat it before it hits too bad. Just worried about the drive from Fargo to GF Friday. I've heard people say they close down freeways if the wind really starts howling from drifting snow.
Thanks!

Please, please, please tell me you are going to have the chick in a gopher jersey in the penalty box. That was hilarious!!!!
Ha! I almost forgot about that.....that was classic. Althought Wheeler is gone so it would not quite have the same effect. That was genius though.

I just heard on KFAN a few minutes ago PA and The Producer will be making the trip to Grand Forks for their show at the Long Haul Saloon on Friday!
GO SIOUX!!!!
But with no more Dubay it will be 2 hours 45 minutes of hockey talk, 10 minutes of basketball and 5 minutes of pro and college hockey. Granted Dubay was a Gopher homer but at least he gave us all COLLEGE hockey talk on the airwaves.

You can use a picture of me for that one if you want!

That'll be key if you guys want to win.
Gophers have the 2nd ranked PK in the nation, and 4th ranked PP.
Don't bring stats into a series with these two teams, they mean nothing!
-
I'll 2nd what AZSioux said on page 1, this is the greatest rivalry in college hockey!
Should be a heck of a series! Not too thrilled about Lucia not making the trip but obviously his health is much more important then a hockey game. Hopefully it fires up the team a little as well to play for the Coach. Sure hope they get some more of those white-out t-shirts in by Friday, would like to pick up a couple.
Anyone know if the old Dagwoods opened back up, can't remember what the name of it was most recently?
EDIT: Whats the status of Big Joe Finley? Is he back or still injured?
-
Edina Coach Giles when asked how to contain Mattson said they should trip him when no ones looking tonight. Nice coaching strategy!!!!
-
After the horrible officiating at last years game I don't blame people for not wanting to play!
-
you gona be at the ralph that weekend FHG? i assume you are
Heck yeah I'll be there. I can't wait for that weekend. Starting the weekend early and staying in Fargo on Thursday night.
-
Heck I'll buy one of those shirts, maybe even 2 as a momento. Even if it does have the UND logo on it I'd still wear it. We may not like each others teams but you can't deny the rivalry, so having the logos on it is almost better.
-
Why would the gopher game be part of their season ticket package if it's not technically their home game? Is it part of the MSU-M and/or UMD season ticket package?
Yeah, I don't know why I wrote that......I'm not bright. Must have been in a hurry or something.
-
thanks. i would expect more seats to be filled. thats pathetic actually. im sure it will fill up more by saturday.its friken wcha hockey people!
Yeah, thats what I thought too. The Gopher game is televised and I believe it was not part of the season ticket package so alot of people must just want to see the game on tv. Can't totally blame them I guess, a day down in St. Paul can get pretty spendy I guess, especially with these times. But as you said it's WCHA hockey so I assume it would have filled up, two pretty good games actually, especially with SCSU and UMD havins some pretty good games in the last few years.
-
so they are playing at the X right? i assume these are regular wcha games that count? just making sure. thanks
Saturday game at the "X". Gophers play home Friday at Mariucci and Kato is considered the home team at the "X" Saturday.
Then SCSU plays UMD at the NHC on Friday night and Saturday they play at the "X" where UMD will be considered the home team.
*Both games at the "X" are conference games that are counted in the WCHA standings.
Supposedly only 6K seats have been sold for this tourney......seems a bit odd.
-
2nd week of the regular season and we have 8 wcha teams in league action.
Wisconsin at Denver - DU sweeps
North Dakota at Minnesota State - SPLIT
Minnesota at St. Cloud State (friday) - SCSU @ Minn (saturday) - SIOUX 3 points
Michigan Tech at Colorado College - CC sweeps
not playing league this weekend are UAA vs MAINE on friday and MERCYHURST on saturday in a tourney in fairbanks - UAA splits
DULUTH hosts WESTERN MICHIGAN friday and saturday - UMD splits
Sioux are going to take 3 points between the Gophers and SCSU AND split with Kato? They have a busy weekend ahead!
-
So to summarize the last few posts.......the NCAA SUCKS!!!!
-
This is a tough thread to start but I will have to CANCEL and shut down my WCHA fantasy hockey league I have ran for the last 3 seasons with no prior issues. Per NCAA rules - fantasy leagues are not allowed anymore using student athletes names which are involved in the league due to eligibility issues with student athletes. I have been told to shut it down per NC$$ rules by multiple sources and will do so.
We all know how it is. ONLY the NC$$ likes to make money or get noticed by their athletes right? Only the NC$$ can sell replica jerseys with a number on the jersey knowing very well who that player is but cant put his name on the back due to their own rules. I will stop here as I can go off for paragraphs if I wanted to.
I understand the rules, I do but the most disapointing part of this as I didnt do it to make money, not 1 damn cent. I didnt do it for any other reason but to expand the average WCHA hockey fans knowledge when it comes to other teams and their players on a week by week basis. Just another reason to laugh at the NCAA and the joke that it is. I will leave it at this and say sorry to everyone who signed up and was ready for another great year of fantasy.
AZSIOUX
WOW, thats too bad. I was excited to try this for the first time. Frickin NCAA!
Thanks for the effort in putting this deal together anyways, AZSioux.
-
Hit the El Roco as well. That is a must hit for us when we come up for roadtrips. And of course the Red Pepper, no trip to GF is complete without a trip to the Pepper.
-
I may actually have to try this finally. Never done fantasy football or hockey before so no better time to crash and burn I guess.
-
I agree its my choice, but why can't I every few years not have too. Think about all of the hassles those in the cities don't have to go through. I don't think that any arena in the TC or elsewhere is so much better than the Ralph, that, Grand Forks (Madison, Denver etc..) should be considered a second class citizen when hosting. IMO, I wouldn't mind seeing a rotating host site for the final five (if you can accomodate the amount of teams and fans). This way you could visit all cities and arenas.
Most of the issue here is as I see it....The golden child is being taken care of.
*I deleted my previous post in case people already read it, didn't make much sense....go figure.
I have always liked that idea but what would you do for St. Cloud, UMD, and mosly Alaska. SCSU and UMD would not have the capacity and not many people would spend the money for go to Alaska. My maroon and gold glasses are on with this comment I'm sure but I always thought the Xcel was a good choice because it was kind of Central for most teams with the exception of the Colorado teams and Alaska.
I would assume when the Sioux name debacle is figured out UND will start hosting some more Regionals?
-
Didn't know Frazee grew his hair out and was playing for Bulgaria.
-
The only question mark this year for the Sioux is goaltending which I guess would be why he has them at #16 but that still seems way too low IMO.
Agreed, that would be my guess why they would have been put that low. I'll be honest when I look at the Sioux roster this year they look scary good!
But then again, it is a blog so it should not be taken too seriously.
-
The proper term is enforcer/policeman.
Boogaards gonna have nothing on Bickel!
-
Doesn't really matter anymore, he's a pro athlete.....he can get out of anything now!
-
I am looking for a rematch... I would love to see Big Joe paste him one.
That is the first thing I thought of when I saw Finley was coming back....... well except for the pasting him part.
Finley vs. Bickel. I am looking forward to the series in January more then ever now! Would be a heck of a good fight.
SIOUX vs GOPHERS

Well we have all day on Friday to get to Grand Forks. If they shut down 29 we could just find some backroads. We'll have a 4-wheel drive truck so Mother Nature can bring it for all I care!
We're up for the challenge.
