Make up. They missed a call against the Hawks just earlier. Fair.

these CC announcers are really objective.

Very good period of hockey. Keep it up and they will win this.

Hope the Hawks hammer them tonight. But I have to say I've always liked CC. They've been down for several year, but they played a very good, fast-paced brand of hockey not long ago. Tiny school that has built a bit of an identity around hockey. I hope they get it back, just not tonight.

Just for fun, you guys should visit the Blackhawks game thread on HFboards sometime. They go down two goals and it gets truly ugly. No wonder Chi has so many murders.

I've really liked Bowen's play too. He has speed and he uses all of it.

That's great. Everyone loves an underdog with heart and determination. And that kind of player can inspire too.

Boy, it was a real mess when we played them. Worst I've seen in a long time.

Dave, You have to understand that everyone here knows you are misrepresenting yourself on this site, and there are many tells. The main one is this: If I were a passionate Hawks fan and had been for years, would I spend my time over on GPL posting about how good the Hawks are? Of course not. I would have no reason to. If I did, they would conclude very quickly that I was just there to draw attention to myself by irritating gopher fans. EVERYBODY remembers that kid from middle school--acting up just to get attention. We've all had to deal with him or her. Would I go over to GPL from time to time for some good-natured ribbing or sincere hockey talk that was not just constant expressions of how good the Hawks are or how weak the Gophers are? Sure, and they would give me a little shat back but be OK with it. Pull yourself away from the mirror a second and watch some other non-UND fans who come here and participate in honest-to-goodness hockey talk. There are a LOT of gopher fans in eastern NoDak and where I live in the heart of Badger country. And those gopher fans are committed and passionate, even though they live in Sioux or Badger country. They do not back down, and they do not waiver in their support. But they are mature about it, and they do not constantly use their fandom simply as a means to get attention. They are FANS, not children. I live 50 minutes from Madison. Most of the people I live around, work with, and am friends with are Badger fans. A friend of mine played for the Badger hockey team. Many of them know I am a Sioux/Hawks fan, but not all. I talk smack with them from time to time, but it is friendly. Most of our exchanges are about hockey, not how good UND is or how bad UW is. It's about hockey, not about me. I'm no model, but you need to grow the fark up. Have some fun smacking UND fans now and then, but if all you can do is go on about how good the gophers or the B1G is, do that where people care. But you won't, you see, and that is why people here know you are a fraud. You are here for attention. I shouldn't be giving it to you, but I suppose there is a slight chance you really are a gopher fan and just don't get it. You can be a passionate gopher fan and have some good conversations here. But not if your goal is only to draw attention to DaveK.

Exactly what came to my mind upon hearing that, Sic. Dean was brutally honest.

Those weirdos always cover for each other.

Have to say, Hrynkiw is sure good at the bail-out role.

they've played pretty well since the 2nd CC goal

What happens if all 5 get chased?

Gardner doesn't even get to the dot before he's chased. I wonder if he made an observation about the ref's mother.

Textbook loser's rationale.

Minnie not as good as UMD

Yup. due

I think Gersich gets one tonight. Hawks controlling the period.

North Dakota just isn't as good as a lot of teams this year. Live with it. Doesn't mean we don't have a chance to pull off big things, but the chances are a slim as they are with any team that is good but not outstanding.

I disagree. They don't have the kind of talent we are used to, particularly with Jost out. I don't see why that is such a mystery.

Be glad we don't have to deal with floating tiger heads.

Go Dogs

Did they start a different goaltender? Only two goals both nights . . .

Did any of you guys see the CC/UMD series or talk to anyone who did? A win and a tie and only 4 goals against in UMD's barn tells me they are capable of playing some pretty good hockey.
