  1. Not only that--very few gopher fans know how to use twitter yet, so you could pretty much rule them out.
  2. As a fan, it was an extremely fun year. Dave proved again just how good he is, and the boys have a lot to be proud of.
  3. Interesting information, but I think it's also a different question with a high draft pick. It may be that it is for those players that the CHL gets its rep. For example, Seth Jones probably does not worry too much whether he will get to the NHL. For him, the question is which route can get him there the soonest and to stay.
  4. Makes sense, but I hate to see Gaarder off the ice. Really like his play
  5. I love Blood, and he was a horse this year. But man, he coughed up a lot of pucks.
  6. That freshman bunch of ODonnell, Parks, Matson, Grimaldi, and MacMillan, with the quickness and work ethic they have, could give the Sioux a BC-like quaility next year. If Kristo stays, their quickness level will be as high as it's been in many years.
  7. York has something historic going at BC. Amazing.
  8. What a weekend. Opening round of FF. Opening round at Augusta. Opening day in MLB. Easter. Hopefully a 54-hole weekend for yours truly. Now if the Sioux were in Tampa, it would be perfect.
  9. How has he done, BTW?
  10. Nobody likes the one-and-done aspect of modern college sports, but we have to keep in mind that without early departures like Brock's, UND would not be seriously considered by players like Parise, Toews, Grimaldi, and Jones. Those players all see college hockey as a preparation for the NHL, and a player leaving after two years is proof to them that this program can prepare them. So as disappointing as Brock's departure is, it's not all bad news in the long run.
  11. Whoever takes over at Mankato will insist that they dump the soccer song as a condition of acceptance. That's before they talk money and health insurance.
  12. I shouldn't have used my uncle as my agent.
  13. So true. I gave up my 7th year for the money teaching English to 9th graders. Shakes head.
  14. That line up could cause some major headaches if it happens. The Gophers will be loaded with young talent too. Exciting year ahead.
  15. Whether Kristo, Nelson or Forbort stay, I'm really looking forward to watching this year's freshmen play next year. I think that group has the potential to have more impact than any single class in a long time. (And yes, it's just potential)
  16. I don't think Kristo will see Hextall's chances as comparable to his. Hextall was good for the Sioux, but he didn't have the tools Kristo has.
  17. I thought my comment might be misinterpreted. Lucia is damn good. I only meant that I don't think Lucia would have taken this group of players farther. Eaves, who I do not hold in higher regard than Lucia, might have, I think because of his focus on discipline and the systems he coaches. I was just too lazy (and full of sh!!! probably) to go into it. You were right to call me out on it, though.
  18. Thank Parise Sandelin doesn't coach the Sioux. Getting shellacked 4-0 with all that talent?
  19. Gwoz, Lucia, Red, and Eaves have a bunch of natties between them, but I don't think any of them could have taken this team as far as Hak and his staff did. Certainly not Lucia.
  20. It would be a real shocker if talent had anything to do with that. Beyond comprehension for the most simple-minded among us.
  21. Your expectations? You mean your needs. Congrats Hak and his staff for the coaching team of the year, IMO. None were better this year.
  22. If the Sioux don't move their feet against this Gopher team, they will take penalties and they will lose.
  23. Good points. I'm sure we're all tickled that the Sioux are in the tourney, given what they have gone through, but we would be foolish to take too much from the FinFiv weekend. Sure is nice to be in the gravy phase, though.
  24. Boys, I think it's time I told you I'm seriously thinking of becoming a girl. I know that's a lot to lay on you at a time like this, but I've kept it inside me long enough. Plus, if things keep going this way in this game, they'll probably fire me anyway, so you won't have to deal with it. But if, just if, you like the idea of being coached by a girl, then go out there and kick some a$$. And I know you can do it--I already have a dress picked out.
