If OSU beats UW today, how much, if any, does that hurt UND PW?’

What were the blocked shot numbers last night. I wouldn’t be shocked or even too critical if they were down.

Gf is a quitter who only fills his lungs when UND loses. Just my opinion based on these threads. I’m sure I would think differently if I met him in person.

Those first 3 lines are wicked good, actually. Been a while since we’ve (I’ve) seen that much scoring punch spread across three lines. And the 4th isn’t chopped liver.

Few would probably agree with me, but as long as we keep a regional 1 seed, I have no problem with us getting spanked by CC. Even very good teams (of which UND is one) need to reminded now and then how much concentration and hard work it takes to win this time of year, to say nothing of winning 4 in a row against the best teams in the country.

Wonder which coach/alum was primarily responsible for spotting and recruiting Gaber. He wasn’t heavily recruited, as I recall.

A lot of mental defect from heavy metal exposure.

All 4 rows will be tough to hoe this year. Need Ludwig to be on and catch a few breaks. They’ll be ready to play, and so will the other guys.

Quite a bit of thought went into that, as is Sic's habit. I looked at unis and cheerleaders.

The drunk thing is just a bit. I gotta admit, though, I don't know that for sure.

Ditto How much boosted self esteem do you get if you copy another’s list?

Just wait. I watched Alan Hangsleben and Jim Cahoon as a student in 1971. Enjoying the pleasure of college hockey goes way, way beyond banner count.

gf needs the worst to preserve the only identity he's ever had here.

Learn another trick, gf. You can do it.

I didn't see the game either but wondered if that might have been the case.

You may very well be right, Blackheart. I did not return to UND until 1989. Poobah would certainly know.

Huh. I was being facetious, but your response was very good, Sic.

The Circus had The Farce too, right, something we shouldn't forget.

I recall the writers at the SP Pioneer Press saying that they didn't think anybody would be able to beat the Sioux in the NCAAs that year. And Harkness' undefeated team was just as untouchable--and almost as good in the adjacent years. Not sure we'll see that kind of dominance throughout the tournament again, though. Until the boys steamroll this year.

Yeah, BC thrashed us. York had an amazing run there for a while.

Yeah, I feel that way too, but when it gets to regional and FF play, teams seldom absolutely dominate. Note even sure the Circus completely dominated MSU in '87.

Screens, deflections, bad bounces, freaky own goals, pipes . . . Winning both games at regional and both at FF takes luck in addition to good play. A shot from the point that deflects off one or more bodies may be nobody's fault but the gods'. That's why those shots from the perimeter through traffic can be so nerve-wracking even when the boys are playing well. In a game where 2 goals can win the game, there's a shytpot full of chance in the hockey NCAAs. Playing well is necessary but it is not always sufficient.

I just hope and pray that these young men feel a sense of fulfillment and inner peace, whatever the outcome,

UND is playing to escape gf's wrath, which is also scary.

He always did have some shifty moves
