Thanks for the accusation but I was in Buffalo without internet access. Glad you conisder me to be one of at least three negative posters on this board. I don't stoop to that level, and if you knew me in person you'd know that. I don't know who the person behind that new moniker is, but when I first read the post, the spelling/grammar/capitalization/punctuation sort of tipped me off to who it *might* be.

Not sure if you're a baseball fan but St. Louis is the best baseball city in the USA. I hate the Cardinals, but I went down there two years ago for a Twins game and that city LOVES their baseball and especially their Cardinals. And they have professional sports teams in the only three sports that matter, all of those teams being perennial playoff competitors. And the Arch is just plain awesome!

Greyeagle, I think that may be a mistake. WPoS actually wants opposing fans to come on POI and stir things up. He may deny it, but anytime you see a thread on POI about another team choking (e.g. "0-fer RATED!") or trying to get a reaction from opposing fans (e.g. "Where have all the Opponents gone?") you know that WPoS started that thread. So he posts on POI in a way that promotes opposing fans getting riled up. I hope he posts here differently than how he posts on POI.

hmmmmm.....

Gophers 4, New Hampshire 3...overtime goal scored by Grant Potulny. I'm not trying to be totally ironic here, because I think it just might happen. Now if money was on the line, then I'd say New Hampshire 4, Gophers 3...anytime I place money on my own team they lose, so this would be my "If I were a betting man..." pick

flatspin7s got it right

Where have I shown any disrespect? Just because I'm not brainwashed into thinking that the Sioux having 7 banners means they are the best hockey team in the Nation--even if they barely muster a top-5 finish in the conference--doesn't mena I'm being disrespectful. And Greyeagle isn't respectful, he's a cowardly suck-up who tries to make everyone happy. Choose a side, GE!!

By 2010 the University of Minnesota will have at least as many banners as UND. Mark my words.

I am cheering for the Sioux today. I don't like UND during the season, and obviously I'll cheer against you tomorrow after you beat Ferris State, but I always cheer for WCHA teams (except Wisconsin and SCSU...just can't do that). Plus I think a UND-Gophers matchup Saturday would be a lot more exciting, intense, climatic, etc etc etc...than a Ferris State-Gophers matchup. Go Sioux! GO GOPHERS!!!

I'll be there in my Ballard jersey Friday and a Crowley/Bonin-era blank jersey Saturday...section 15 or 16.

We have a lot more than two chants. You just hear the "M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A...." and "Always were!!" chants the most because we're always scoring goals and successfully killing off penalties.

skateshattrick- first of all, us Gopher fans do not claim Sid Hartman. We cannot stand the guy. He knows NOTHING about college hockey. Two weeks ago he wrote something to the effect of "the Gophers may end up playing the NCAA Regionals at Mariucci Arena." NO CRAP, we are the host school!!! He's an old moron who knows s*** about hockey but just tries to cover all the sports. Please do not associate him in any way with Gopher hockey. Secondly...what is Midwest Sports Channel? It's been Fox Sports Net for a couple years now

I still am awestruck every time I skate at Mariucci, and I've skated there 8 times now. I'm anxious to see the new REA...but first we all gotta get tickets. Bertibm isn't having much luck with your ticket office...any chance you guys know how to get a group of tickets for when the Gophers are in town?

Some tempters flared. Unfortunately the PrideOnIcer's had less self-control than the SiouxSports...ers. Oh well, I think once the dUst settles (if it hasn't already) everyone will look back and say it was a good time. Maybe I'm just overreacting to what went on, but I thought some of our players put themselves above the game of hockey.

Would you like some cheese with that whine? Geez...
