I don't think Bickel or any other college player is woried about Finley. I guess I've never seen Finley in a real college hockey fight. I've just seen him push and shove and pull on jerseys. Maybe I missed one that I don't know about?

Thanks

Does anybody know what time the NCAA selection show is? Is it on ESPN or ESPN 2?

bicker, bicker, bicker!

Big Deal! No harm done.

I was just gonna post that pic here after I saw it on GPL. You beat me to it. Funny!

I wasn't commenting on your original point about hearing those comments about lucia for the first time. I was just stating my opinion about UND being such a factory for developing NHL players. It doesn't matter to the top talented players. It does to the player who needs to stay for 4 years in college and then hopefully make the NHL. As for English 101, I don't think I need to worry about that. Try to simmer down please. It is o.k. to disagree on things on a message board is't it?

Do you actually think it matters to a top talented player like toews or okposo which school they go to. Of course they will pick one of the top programs in the country. Toews would be in the NHL right now with or without UND. BOTTOM LINE!

Doesn't get any better than this! Two former gophers going head to head.

One thing I noticed about lee is that his helmet always looks like it isn't pushed down all the way. (just joking) Other than that, I think he will be really improved for his junior and senior seasons if he stays. Any time a team can get a player to stay for his junior and senior seasons it is really valuable. Nothing beats experience and being an upper classmen. We at GPL were not happy with chucko at times and he ended up leaving after his 2nd year. I don't know if he was unhappy or calgary just wanted him in the pro game. Lee has been to two frozen fours, and that experience can't be replaced with a freshmen. I would want him to stay if I were you guys.

If we were outplayed so bad, why did it take UND 10 minutes into the o.t. to win the game. Looks like two equal teams to me. MN isn't the only team that needed to do some soul searching. I recall that UND needed alot of soul searching in the first half of the year. Just be happy your team is in the frozen four.

Before the Final Five championship game, we all knew that UND and MN would probably meet in the regional. As a gopher fan, winning the Final Five was great. But I truly believed before the game last week, the team that lost the Final Five would win in the regional. Tough to beat a great team two weeks in a row in a playoff atmosphere. I'm proad of my team with the season they had, and congratulations UND.

I think woog had a little to drink during the game. Great game analysis, but alot of slurred words.

After Wheeler scored his goal saturday night, I was thinking something along the same lines. Lammy, Where's that glove flashing now? But we shouldn't be making a big deal of this stuff. Players from all teams do this stuff like jersey popping, or glove flashing. Like others have said in this thread, we're not on the ice hearing all the "trash talking", so when you score or make a big save, it could be natural to showboat a little just to give it back. We just don't want this stuff to get too carried away.

St. cloud has the easiest bracket for sure of the 3 wcha teams. What's with hockey east getting 5 teams in and us getting three? I agree the winner of the west will win it all.

It won't be my last post here, but I won't be back for a while until things cool down. I can't believe how crazy some people can get.

I'm just commenting on the negativity I read on this board. If my team loses or goes through a mid season slump, I don't point fingers to other teams or their fans. It probably came down to how my team played out on the ice. Now last nights game was a hard fought close contest. End of story.

Like others have said, the FF has to be held somewhere. Playing at the X has not been an advantage for the gophers. Before this weekend, they lost 5 straight games there. Just like playing at the ralph for you guys this year hasn't been an advantage to UND. Maybe you should go back to Minot, Dickinson or maybe even Neche!

Quit whining!

This game will go down as a classic in WCHA history. Great effort by both teams. If they do put MN and UND in the same region it will be too bad, because I think both teams are one of the top 4 in the country.

The gophers are starting Frazee. That wouldn't be my choice if I was the coach!

Some of you guys look into to this way too much. I agree that it is just physiological talk. He's probably just repeating what the media has been saying about the sioux the last few weeks that they are un-stopable right now
