What did they have to say today?

Check your Personal Messages, pathfinder.

Goon...you were on the hoppah? The hoppah! Yea! The hoppah!

Courtesy of Dances with Gophers over at GPL...enjoy!

And to think farce poobah almost ruined it... Just kidding, fb...some really great stories on this thread.

Somebody get pathfinder to a viewing party in his neck of the woods in CO or invite him over to your house next Thursday...PRONTO!

I love how Gopher fans always get riled up over that game and how the Sioux fans were all cheering for Holy Cross. Had that game been in Minneapolis and HC pulled off the upset over UND, they would have blown the roof off of Mariucci Arena.

North Dakota is overdue in the "catching a break" department...LOOONNNNNNG overdue.

I don't think it's the curse of the Brien logo. It's the curse of the banners in REA all being made to have the Brien logo on them...even though the Brien logo didn't exist for ANY of those championships! Banners should be era specific! End rant.

2 saves, 3 goals allowed in the first. Ouch. The Sioux answered with 2 of their own in the 2nd and you thought they might have a shot going into the third...until BC scores twice in the last 5:00 of the period to make it a three-goal lead again. Groan... I watched that one from a bar in San Diego, CA...what a bummer.

Yea some pretty amusing stuff on there, isn't there?

I was sitting at Joe Sensor's on a rainy afternoon all by myself watching that one because my buddies were late in meeting me there. They walked in and saw the score was 4-0...and promptly told me "see ya later."

2006: 6-5 2007: 6-4 I don't know if I'd call those "beat-downs"...2008, 6-1, most definitely. 2005 was a regional beat-down on the flip-side - UND over BC. A 3-0 lead after 1, a 4-0 lead in the 2nd before BC finally scored, then a 6-2 lead before BC scored late in the 3rd to make the final 6-3. That game was never in doubt.

How about some of BC's recent losses in games they're "supposed to" win? 2006: Loss to Wisconsin in Milwaukee, 2-1. Anyplace else and that game is a blow-out in favor of BC. 2007: Loss to Michigan State in St Louis 3-1. Blew a lead late in regulation, then blew a tie in regulation with seconds left. 2009: No tournament 2011: blow-out Loss to CC in first round 2013: blow-out Loss to Union in first round No such thing as "Puck luck," you say? 2008: 4-3 OT win over Miami...then a 4-1 win over a Notre Dame team that had upset Michigan in the semi-finals 2010: No upsets or any puck luck here...BC domination over Miami and Wisconsin. 2012: Semi-final win over Minnesota, then a win over Ferris State in the title game. Ferris State had upset Union in the semi-final. I'm not disparaging BC in any way, shape, or form or trying to casually dismiss their three recent titles as luck, but BC has had its share of good fortune in addition to hearbreaking losses in the NCAA tournament. Speaking of great tournaments, Hakstol should show the Michigan State semi-final and championship games to the boys before next Thursday.

Somebody beat me to it, but what an absolutely FABULOUS first post. I hope Wilbur doesn't read this or he might start crying. Seriously, it's awesome to know some of the stories behind the monikers on the board here and find out that not everyone on the board is a 2012 graduate. This one will be tough to beat, pathfinder. Keep the stories comin', folks, this one was a dandy.

Which agreement?

Score the first goal against Minnesota and watch those Gopher hands clench those sticks tight, boys. Make it 2-0 and you'll help Jupiter shut down GPL for a couple of days following a semi-final loss.

I think he's referring to the lower bowl of the X, meaning fans, not the locker room. A little early to be checking in on SiouxSports.com today, isn't it? Shouldn't you be over on GPL checking out the latest witty comment in the "You might be a Sioux fan if..." thread?

They have a 9-3 non-conference record counting the conference playoffs? LOL. C'mon, Goon. Let's call it what it is: A 6-2 record in non-conference play.

Rewind the 2001 video from the NCAA championship game...no bigger goon on the ice in that game.

FYP.

Nice to see RED back on the Red Sox road uniforms instead of blue.

Until that freshie blue-chippah gives up a couple of early ones against Union...the Dutchmen in an upset! Wicked pissah!

Ian Kinsler with a game-winning walk-off hit in game #2 of the season...I'm liking the Prince Fielder trade already!
