Love Mattson on the offensive side of the ice but he's still making a few d zone plays a game that make me cringe. Last night one in particular was passing a puck directly to a CC player. CC player proceeds to blow by him creating a 2 on 1. Ladue slides in at the last second to break it up with a great play.

Identical to his goal vs niagara

Need to clear the paint out, Zane's not seeing these pucks

I think it'd just trying to find some chemistry. There wasn't a lot last night, we actually played pretty crappy. Both goals were 100% individual efforts.

Haha sorry

I just saw the highlights but wow I was impressed by the Mavs. Those are not the same Mavs I remember from the fWCHA.

I got 5-1 Sioux, Caggiula scores twice

Thanks for the link Goon. I love listening to Holdens goal calls, so much excitement.

Me too, I think Nick needs something to jumpstart him after a quiet Niagara series. I hope this does the trick.

I hope you know what you're doing starting this game thread... it's a heavy burden to carry

Not every UND fan lives in GF however a large portion who actively follow the team do. This means a potential connecting flight for which we're talking $300-400 on top of the trip. I consider myself a die-hard fan who would love to go to a Frozen Four to watch my team but I'd be lying if that amount didn't make me hesitate. Also, UofMN enrollment is 48,000 this year, UND is 15,000. That's 3x the amount of "fans" graduating every single year that could very likely end up on the east coast within driving distance or a cheap flight to Philly and throw on a maroon and gold because their alma mater is in the Frozen Four. I'm one to believe UND fans are more passionate than any other team's in the country but it boils down to a numbers game with population of the TC metro and enrollment numbers when you're talking about amount of fans. However, I do believe that 1 Sioux fan= about 4 Gopher fans, we just shoot for quality

Just a shot in the dark here, but I'd guess there are exactly 0 flights directly from GFK to PHI. Also, I'd like to know what sort of article or reference Marriuci is using when he says there were more Gopher fans. I would agree that there are more "Gopher fans" in the world than "UND fans" however after living in the TC area and GF area for decent amounts of time, I've come to learn there are quite drastic degrees of what constitues a "fan".

They have pro sports teams in Minneapolis?! It's tough to tell lately... and of course by lately I mean in the last 20 years.

I couldn't help myself

Are you sure there was? I didn't hear any ...

Probably Nigeria, I can't imagine making ice is easy when it's that hot.

Fargo for regionals, Boston at the Frozen Four

Honestly, if they play the way they are playing right now I'd prefer to play UMN in Fargo vs. Boston in front of a pre-dominantly green crowd. Then again, if they continue playing the way they are now, the rodents will be sitting at home watching on TV.

Yea it does, why does he even bring up age? In Lucia's mind, the older you are the better you are I guess...or at least he likes to keep that excuse handy. The funny thing is Lucia probably passed on some of these guys.

If all 3 are healthy for the stretch run and we have no other setbacks, I like our chances

You sure hang around those classless fans' message board a lot though, don't ya?

Should probably take about a 4-5 year break from it

Good point

I believe Nelson played on the 4th line his Freshman year. Then of course, we had the 2010-2011 team that year which was stacked from top to bottom.

Forget your 1st rounders, I'll take as many 36g-24a(Frattin) and 60% faceoff percentage(Knight) guys on our team as we can get!
