  1. So I am by far not an expert on hockey so could someone please tell me what is wrong with our PP? It was so frustrating to watch tonight that I just about puked. I feel like they don't get the chances they should on the PP. Is it the passing or what is our main issue on the man advantage?

  2. Sorry if anyone has already answered this but would I be able to watch the game tomorrow in colorado at a bar possibly? And what service and channel would they need to have? Thanks for any help!

  3. :glare:

    He (she) has every right to feel the way they do. Just because someone doesn't think they're going to win the National Championship every year doesn't mean they aren't a good fan. The team has been good lately, but so have the last 3-4 teams in the 2nd half. It's about winning titles. The 1997 team is the exception, not the rule.

    Do people who don't think their team is going to win care less, or don't cheer as hard? No. Do they want the team to fail? Absolutely not.

    The last few years the team has been one of the favorites each year due to their hot streak...and not one of them pulled it off. Maybe comments like this are what the team needs to bring home the chunk of wood the NC$$ gives out in April.

    I couldn't agree more that this team was an exception, but I'm holding out for another one of those... that's what gets me most excited as a fan. I believe our team can beat any team in the nation on any given night and I think Hak and every player on that team would agree. I know that it is possible and has been done before so why not this year? I guess I'm more of an optimist than a realist when it comes to my hockey team and that's the difference in our viewpoints.

  4. I'm not buying any of it. People on this board have said the same thing about the last two teams to go into the playoffs and they flopped when it came to the FF. I hope they go far, but I won't be surprised if they don't. My expectations are low for this team, largely due to the last few years. I hope they surprise me.

    I'm glad our team doesn't have this attitude going into games. With this attitude we wouldn't have won the championship in '97. But i guess giving up on our team before the games are even played is a good attitude... I believe that's called a fair weather fan or in my book not a fan at all. I might understand if we were Colorado College fans and hadn't won since '57 but even they have a better attitude. I agree we might not be favored going into the NCAA's, but come on! it's not like we're the 1980 Olympic Team going up against the Russians.

  5. From here on out

    Now don't take this as all negative - I think this is one of the best Teams I have seen

    The 4 lines can all get it (er) done

    & Eidness has been Awesome

    The biggest thing is the PP - Imagine if the % went up (even just a little)

    & after getting the lead (by 1 goal) in the 3rd - not going into defensive mode (Play our game) & get that Killer instinct - Finish em off by scoring another one or two etc.

    I know that trap / crap works for some teams - but it is just not us - play all our lines - so we have that extra energy at the end - now that CC is gone - I don't think any other team can match the depth of our lines

    PS....Vandy seems to really come alive at the F5

    There are guys on this Team who can be & were big time offensive threats & they should not hold back & expect a few of our top guys to do it all (Like I think was the case in the recent past)

    I couldn't agree more on this point. We need to keep on the offensive like we did against Minnesota and Friday's game against Denver.

  6. I'm pretty sure those are the same whiners that call for Hak's head every fall. :sad:

    I wouldn't include those in the fanbase... more like bandwagon jumpers. True fans don't jump on and off at the most opportune times. And you think even they would know the 2nd half run is coming by the fifth year.

  7. I never said it did. I was just pointing out that it was a big win. And I give zero credibility to someone who puts them in the same sentence as Brown.

    I'd like to be the guy who you are putting that money down with. Maybe there is some lucky college hockey bookie out there that you could donate to.

    SCSU will think about coming to play, and then come out and realize that they are scared of the mighty Gophers and Mariucci. Like I've said countless number of times, we have their number. This is basically their National Championship...which is the only reason they have any type of chance

    GOPHER SWEEP with Kangas allowing no more than 5 goals in 2 games. He is BACK.

    Haha, he's back? I hope so because 6 goals against MTech is quite a low. Actually, I think that's rock bottom.

  8. More often than not, we get screwed when it comes to the WCHA end-of-the-year awards. Didn't Oshie get shoved onto the 2nd or 3rd team a couple of years ago? :D:silly:

    I care way more about team championships and accomplishments than all this individual stuff. And I think every player in that locker room would tell you the same thing. I'll bet Duncan would trade that Hobey in 2007 for a National Championship in a heartbeat.

    I guarantee he would!

  9. I definitely prefer the seats i usually sit in. couple rows above the zamboni entrance and right behind the net the sioux shoot at twice. feels like i know when the goal is scored before most people do. but also in the last row up in the corner of the lower bowl the sioux shoot on twice. get to see the play develop better just not as much action, especially when the sioux score 12 on the weekend against the minnesota chokers.

  10. Thank you to the St. Cloud announcer who pointed out that Florida State also has a Native American mascot without having a lawsuit brought against them for it... because they are Florida State. All this Political Correctness is ridiculous.
