  1. Great job UND . You really put a butt kicking on us last night . I feel bad but its like getting beat up by your big brother ya get a bloody nose ya pick yourself up dust yourself off and say maybe next time. It looks like the final should be a great game good luck from this Gopher fan
  2. Nice job this weekend UND. It was great seeing Jack Paaaka and Jerry Yaawk both looking like they just ate a turd. Id say all of our teams did the WCHA proud. UND is red hot coming in right now and id pick them as favorites. Of course im hoping otherwise but nice job this weekend.
  3. I did explain it was sort of like soccer/football on ice.It was something ill never forget. My wife thought i was crazy and it took me awhile but i found the game. It seems to me UND beat BC that game 4-2?
  4. I agree and im whizzed the NHL didnt do right by thier fans and settle up.At least ill be in Vegas the night of the NCAA final. Hey that might work in UNDs favor last time i was out of town for a NCAA final it was 2000l i was in Mexico it was sureal i payed this barkeep to keep searching for it and finally he found the game it was funny me and my son and 10 mexican guys standing behind us scratching thier heads asking whats a SOOOO?
  5. The WCHA is a much more physical league and it has proven to be a problem in the past in the NCAAs especailly when we get ECAC refs.I get a kick out of all these people not trusting the Gophers i cant remember a year where i felt less confident in my team going in to the NCAAs .
  6. A terrible place to have a tourney.I question having it in Columbus this year. I wonder how a WCHA final five in say Chicago or Denver or maybe st Louis would do . I would go but im a core fan.
  7. and thats the whole point of putting them in that region. Do you think that the Ralph will be full next year if UND isnt in it? Lets just say its Denver with a bunch of teams from out east do think it will be packed house? Its easy to say it will but you never know.Mpls has alot of grads from WCHA schools in and around the area.
  8. Its happened a few times i remember Sconny doing it to us in 1981 after being upset by CC in the WCHA playoffs. Instead of a final five post season tourney maybe they should make it a preseason tourney. let all of the other teams pound on each other and all of the WCHA teams could stay home get healthy. I shouldnt complain to much the WCHA dominates alot in college hockey, there is a reason it seems to be a wcha team winning it alot more than not in the finals. We beat each other up and then go beat everybody else up, so i guess its a perfectly flawed system
  9. Seems to me we did pretty well without the Gophers in a few years ago at Marriucci.having the final on easter sunday is pretty stupid IMO .
  10. You are correct. My point is that it was a bit of a shaft to the Gophers that year. I think the third place game should be dropped only becasue it doesnt seem to really have any impact on the seedings.The only goal of the final 5 is to make money. have it at the Ralph every year and charge more money for the tickets. I could care less Then we can continually whine about home ice advantage for the Sioux. It seems like you are almost safer not playing in the final five.The NCAAs are all about who can win 4 games in a row.Right now i dont like Minnesotas chances
  11. I know what you are saying and i agree. The Gophers record is 6-2 for thier last 8 which is misleading also. The bottem line we dont deserve a number 1 seed but it really doesnt matter being they host it anyway . UND could very well have the same problem next year. We got a break i can go back to 97 and remember when they tied UND for the regular season and lost the final five in OT and were rewarded with Mich at Yost while CC played the little sisters of the poor out east and made it in to the frozen four. So it goes both ways
  12. Maine is has lost what maybe 3 in thier last 18 games they have played a very good BC team 3 time in the last 2 weks and lost 2 close games and tied them.Maine is the toughest 4 seed . They very well could win our region especailly considering the plane crash the Gophers have morphed into. I think you need to reread my post.
  13. This is one of those rare instances where the old method of choosing seeds for the NCAA might have been better. Do the Gophers deserve a number 1 seed? I dont think so as it is we were rewarded with a tough first game and will probably be one and done. But who knows they are kids.I think UND has a very good chance in thier regional they have always played the Boston teams tough.
