Agreed, at least there is a run threat

So close to getting it back there

Maybe that's why they were passing. just ugly.

Thought the same thing

Kind of like the hockey team last night anytime there was a 1 goal lead.

I'd like to see us up by 10 going into halftime. then get the ball to start the 3rd.

Rudolph is getting too cute with a few of these calls.

This

Remember when Taubs was good?

Really nice drive. time for the D to make some adjustments

Lol you want tI put that on Cam? you're a moron. Defense buddy! who let them get the shot off?

Wrong, D cannot play like this. gotta clear the zone. giving them WAY to many opportunities.

Credit where credit is due. the announcers are HOF quality compared to the Duluth color guy.

It is afternoons like this (Sioux vs. UofM, Day of the NCAA Regional) that my employer must feel really lucky to have me.

Lets end the Gopher/Sioux, who's better debate right here and now. Sioux play in REA .... REA serves beer. Gophers play in Mariucci .... Mariucci serve pop. BOX!

bahahaha

I would agree overall, there is a passionate group of hockey fans, but as a whole, you just need to look to which game attracts more people. Its actually really sad to see what has happened to the hockey fans. When I was growing up, we had Gopher season tickets, and the place was always packed. Went to a game last year against Mankato and it was half empty. I expect this weekend to be almost split between UND and UofM fans. Its not like MN is bottom feeds. We could argue all day about the strength of the Big 10 and the conference BS, BUT the bottom line is they have been competitive in their conference. They're not the perennial top 5 team that they were for several years, but it still surprises me that they can't get their attendance back up. Now, as for fans being "full of themselves", OF COURSE THEY ARE. This is a forum of fans, coming off of a national championship season that we had been waiting for for years! I think you'll get plenty of reasonable folks here, but of course you'll get some extremists. If you don't like that, then don't come on here. Also a little newsflash, we had to hear pretty much the same kind of stuff out of many Gopher fans for years too ......Every fan base has people who are a little over the top.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that IF UND can scoop up the first game, they'll have about a 50% chance of sweeping on Saturday.

Any reason you can't just show up and talk hockey? Really? I mean, there are plenty of things to sling mud about regarding both Grand Forks and Minneapolis. And haven't we all heard enough bickering considering its election season? Sports is a reason to get away from that garbage, so let just stick to sports. C'mon Man!

damn, we don't want to be bullies. If things get too heated, maybe the captains can meet at center ice, drop gloves, throw helmets and have a compliment match? Then the goalies can hug, we'll trade goals until we're at a satisfactory tie score (enough goals that teams feel good about their offense, but not too many to crush the defensive spirits), a few pats on the back and we can stop the game for treat time. honestly, that big hitting, drop the glove mentality went out the door several years back now. I'd be shocked to see something like that happen, unless the cheap shots start flying and the refs don't control it. I don't even think we have a personality on the team that would look for that (a la Prpich, Hextall, Radke, Blood, Lamoreux, etc.)

Also not too disappointing because it means he should be able to heal up, and hopefully be effective, in time for the actual playoffs. I was definitely worried that the injury could have been bad enough to prevent him from seeing the field again this season. I understand, and agree with the playoff mentality starting now. But I definitely don't want to rush a kid out there to where he will re-aggravate and injury to the point of him being done for the season either. I'll trust Bubba and Crew on this one. Bartels and Heidelbaugh need to be smart and play careful with the ball. Don't need to win us the game, but can't lose it either.

Funny, I remember that. I was playing in the band that day as well.

We had some really good games against St. Cloud. I remember being in St Cloud to see a really close one. I want to say we won on a GF, possible in OT. That may have been a playoff game too. I remember they had a stud RB at the time. This was probably '04ish.

Off chance UND gets down by a few goals, can we say F it, go old school and drop some gloves?
