I definitely wouldn't worry about Rocco being on the score sheet. It is easy to have higher expectations of him, even though he is a Freshman, because we were exposed to his name so much from his red shirt year. This guy could potentially be around for another 3 years, I am sure he will do amazing thing, so long as he sticks around.

Love the Sioux, but St Cloud, won the WCHA and beat the hell out of Notre Dame ... they deserve to keep playing. Sioux beat themselves with poor D and missed opportunities today. As for Hakstol, his number speak for themselves. I would be thrilled if this guys recruits and coaches for UND for another 15-20 years. Fan have been pampered by this guy, and don't realize how bad it could be with anyone else. We have been lucky enough to watch post season hockey for the last 9 years. 5 Frozen Fours, One title game. I'll take it, the championship will come...

Great post. Hak is a great coach, and if he had got that title his first year, people wouldn't be complaining as much. His numbers as a coach are ridiculous. This loss is on the players for collapsing with 7 min. left.

I maintain that Mattson should get his scholarship pulled after that game, and thank god Gleason is gone after this weekend, he has been absolute crap

No excuses for today, but I would call shuffling the line yesterday for a comeback win in the 3rd period making adjustments. Too bad he didn't do the same thing today with the defensive pairings. He needed to split up Mattson and Gleason

One of the first time I agree that Hak didn't step up. He needed to split up Mattson and Gleason at the very least. God awful defensive pairing all weekend. Mattson looked like a clown out there (with the exception of one play, where he made up for his initial screw up). And for as good of a career as Gleason has had, he was a complete joke this weekend.

Great save by Saunders there!

Wow, kind of an A hole comment. Yeah that is what I had hear from my buddies who are gopher fans, and often bias. It was a question, just leave it at that. I'm pretty sure I know when the hell the Sioux play. I started the thread this morning. I'm all for some ribbing about a Gopher thread, but don't be a jerk. Go Sioux, this goal should stand based on the on ice call!

I am going to venture a guess ... UND fans waiting for this game to end is the most viewers Lacrosse has had on TV ever ... your welcome Lacrosse

Oh no Virginia is starting to make a comeback ...

Ha! It ruined half of my hockey pool, half of us had the Sioux winning it all and half of us had the Goofers winning it all, except the lone Wisconsin alum, who took his badgers, haha

Maryland is winning right now, Go Maryland! If Virginia comes back then Go Virginia! JUST DON"T TIE

Well I will be watching my 7 month old daughter during the game. So I'll be serving pureed squash and oatmeal; makes Chilli sound amazing

Thanks for the info. I don't usually follow recruiting too closely, but recently heard about some of these guys. Of course it was from a Goofer fan, so they were explained as incoming Gods (rather than Freshman). Just wondering how good they are actually supposed to be.

Well apparently this was a lost cause. I though people on here actually like to talk college hockey.

Ha, I've never seen that one before. Thats great!

Yeah, well living in Mpls, I am forced to endure the gophers more than Kato, DU or BC. Don't hate on a guy for asking

True, some ribbing was expected. I didn't want to go to GPL because obviously most of the fans would just say its the best incoming class ever and they'll win it all next year. Typical bias fans, but some of these guys to sound impressive and have put up some really good numbers, so I am wondering if they will all actually show up on campus or if some of them will bolt after the draft.

If you don't care, skip over the thread

Clearly I'm getting some of the obnoxious readers on this thread. I'm asking if any has heard anything on these recruits, I'm wondering if they are as good as they have been hyped up to be. Clearly, I'm a big time Sioux fan, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in college hockey as a whole. Do you really think there weren't any gopher fans that were curious about Oshie and Toews when they were recruited to UND?

They'll still be a powerful team in the ranking, and we can always play them in the tourney. Besides UND may be my team, but I like college hockey as a whole. I may not like Haula as a Gopher but he is still a solid player. If he can be effective in a Wild jersey, I'll definitely be cheering for him. Good recruits to any NCAA team over a Major Junior team is good for college hockey.

Well, we won't be seeing any of these guys in the regular season, but obviously the NCAA enjoys putting the Gopher and the Sioux in the same region in the tourney, whenever possible. So we still may see some of these guys. From what I have heard, the U is pulling in possibly its most potent recruiting class ever, which is certainly saying something for a team with their history. Has anyone heard much about these guys? This is what I have gathered so far: Cammarata might be one of their best recruits since Vanek. Kloos sounds like he could rack up a TON of points. Geurtler sounds comparable to Rau Fasching sounds comparable to Coyle Brodzinski lead USHL D in points as a first year USHL player Sounds like a very deep class, at least on paper. Anyone hear anything else about these guys?

I didn't think there was any way that Yale would beat UND a few years back either, but all it takes is a poor showing by one team, or a hot goalie to change everything. Anything is possible in this tourney, which is why the Sioux better be ready for Niagara. Niagara would love to pull the huge upset; as would Yale.
