Godsmack

In 2012, I had the “pleasure” of sitting behind a Gopher fan at Mariucci who spent the entire game standing up, turning around, and yelling in my face whenever the Gophers scored as well as at the end of the game (a 5-1 drubbing of UND). I hadn’t said sh*t the entire game, I didn’t yell, “SIOUX!” at the end of the anthem, nothing. The guy even got lectured by my girlfriend at the time and others who were decked out in Gopher gear because he was embarrassing himself. I knew, sitting in my girlfriend’s mother’s seats deep in the middle of Gopher season ticket holders in the lower bowl, center ice, to just clap when they announced the UND lineup and cheer when we scored our lone goal. Does this mean EVERY Gopher fan is an obnoxious ass like the guy who kept antagonizing me? No. In fact, our seats for the game the next night were in a different section and we sat next to two very nice, welcoming Gopher fans who were awesome. I’m a season ticket holder for CC and have observed bad behavior by Tigers fans as well so it’s not fair to characterize one fan base or the other as “bad.” The difference is, with UND, we travel in large numbers so we tend to all get pigeonholed as a group whenever an opposing fan experiences problems with one or a handful of a-Hole UND fans. You rarely hear Gopher or other fan bases stereotype a fan base like CC’s as good, bad or otherwise because we just don’t travel in huge numbers. Point being, I think it’s unfair to lump all of us UND fans as bad sports when, in fact, it’s the opposite.

http://m.startribune.com/north-dakota-hockey-fans-greatly-outnumber-those-of-gophers-in-las-vegas/498757481/ I certainly hope UND fans didn’t spit or throw beers on these folks like they claim. I don’t recall hearing about this happening last season during the UND/Gopher series. If it did, I’d hope they’d have reported it.

What about Danny Maddox (aka, Godsmack)? Oh wait, he was there, filling water bottles and chasing down pucks after warm ups.

Awesome list!

Agreed. A lot of folks were all over Kawaguchi last year but he really seemed to find his footing as the second half of last season progressed. I bet he’s going to really develop into a great player for North Dakota.

Who were the healthy scratches?

If you don’t mind a 45 minute wait, the Hash House A Go Go is a great place for breakfast. The place is super crowded and noisy but apparently for good reason. The food is really good!

There are a couple of Top Golfs in Denver as well for those of you planning on coming out for the UND/DU series.

Anyone know what section the UND hockey teamnis sitting in at the Vegas/Tampa game today?

Too bad CBS Sports isn’t airing tomorrow’s game...we keep hearing about exposure of college hockey and to have gotten it at a national level would have been really great.

Yah, that’s pretty lame. I was more interested in Mafia’s take on the article but for sure, they should’ve included some better pics.

@MafiaMan, your thoughts??? https://www.uscho.com/2018/10/24/canisius-new-uniform-scheme-means-people-will-talk-about-what-were-wearing/?fbclid=IwAR19Blecv2A2GxUiub11u5jnLnTofMI210nLOlIMiGPsGGn0v4ZYJWDfijM

There’s a funny video out on YouTube of an interview with Senden from the Minnesota State high school hockey tournament where he says, “and everything like that” about a dozen times.

What’s the story with Senden? Was itnhim who was asked to come in at the last minute due to another commit falling through?

As a season ticket holder since Haviland took over, it’s been rough. I want to say two seasons ago, we only won 1 game at home. We’re seeing the results of improved recruiting now. Question is, can CC not only hang with but beat the elite programs? We will get our chance in two weeks. So far, we haven’t exactly played world beaters (Anchorage, Huntsville, Air Force, and New Hampshire) but at least CC is taking care of business against the teams they should be beating.

He didn’t get a star. The MTN line (Mason Bergh, Trey Bradley, and Nick Halloran) got all three stars. In fact, he looked pretty pedestrian tonight. He took a lazy penalty in the first and that’s about all he did for the evening.

We hung on and won, 4-3 over New Hampshire! It wasn’t pretty but we played well defensively. We (CC) are now 4-1-1. Week off to prepare for our two week gauntlet against St. Cloud and then we travel to Duluth the week after that.

Is this sh*t on the coaching or on the players? My god.

Yep. 4-2, CC but they went into their typical second period swoon. Getting outplayed.

Sorry! But thanks again, I can now listen to the UND game!

Thanks sir! Got my phone sticking out of my ear listening now while at the Tigers game!

Anyone know what channel on the radio the hockey game is on?

What radio station is the hockey game on? It’s not on The Fox.

They look like Merrimack’s road uni’s.

My question to @MafiaMan is, what are your thoughts of those ‘Kato uni’s?
