Me too.

Wasn't Dean also mad about the current leadership at the REA at the time that he left UND? I am not sure but I remember there being a few things that weighed on him that he decided to leave UND. I think his wife being sick was one of the reason. There may have been some thing with the AD's office maybe?

Yet you still read it.

You know what? Go away skippy, If I want to comment on something the Gophers do I will do it, this is Sioux hockey web page. I don't remember when signing up that one HAS TO GIVE THE GOLDEN RODENTS PROPS.

Hey Skippy where did I say that I had a problem with Minnesota Kids?

Your the one that is an embarrassment with your silly assertions about there being no room for fighting in hockey and on and on. Buckysieve is a Gopher troll and you're a gopher fan posing as a Sioux fan.

Give me a break or do you want a shovel?

Good pick up but did the Sioux even have room for this guy?

I googled those words and Hakstol was coach when Bunning was the in coming AD.

There have been rumors in the past the Gopher coaches are strongly encouraged to recruit Minnesota players and don't want to have a lot of Candian on their team.

Fixed your post.

Skippy, I do not have an inferiority complex. Second I could give three $#!ts about your team, but I have brough up some instances of silliness from your coach and from the blogger in MPLS that writes for the RED STAR and SICKLE in fact I am satisfied with the job your coach is doing down in Gooferville. I just think it is funny sparing with the Gophers fans that think their coach is above criticism. Third if you call finishing the season 7th place in the WCHA acceptable that is pretty sad in my opinion. I wouldn't call this season that successful either especially if you miss the WCHA Final Five and the NCAA West Regional. oh yeah this one is for you Skippy sieve: 7 > 5

Actually UMD is probably going to be one of the better teams in the WCHA next season. I expect them to make a lot of noise this year in the WCHA playoffs as well. Mike Conolly is one of the better rookies in the league. Also, UND fans haven't gotten to see UMD play a lot this season because of the lack of decent TV coverage. But from what I have seen so far this season I have been impressed with the UMD Bulldogs. I think of all the teams that played UMD this season they played the Sioux the toughest. Hats off to SANDY. Oh yeah and I expect the Goofs to be swept by the Bulldogs this weekend. I have a beer riding on it.

Do you see me giving them props? The only goofs players I give props to are Boston Bruins.

YEP...

Skippy, Skippy, Skippy, you are the king of the straw man's argument. Last time I checked this is a Fighting Sioux message board, it is not a Gophers message board, I don't have to be objective. If you want to have a Gopher love feast go back to GPL, I am sure you can find enough people that want to talk about the brown and yellow rodents. I am not going to give the goofs any props, never. I have listened to your fans, media, newspaper writers, bloggers and stupid television announcers rub the oppositions noses in the stench that is the Minnesota Gophers. I could give a rats butt what your horrible team is doing down in MPLS, in fact I am enjoying your season quite well thankyou. The fact remains is Lucia is at the helm for three sub par years, and in those three season there has been a serious gopher meltdown. I love watching all the so called experts spin and pontificate on the reason the Gophers are getting their butts kick up and down the ice. Based on all the talent that the Goofs have on their roster it's mind boggling to see any reason why this should happen. Hum, guess where the finger is pointiing? The coach.

They would love seeing a roster made up of half Candians. I want tickets to watch that.

Not for a first round draft choice he was not. Typical Goofs fan.

That could be a good sign.

It was one of my brothers workers but I am going to take some merit to what this ex-player had to say. I am also going to pose this question; If Lucia is a such a good coach why wasn't he able to get more out of a player like Blake Wheeler who is a legit ROY candidate in the NHL? It appears that some of his ex-players have blossomed in the NHL in spite of him.

My Brother worked with a guy in MPLS that played for Lucia @ C.C. and said Lucia can recruit great players but he isn't a very good coach. Also, does anyone find it ironic that Lucia get rid of MG and they don't retain their goalie coach Stauber and they are having problem with defense and goaltending? Just saying. I have no dog in this fight so I could care less if Luica is the coach f the Gopher or not. Frankly he is doing one hell of a job right now

Oh my god.

They were funnier than hell and their cheers were awesome. I was at that weekend.

I would predict that Lucia is going no where.

If I was Danny I would get out of the Wild organization as soon as possible. Unless D.R. and J.L. are gone after seasons end.
