  1. I dont deny that Lucia is the main reason the rivalry is ending. It's more important to him as the flagship program in our state to play the Minnesota schools before anyone else. Disagreeing with him on that is a legit point of view.

    But yababy8's assertion that Minnesota had a "significant" impact on UND losing their nickname is beyond stupid.

    Nice try, you stated that his entire post is garbage, but yet you seem to only hang onto the nickname issue, why is that?

    Your goofs want to play Mn teams excuse is pretty lame and over used also, seen as how Mn is playing teams in their season that they never played before on a regular basis, hmmm?

    Oh and lucifers son plays for one of them doesn't he?

  2. "It isn't a healthy rivalry"

    I'd agree this is garbage, but it is a quote from Lucia himself. And you'd like us to believe other commitments are ending the series between the two. Lucia doesn't want it, and so it ends. And you can then go to another message board.

    Couldn't agree more!!

  3. Row 18 lower bowl for us, Sioux have won it every year since we moved down there. Upper deck I thought was ok, got service quicker for one thing and bathroom lines were short. Club seats is where we sit for the Wild games and they are fun! But I truly love the view on the red dot in front of the goalies right, in row 18. I'm bumbed out it is all over this season.

  4. couldn't agree more. however, seems like the majoirty around here feel a second half run is a given(including the SID who runs the chat during the games). the only squad under hakstol that seesm to have avoided the first half slump for the most part was the 10-11 squad. this years team seemed to have built for a run like that as well but so far has fallen into mediocrity like other teams in the first half. I say they split with DU, then sweep Tech next weekend for a 10-6-2 first half and sitting somehwere in the top 10 of the PWR. I', not sure this years second half schedule gives us the leeway for huge run. holy cross,cc,minn,scsu,uw, omaha,denver in that order before we get bemidji and msum at the end of the year. I see a lot of splits in there. sure would have been nice to have gotten another two three wins in the first half.

    I will say this and maybe I am wrong but it sure seems like more emphasis is put on winning the Final Five versus the big one at the end. it was 2010 and hak made the reference that they could have held back a little in their three day run and 6 games in 9 day stretch to maybe have a little gas left going into the regional but they decided it was important for the fans and the program to go for the win at the final five.

    This last paragraph is complete Bull! Hak never said that and never would, they went into the final five to win it, always have, always will....

    "Hold back for the next game", ha, never happen!

  5. The bottom line is the win-loss column. When the WCHA playoff pairings are announced, it won't matter if your team was "competitive in losses". When they hand out NCAA bids in March, they don't give a rip about "how the teams were playing during their losses". The more this team wins before Christmas, the better. These second-half runs are exciting, but they don't leave enough gas in the tank come tournament time.

    When your team is competitive with losses and the time of year is Nov, yeah it does matter! That would tell me that losses are about to turn into wins.

  6. So basically you were determining everything on what the outcome of the game was, not how they were playing. So because the outcome changed in two minutes, now the Sioux can sweep Denver?

    What a great comment, that flaw of judgement happens a ton on here.....
