I know, I was backing you up because it happened to me on Sunday. And I (like you) are concerned that this team is not consistent enough to make a run at #8.
Yeah I know...I got what you were implying. I actually saw the comment you were referring to. Either way.....we're all Sioux fans, we just want to do well. Within each fan base there are different types of fans....at the end of the year we'll all be rooting for the same team. I tend to get a little extreme when they lose....a little pessimistic :o). I sort of figured I would get blasted by most of the overly optimistic folks. That's fine though.

You guys know where to find me on Friday or Saturday at 11:00 am during the Final Five...or just stop down in Section 102 Row 9 if you want to dump your beer on my head.
I don't hide behind anything here. I didn't exactly see anyone backing me up after someone called me a 'retard' and a 'douche' on here. Lighten up.No need....I believe you said you were in the Cities before....come for a skate? We need some guys this week.
-
I have taken some shots on this topic as well. Like I have said before, if you want to call me out on something, just do it. Don't make snide comments.
Agreed. I generally agree with most of your posts. I'm not trying to bash this team, UND hockey is by far my favorite sports team to watch. I saw a few Natty's early in my life and have been through the ringer ever since. I just know one of these years we'll get it done....I just expect big things from this team as they should be a top 1-3 team in the country no doubt. I really didn't get that upset last year as they surprised me quit a bit.
-
I heard from a friend of mine whose dad's uncle's ex-wife was at the game and he said the Sioux seniors were a total disappointment on Saturday night and needed to play harder.
I'm guessing that was a shot at me....don't be an internet tough guy
-
Can I call you "Jeff" now.
Jeff was my coach when I played youth hockey. I thought his kid was good.
-
Very good joint...however I've never been there during a final 5
-
And, if Bemidji starts tackling them next weekend, they will get the PP's, even if it's little Shep and Anderson.
Agreed. I felt bad for Denver on Friday night....the refs were doing everything they could to give MN PP time.
-
Think it's time college hockey did something about chipping pucks out intentionally. Michigan did it to us in 2011. Bimidji did it repeatedly last night.Trap,clog up the middle,chip it out,breaks up the flow. It's a penalty in the NHL. Intentional or not.
Agree 100% some buddies and I were talking about that a few weekends back.
-
Last night's game winner was a PP goal by Bjugstad about a minute or two after a Gopher flattened DU's leading scorer with a stick to the neck (refs missed that call, though, of course).
I was going to say...I've seen a bunch of MN pp points lately....that team lives on the PP.
-
Surprisingly the MacNaughton wasn't in St. Cloud last night. Apparently there was "too many scenarios" that could have played out. Even though St. Cloud was the only team that could have possibly clinched it going into last night.
Mankato plays a faster pace than they used too, but they still like to hack and try draw retaliation penalties quite a bit. Their goaltender is a freshman but he's very good. He's got a 1.82 GAA and .930 Save Percentage. Some of the saves he made against Minnesota were spectacular.
Yeah I've seen him play.....he's very good. We can get to him though if we play better than we did this past weekend....which will happen I'm guessing. I bet Hak got on them last night.
-
You're going with a three-way tie, eh?
Yeah....I think SCSU will split, but it wouldn't shock me to see Wisconsin take 3 or 4 from them. I played with Ianazzo this morning and he noted that SCSU is really kicking themselves for their lackluster performance last night.

I really like that Bowen kid from EGF....I watched him play over the Holidays. Smart.
-
Correct. MacNaughton Cup champion is regular season points...tie-breakers determine playoff seeding.
UND sweeps Mankato...37 points.
Minnesota beats and then ties Bemidji...36 points.
SCSU swept at Wisconsin...35 points.
I sure hope you're right.
-
Going to be a fun finish! Multiple teams chasing the MacNaughton Cup, home ice and NCAA tourney positioning
SCSU 35
UM 33
UND 33
MSU 31
UW 31
UNO 30
DU 29
CC 24
UMD 21
BSU 18
MTU 17
UAA 10
FINAL WEEK OF REGULAR SEASON MATCH UPS
UND @ MSU
UM @ BSU
SCSU @ UW
CC @ MTU
UNO @ UMD
UAA @ DU
I'm going to predict that SCSU splits with Wisconsin and MN takes 4 from BSU. I'm really hoping the boys come to play next weekend and take 4 from MSU, I'll be at both games. MSU has been good this year but if we come to play, we should win both and tie for the Cup.
-
Getting to that time of year though when multiple missed opportunities per game to bury the puck will cost you dearly.
Paging Brock Nelson...
No doubt....only if.
-
If that wasn't effort last night I have no idea what effort is. It hurts down deep every time the Sioux don't win. It sucks, and it stays with me all week. Like anyone I try to find the person responsible for what happened to cost them the game. What players lack of effort cost them two points? That is all I want to know.
They should have won but saying those guys didn't lay it on the line is a head scratcher.
Fair.
-
Rocco buries one of a couple golden chances very early and it's a blowout IMO. Games like this happen. To tie BSU stinks as they a very talent poor.
That's what I was trying to say...I tend to be a tad extreme at times
-
I could have sworn it was CC but your memory might be better than mine. I was at the 1997 Final Five and the Frozen Four a few weeks later...greatest two Sioux memories of my life.
That's the weekend I fell in love with Sioux hockey....I was like 12.

Okay. So you didn't watch Saturday and through the score you assume there was no effort? I agree. BSU is not a great team. But Minnesota won't beat them 10-1 both nights.
my father knows hockey extremely well so when he tells me the team didn't play up to their potential and that they should have beaten a team....I believe him.
-
Gersich hasn't had a point yet for Omaha but, by the looks of it, he was booted early in the first game.
-
Off to hockey guys, sorry for the pessimism but this team has to figure it out quick....I still think we get our 4th sweep next weekend though. Man that tie sucked.
-
No it's not all sunshine. I was in attendance at the X for the Michigan debacle, and if someone would have cocked off, I probably would have went Jonesy rage blackout on them. I also recall being a dumbass and yelling some stupid sh-t towards the coaching staff I am not real proud of as I walked out. I completely understand. I want to see an 8th banner just as bad as the next guy. But probably not as bad as the coaches and players who sacrifice much to be a part of that program.
The point is if you are a fan, every once in a while you would post SOMETHING POSITIVE AND SUPPORTIVE. I challenge you to find one from that guy.
Go SIOUX!
You going out and calling me a gopher fan is ridiculous....couldn't you think of something better to come up with than that? Yes, I am a tad pessimistic about this team, but I still do root for them. I know the season isn't over yet, but I have also been around the game long enough to see what happens when a team is inconsistent at the end of the year. They typically lose a heart breaker that they shouldn't have lost in the first place. Our last title was a long time ago and I believe we've had some teams that should/could have won one by now.
-
Were you at the games in Grand Forks last night and Friday night?
Degrees 1.
Not at either...watched Friday's game. My family was at both.
-
This is my main concern about this team. It's March, we are fighting for playoff positioning and we lost one precious point to Bemidji at home. We better hope that the Beavers can pull off a one or two point weekend vs. Minnesota next week. It could happen, but I am not counting on it.
Yeah....that tie was tough last night, especially because the rest of the nation (excluding the goofs) helped us out last night. They're just too inconsistent. On the plus side, Mark is looking like the player I thought he was going to be; I sure hope Parks picks it up. I thought he was going to be nice this year.

NORTH DAKOTA vs. BEMIDJI STATE - Saturday SENIOR NIGHT
in Men's Hockey
Posted
Not 100% sure....but maybe. I am out of town next week on vacation and will most likely be swamped with work when I get back. I have to make sure I get most of my stuff done that week to focus on what's really important that weekend....another chip. Anyway, I can attempt to make it. Is it a big get together? I have tons of buddys that come down every year to the final five...we mostly hang out downtown St. Paul. Embassy suites...Holiday in, McGuverns, etc.
