This simply adds to the fact that the WCHA wants to see Minnesota win and get all the accolades....deserving or NOT!!!!
Briggs would not be an MVP of a Pee Wee hockey tournament!!!
What a total joke.
-
Anyway, I blame the score on the reffing.
Oh you had Don "I love the Gophers" Adam ref your game too.
-
PA and Dumba$$
-
I honestly don't think this as close as what people are making it out to be.
-
OVERRATED!!!!!!!!
-
Last night it looked like the Gophers out gassed the Huskies.....I see a real lopsided affair today!
Gophs 6
SCSU 1
SCSU is not the team they were in November!!!
-
FYI - Ryan Potulny is in MN's lineup this afternoon.
Who is sitting?

I am so pumped for the Sioux!
So pumped that I have been inspired to change my avatar.
Nice job boys!!!!!
-
Boy, this is the "feel good" thread of the day. I'm so pumped up after reading your inspiring posts that I'm headed out to Blockbuster so I can can rent Rudy, Hoosiers & every other "feel good" movie out there.
Just wondering, Carl: How does a guy from Bloomington wind up cheering for the Sioux? Did a Gopher player not autograph your stick when you were 5 & you're carrying a grudge to this day?
Perhaps my post is somewhat inspired by the movies Miracle and Radio which I have recently watched. But this is my $0.02.
Never been a Gopher fan though I had former teammates who played there. I had several other friends and coaches who went to UND and once I found out I could pursue flying at UND and watch the Best College hockey team in the country (Fighting Sioux
) at the same college my allegiance the UND was a simple choice. 
GO SIOUX!

I really think people need to stop for a second and look at what we have here.
The Sioux are a great team playing in great conference. They are NOT going to win every night. Just because they had a torrid pace going in WCHA wins, let's not forget the talent by which this league is comprised.
So I say get off the Monday morning quarterback thing and quit second guessing the coaches and players. Most, if not all, of us have never suited up in a WCHA game, though some of us have played at a highly competitive level (in my case Bloomington Jefferson); but high school hockey or any other amateur hockey is a far cry for the grind of WCHA hockey week in and week out! There are far too many good things about Sioux Hockey than to be a pi$$ and moan fan...we can leave that to the fans of the WCHA team in Minneapolis!
Let's be fans of this team and support them win or loose, not bash them every time they loose! Here's to looking forward at this weekend series at MSU-Mankato not back to games already in "the books"!!
GO SIOUX!

POI has a link to a "cheers" page. The "official" UoM school songs link is also there. I don't agree with some of their featured cheers but perhaps its a way to get things started.
I agree it is a way of getting things started.
But those Goofer pukes sound really stupid!!!!! I mean really.
How much time is left?
Wow that's a good one!!!Back at full strength..that's debatable!
These cheers pack as much puch as a Adam Hauser clearing attempt!

1) Spelling Bee Contest
2) World Poker Tour
3) Lumberjack Competition
4) Chess Tourney
5) Paint Dry (
)6) Dog Competitions
7) Bowling
Of course I am kidding, but ESPN isn't when they show this CRAP and rarely have College Hockey (except National tourney) on one of the 5,000 ESPN channels.
What a joke!!!!!
-
DISHMAN...I don't care if you hate the Sioux and post here, but respect that this is our board and not POI...even airmail posts with respect over there. If all you're going to do is b*tch about the Sioux...go back to POI, and stay there.
Hey NorthStar...
AMEN brother!!!!!!
-
A bit sensitive don't ya think? You can honestly say a trip to Grand Forks is like going to Boston or Denver or St. Louis or Detroit or St. Paul? It's an event. When there's no hockey, people want to do something besides playing blackjack in the hotel bar.
Grank Forks can host the World Juniors but not the Frozen Four???
This is my point.
-
Grand Forks hosting the Frozen Four? That's like Boise hosting the Super Bowl. People want to have fun when they go to these events...nightlife, shopping, nice weather, etc. A direct flight would be nice too.
Here's one:
Let's have the Midwest Regionals every year at The John, and every Frozen Four at the Excel. Gee Minneapolis is the greatest city in the WORLD!!!!
Is that enough home ice advantage for the Goofers?
-
Badgers get no credit from me tonight, they were outplayed badly, and don't deserve the W
As in golf you don't describe you just score 'em and the Badgers got the points!
-
Let's give the Badgers some credit for taking it to the Sioux.
How will this Sioux team respond...this is a series that will be turning point, which way will it go? Down hill or fire them up for the playoff stretch?
-
Time check, anyone.
Time to get this team refocused!!!!!
-
Sorry if this was posted earlier....but did anyone catch the "high stick" last night.
Good call or bad call?
Could this be two goals taken away from Sioux by Shidt?
-
I don't think that this team is making a habit of losing, or that it intends to make a habit of losing.
-
Funk spunk. What in the hell is everyone talking about. They lost one friggen game to a solid Wisconsin team. The team has been number one for 13 weeks. Our boys will bounce back. Everyone take a deep breath and get a little perspective. It's the middle of Feb and we are still the WCHA leaders.
And Dogz. Congrats. Keep in rolling. What would be better than having the Cup on the line in late Feb.
Good points, but I am thinking of a season not long ago (lasty year!) when a
#1 rated Sioux team got in a rut and tanked the season. Apples to Oranges one season to the next, but I am firm on my previous post on what this team needs to realize and wake up.
-
Touche!!
I had to type that to vent some anger.
I am very diappointed with the Sioux tonight!
-
Wake up call for the Sioux.
1) Playing for 10 minutes out of 60 does not win games.
2) Sioux are now # 2 in the country....at best after this HUGE let down
3) This game will either launch the Sioux or kill em for the season.
4) Each player has to ask themselves if they want to win anymore this year.
5) Too many players running around scared to hit or get hit
6) Are the Sioux feeling like they are unbeatable....not any more boys.
7) 1-2-1 in the last four games...think about it!
It is reality time boys!!!!
Sorry for the vent...but the Sioux looked like sh*t!!!!!!!!
Wake up or pack it up.
UMDDogz...I thought I smelt ass!!!!

It never ceases to amaze me what Rugzacco and Booger come up with.
Briggs Tourney MVP?
in Men's Hockey

Isn't it obvious they didn't WATCH the game.....hell Briggs got the MVP.
