because these are the two issues that nobody - and I mean nobody - changes their stance on no matter how much persuasion is attempted
-
damn Dave - you are persistant anyway. I would have given up long ago. Do you always like to take the unpopular side and beat it to death? What are your thoughts on abortion?
-
I'm not going to get too involved in this discussion - but only to say that I'm glad GW Bush is president if only for the fact that he was able to appoint two conservative supreme court justices - which is in my opinion THE most important duty the president has. Without them, the decision would have not gone in my favor and I'm certain that with Barack Hussein Obama probably becoming our next president - the days of me being able to own my guns would be numbered - at least legaly.
Thank God for our forefathers and the constitution for that document protects our rights from the people in the elitest northeast, the left coast and some guy in Fargo who always seem to know what is best for me as they are so much brighter and more enlightened than I. Just ask them.

I also remember the ole saying he who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones
and "you can't fix stupid"

ON PAPER the Gophers have a top 5 recruiting class. We all know that recruits don't alway pan out.
I guess we will have to wait and see.
they always do - at least as far as the the national scene is concerned - even when they don't
-
Here are the scouting videos for some of our recruits for the draft. Once again, these are not highlight videos.

Kristo can fly - also looks to have a edge to him

his hockey I.Q. will increase by 30 points playing for the good guys

I think it should be Minnyentitlement
They think they should get everything given to them just because they are the U of M.
good one - even the Democrats here called them arrogant and having a feeling of entitlement as they always get their way - latest scenario - the light rail project.
anyway - good luck to Blake
-
What does University of Minnymystery stand for? Just curious
Minny - as in Minnesota (probably obvious)
Mystery- as in the institution (as well as people closley associated with it) frequently do things that are a mystery to most other folks.
-
Obviously too much time spent at the University of Minnymystery and arrogance surrounding the institution has clouded his thought process.
-
It's not surprising that he said that because Guentzel was very close to the players but saying it's a huge loss to the program is being short sighted because it only focuses on what were losing as opposed to what were gaining. Who's to say the new assistant won't be even better?
your right - its probably not a huge loss - perhaps not a loss at all - hell, maybe even a blessing by your train of thought.
-
You don't think having the nicest arena in North America is an advantage?
Oh - most definately and it certainly helps to bring some of the good Minnesota kids to UND - as opposed to an other Minnesota school - which is Pat's point. They all grow up watching the gophs because that is all there is - it is the first choice simply because of that and the exposure that will be received.
How many kids turned down a scholarship from the gophs to accept one at Mankato? Someday (perhaps) you all will realize the advantages you have - being the big town in the region. You probably already do - but consider it an entitlement.
We are very fortunate to have such an arena and it helps level the playing field - for us anyway.

1) One could argue that anyone could win a national title with teams Hakstol has had the last few years, but obviously that didn't happen. There are teams every year that have rosters that would indicate they could / should win a title, such as UND's the last few years.
2) "Implosions?" So, let's see: two regular season titles, one WCHA playoff title, All-Americans, etc. Yeah, the Holy Cross loss is terrible, and last season wasn't great (though they still made the most of things at the end when most people -- including myself -- thought they would go down without a fight).
And don't give me this BS that Sioux fans like to spit out about how the NCAA title is all that matters. Convenient excuse considering the lack of banners under Hakstol and the many that have been hung by the Gophers and other teams over that same time period.
3) Three of the four classes on the 2002 team were Lucia recruits. Obviously guys like Leopold and Pohl were big contributors and they were of course Woog recruits, but guys like Ballard, Taffe, Koalska, Riddle, Martin, etc. were Lucia recruits that made a huge difference on that team.
And, by the way, 100 percent of the players on the 2003 title team were Lucia recruits, so explain that one. Must have been the influence of Woog's recruits from the previous year that put them over the top, right?
of course - like the Yankees, they have all the advantages - hell, I could recruit for the University of MinnyMystery.
Pat is right - just take a look at it from the outside for a moment.
Anyway - good luck Mike.
Perhaps the next asst. coach will leave his D1 head coaching job (John Hill) to come here too - pretty easy work - if you don't have any ambition and simply want to be apart of the "Yankees of NCAA Hockey"
-
I think he means it's the team everyone loves to hate.
Actually - he means the team that has all the advantages. Yankees with their money and market place and the Gophs with their money and market as all their games televised - so the poor fans in St. Cloud, Mankato and Duluth ares stuck watching the gophs instead of their own teams - recruiting advantage? well - I for one think so. Of course the goph fans don't see this - they simply feel that they deserve it.

I have to say as much as we like to pick on him I am impressed that wheeler found a way to graduate from a major U in 3 years. Considering how challenging school is without playing a sport I am impressed. I also like this move from a negotiation standpoint.
oh well - good "scoop" for the dieing star trib - the heart of the university on minny-mystery. (perhaps that is why it is dieing).
-
4 straight one of the top four teams in the country
-
I'm not sure how this will be received - but what are the chances of Osh, Duncs, Chorns and big Joe deciding to come back for another run?
BTW - great season to all the lads on the team. You made us proud to wear and support the Green and White once again
-
I sincerely doubt that long-island had an offer to sign earlier though.
-
One ticket get you into both semi-finals right?
yep
-
A little off-topic for this thread, but does anybody have a list of incoming players next year for UND? Thanks...
here you go
-
I see Hobey Baker finalist Mr. Jones signed yesterday with the Wild and is moving to Houston.
-
I would be willing to bet that Kozek is back next season.
as would I
-
tickets are sold and sent

no such thing as an unnecessary shot at the gophs.
