MinnesotaNorthStar Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Turkey bowling in the old Ralph Karl "claiming the ice" after a five-minute standoff following warmups before the championship game at the 2001 Final Five against SCSU. Chanting "HAU-ser... HAAAAU-ser... HAAAAU-ser...." Turkey Bowling ruled. They brought it back for the game after RE died. They should make it permanent. I was at that game...I knew Karl wouldn't back down. He'd stay out there with the Zamboni going around if he had to. You forgot the last part to the Hauser chant, so I'll finish it for you.....SUCKS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Spring of '98 Aaron Schwietzer getting a five minute minor for roughing from the bench, after Blake had butt ended a michigan tech guy in the ribs as he was stepping onto the Tech bench. Then turned around to go after Blake and was rudely stopped by a right hook blocker from Aaron Actually I think the stick was a little lower than the ribs...

airmail Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Maybe it's not "happiness", but the crowd singing the national anthem after Ralph died was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen or heard. The feeling was undescribable, and certainly unforgettable. For those who weren't there, I'm sorry I can't put the feeling in the arena that night into words. It will without question always be one of my best memories of Sioux hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got that picture here somewhere..... At least Spehar was very close to his "cherrypicking" position when he was released from the bench. He needed binoculars to see his own end from his usual position on the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will without question always be one of my best memories of Sioux hockey. Ditto -- (was that the night the microphone for the singer didn't work and the crowd started singing louder than normal?) In the early 80's watching a game on tv during a blizzard -- face off in the opponets end -- the group watching it chanting goal, goal, goal, goal and when the linesman dropped the puck UND won the face off and the d-man whistled in a goal -- totally awesome -- can't remember the player, opposing team, but just remember the group "willing" the goal. David Hale's goal this past season at home vs. CC to tie the game .... Providence .... April 2000 ..... being there ..... empty net goal ..... oh my goodness ..... At home ..... April 2001 ..... DB pulling the goalie twice .... Wes Dorey's goal to tie ..... scaring the kids because 4 adults were jumping up and down and shouting/yelling/high 5'ing .....

DMT Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Last year, I don't remember the opposing team but. A player lost his stick by the Sioux bench, and skated off to his bench. In the meantime Rory McMahon (who was on the bench) looked around, picked the stick up, broke it and threw it back on the ice. Hillarious!

sprig Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 A classic pic; he likely did Minnie more good there than on the ice. Did they replace him immediately with another skater since he entered a "bench". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamStrait Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 '86-'87 Tech home series. Bobby Joyce needed a point to tie (or was it set?) the league (or was it NCAA?) record for points in a series. Gino puts out the top line late in the game (may have been on the PP). Hrkac, just before taking the faceoff to the left of the Tech goalie, gives Bobby J a look and a nod. A second later, Tony wins the faceoff cleanly, putting the puck right on Joyce's stick. Bobby does the rest, slamming it home past the Tech goalie, tying (or was it setting) the record. Anyway, it happened right in front of me, and it was a great moment, even if I'm a little fuzzy on the details. Somebody less lazy than me can do the checking to see whether it was a team, league, or NCAA record in question, and whether it was for points or goals.

sprig Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 The Jay to Jeff then into the Gopher net for the GWG at then end of the great period 3 comeback (1999, I believe). And the replay, showing Jeff taking off from deep in the Gopher end, while the Gopher forwards stood still and watched the action taking place in their own end. Don't believe any of them made it to neutral ice. Always love the defensive work ethic of those Woog teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Boy Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 NCAA Finals against BU, April 1997 David Hoogsteen doing his classic "window puppet" on the glass after one of the five second period goals. Just two days prior, watching two obnoxious Michigan fans walk the isle from their seats on the glass, through hundreds of taunting Sioux fans, eating crow all the way up to the exit after a stunning BU upset. In my mind, still the best college hockey game I've ever seen. Opening Night HOF Game, Friday, Oct 5th, 2001. The sustained standing ovation for Ralph before his center ice speech. So loud was the noise that I believe Betty (or was it the grandson?) was covering her ears. After all that controversy BS, you had 11,000+ Sioux fans showing true appreciation for an incredibly generous individual. Oh yeah, and beating the Bison the very next day. I'd take a NC loss to the Gophs paired with a Bison spanking anytime. taz digs da Fighting Sioux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about 10 rows up in the corner of that game right in front of David Hoogsteen. That was the most exciting hockey game that I have ever seen. I remember looking at my then 9 year old son after the 1st period, and he was slumped in his chair with a a very sad face. I remember telling him (not sure if I believed it) that there was a lot of game left and that the Sioux would come back. The 2nd period was absolutely wild and my favorite player, David Hoogsteen, was the best player on the ice. The drive home from Milwaukee was the best ever.

Don't believe any of them made it to neutral ice. Always love the defensive work ethic of those Woog teams I remember watching that game on MSC & that play was a classic display of pure speed. I think Jeff bolted into the defensive end to backcheck the puck away from a Gopher singlehandedly, turned on the jets through the neutral zone on a 2 on 0 with his brother, made a quick pass to Jay & then back to Jeff for a backhand top-shelfer. Mazzocco & Reid made it sound just like any other play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands down except maybe for Blake, Jeff Panzer was one of the most exciting Sioux hockey playes I have ever seen put on the Green and White (I wasn't here when the Hrkus Circus was in town). However, maybe Zack surpasses Him some day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dynamic end-2-end rushes have been few & far between since Panzer, Blake, Lundbohm & Murphy left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
