Dave Berger Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 A couple of articles to keep you going until 7:37... Sioux/Gopher Week: Hockey Rivalries Weekend Preview: UND vs. Minnesota Dave Quote
Blackheart Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 TH laughs and says they will be looking to knock around ness this weekend. love the honesty. ill add ness to the other 17 skaters. woog then says thats sioux hockey and the sioux like to get that puck in corner and go like HELL after the gophers to create turnovers. Hennessey didn't sound too friendly...a little pissed off maybe...Woog was his ususal confused self... Quote
Blackheart Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 UW is the better rival overall, but nothing beats UM-UND hockey imho. This series seems like it's been a long time coming. The December break is almost worse than the summer break. Go Gophers!! Sorry dude...Coach Lucia and the unbalanced schedule say that St. Clown is our rival...should be some good games anyway; go Sioux! Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Hennessey didn't sound too friendly...a little pissed off maybe...Woog was his ususal confused self... Yeah he did, and I LOVED IT!!!!!! Way to go TIM! Quote
gfhockey Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I see proudsioux, "the keystone light drinker" found his way over to uscho.com. Quote
Slap Shot Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Sorry dude...Coach Lucia and the unbalanced schedule say that St. Clown is our rival... Sad, ain't it? btw - think of the game these two teams could have today if no one had left early? It would the be the NHL in Grand Forks. Quote
hockeydog Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 We need a "tough" weekend from our blueliners. Moving Miller back to D (hinted at by Hak on Wed) does not do the trick. Too bad Blood and Fienhage haven't played more this year. They would make sure Eidsness doesn't get abused by Hoeffel, Carman, Flynn, Stoa, etc. I don't think moving Miller back to Defense is an issue?........we gave up 6 goals last weekend in 2 games against Bemidji with Miller as a forward and 14 goals in the previous 7 games with Miller as a Defenseman?.....regardless, the goal is keeping the puck out of our own net? Quote
Walsh Hall Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 As a huge Sioux and lover of college hockey, my thoughts and prayers are with coach Lucia. Best of luck Coach, hope you are on the bench soon. That said, lets go kick some gopher ass. Quote
brianvf Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 (Oh, and Kangas will give up 2 each night, mark it down) I marked it down, but it didn't do much after he got pulled. Quote
Sodbuster Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 The only real flip flopping of players that has been done seems to be this past weekend for WJT. Schack got some playing time that he usually doesn't see, but like the other poster said it wouldn't surprise me to see him out on a little smaller sheet of ice against a more physical team. There's usually a change between lines it seems like, but players stay pretty similar. I can almost guarantee that the first line will be Stoa/Schroeder/Barriball, but from there its a crap shoot. 2nd line is usually some combination of Hoeffel/Lucia/Flynn/White/Carman, but who knows. Guessing the first D line will be Fischer and Ness again, 2nd one Anderson and Fairchild, 3rd one Wehrs and Loftquist. Also I think the small ice fits the Gophers style well, especially guys like Ness, Fairchild, Schroeder, etc....guys that can really pass the puck quick and accurately. Going to be a great series. (Oh, and Kangas will give up 2 each night, mark it down) Maybe per period average? Just kidding. He was grat the first period, but the law of averages got to him. Quite a difference in shots. I wonder what's going to transpire tomorrow. Same thing I hope (for the Sioux) Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I marked it down, but it didn't do much after he got pulled. I loved it when they put in patterson...who the hell is patterson! haahahahahahahahaa Quote
nodak hockey fanatic Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 where's gopherz at? what is his excuse for kangas? is the wjc hangover contagious? haha. lets hope the sioux can play with the same intensity tonight, and good things will happen. Quote
Bob in Wisconsin Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Mark my words: for reffing assignments we will get one or more of the following officials: Shepherd, Hunt Todd Anderson and or Donn Adam. I am thinking Marco Hunt and Derrick Shepherd. As far as I know those clowns have called a lot of penalties on clean hits. Good Call Quote
redwing77 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I loved it when they put in patterson...who the hell is patterson! haahahahahahahahaa He's a freshman goaltender who really did well in the USHL. IIRC, he's even drafted. With Kangas a surefire early departure, it's nice to have a good backup. In my predictions, I think the Sioux will smoke the Gophers on Friday and knock out Fischer. They'll also make Stoa a doubtful addition to Saturday's game. Predictions are ALWAYS easier the following day. Quote
Goon Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 This weekend's series pretty much means we will see one of the following combinations: Derek Shepherd, Donn Adam and or Marco Hunt. Daddy Shep will be at the REA as well. So I think the Sioux and the Gophers should give them something to talk about by having a rough and tumble series. Wow I guess I was pretty accurate on that call. Quote
redwing77 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I predict a Sioux sweep and the scores won't be close. I'm always 100% correct on Sundays! Quote
Goon Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I predict a Sioux sweep and the scores won't be close. I'm always 100% correct on Sundays! I hope you're not going to be too mad at me for praising the officials this weekend? Quote
FIRE HELMET GUY #26 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Congrats on a big time sweep this weekend. Hard to believe the Gophers could not show up for a series like this. The Sioux absolutely DOMINATED every aspect of the games this weekend. Well at least the bars were still a great time! Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 For anybody interested, at 6:30 CST tonight on Fox College Sports - Central, you can see a replay of last nights (I assume) Sioux/Gophers game. Quote

FIRE HELMET GUY #26 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Thanks FHG. Hope you enjoyed your weekend in Grand Forks. Thanks, we did....had a great time as usual, well except for the games I guess. Got to have a Grinder again......always a good thing! Quote
