Siouxmama Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It's the first time since 1968 that the Sioux beat the Gophers by 3 goals both nights of a series. 1st time ever in G.F. Let's hope it doesn't take another 30 years before it happens again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choyt3 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Tacky putting his cell phone number out there. I was surprised it was the actual number. Should have had (555) 555-5555 on there. Agreed on the tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIRE HELMET GUY #26 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I don't know. Hatred seems a little over the top. It's college freakin' hockey, kid. There are a lot better recipients for your hatred than another hockey team. I'm sure he didn't mean hatred as in he wants to blow up the whole school, it's a rivalry. You could ask plenty of UND players and I'm sure they would say they hate Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRE HELMET GUY #26 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Roman just put another thread up on an e-mail sent in.

FIRE HELMET GUY #26 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I just don't get it. People complain about the deals put up on the screen with the quotes next to Kangas and whine about it! I don't think the players even notice them, it's more for the fans which in turn gets them pumped up. Even the ones last year with the girl in the Gopher jersey in the penalty box....that was genius, but people complained about that as well. Like I put on Romans blog, this whole world is becoming pussyfied!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyZL Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Roman just put another thread up on an e-mail sent in. I'm not gonna put he link up because I don't want to get blamed but I have a feeling this thread is going to be good for about another 5 pages now. Those(the guy in the email) are the fans that both fan bases don't need, but both have. If a fan like that can't comprehend/understand the rationale of why certain stuff goes on during the course of the game, then I wouldn't want him as a fan for my team. You also wouldn't see this many negative emails/posts/articles etc. by Gopher faithful if they hadn't gotten beat so bad last weekend. A good ass-kicking lasts for a while and is tough to get over. Besides, is it really a good thing that Minnesota fans are still talking about the series from a week ago and not the current series?

yzerman19 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 No biggie. The Strib filed for bankruptcy today anyways, guess it goes to show what poor writing gets you. Strib is bankrupt, Gophers were swept, Lucia's cowardice broke the code, Kangas got the hook twice. Looks like we win. That being said, I'm not a fan of the F*&k the Gophers chant either. I like how they always act like we're a bunch of goons. Our team is not big this year. In fact, after Finley who else is big? Blood, Fienhage, Davidson? Sure, but they haven't been playing. Then who? VV? He's expected to be a scoring power forward, not a goon. He certainly wasn't mixing it up. Malone likes to mix it up, but he isn't huge. Let's see under Hakstol we've sent Stafford, Zajac, Toews and Oshie off to regular shifts in the NHL. We've sent Lee, Chorney, Porter, Greene, Jones, Smaby off to AHL/NHL status. We've won a Hobey Baker award with Duncs...hmm...four frozen fours too...hmm...sounds like a goon squad to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good ass-kicking lasts for a while and is tough to get over. Exactly. I can usually log into this site at midnight on a game night if there are a ton of pages, the team lost and people are complaining. If the thread is short the Sioux have won and people move on. Of course this Gopher thread is the obvious exception to my rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I put on Romans blog, this whole world is becoming pussyfied!!!!! I enjoy the thought bubbles myself, but I talked to a former player after the series and he says he hates seeing that. He says he knows Hakstol and the team don't like them because the opponent does remember that stuff for down the road. As others have said, I also am not a fan of the "F*** the Gophers" chant. Nor do I think it was a good thing to put Kangas' cell phone number up on the jumbotron. I think that's going too far. Like that commentor on the blog said, the gopher fans do have the chant that end with "f***you you worthless piece of S***". Those in glass houses...

About the admins, I have checked out your board, I think your mods do too much. I think Jim has the perfect balance, people can write freely, if things start getting out of hand, a mod warns about it, if it continues, the person is banned.

brianvf Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Roman is also quite good with the English language: What made the weekend even worst for Kangas is that one UND student held up a huge sign with his cell phone number.

brianvf Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 More fuel to the fire on the "classless" Sioux hockey program . . . and building . . . Star Tribune (as mentioned above) What's funny about that email is this: Hakstol and his bunch of goons seem to get chippier and have less class each time....At some points I wish the gophs just wouldn’t play them, or else bring a couple guys like Stu Bickel back to take down idiots such as Finley and Jones and Kozek. So this person doesn't want the Gophers to play the Sioux anymore because they are goons. But yet later on in the email they want players like Bickel to come back so they "take down" the Sioux players. Very "classy", and also nicely ironic.
