The Sicatoka Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The Rocky Mountain News hired a local Grand Forks writer for the story, electing not to send beat writer Pat Rooney, as the paper is likey to fold in a matter of weeks. I would guess that the article's author was very likely your very own Patrick C. Miller. Patrick C. Miller wrote the Friday Rocky Mountain News story (his name was on it), but he did not write for Rocky Mountain News on Saturday. Virg Foss wrote the Saturday Denver Post story.

AZSIOUX Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 gwoz is gwoz, hes a dasher dancing little coach. funny as hell when he does that stuff because its always against the sioux. i like that be backs his players and lets his players try to defend themselves unlike other coaches out there. his antics get old even though they are funny but he does make himself look like a idiot. he has back to back NCAA titles in his back pocket and that will trump many things you can do out of stupidity and also save you from a couple down seasons in the long run. he can recruit and can coach but he also can make himself look like a moron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey1 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Right, but I don't think it's fair to count that 4th penalty because it's the one Gwoz got for protesting the officiating to that point. If we're going to count the 4th, let's count the missing "delay of game" penalty that SHOULD have been called! I may be wrong but didn't UND get a power play on the bench minor?

The Whistler Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I may be wrong but didn't UND get a power play on the bench minor? Yes, which was called before the spaz went on the ice. He was also thrown out before he went on the ice. Or in other words, there was NO sanction by the on ice officials for this behavior that was apparently unprecedented.

My original post on this topic pointed out that UND had four straight power plays earlier in the game before DU had their five straight power plays. Box score: I have to admit I was a bit confused during the game. They announced a bench minor and bench misconduct, then clarified it to a game misconduct. I was a bit slow on the upchuck to realize that the spaz had gotten kicked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck swami Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Denver University should fire Gwozdesky. He fails to control his team. In fact, he promotes undiciplined behavior. Think about last year when he pushed his players toward ours, again on the ice, in some sort of a sick make them fight bad soccer parent behavior. Then this year. The aritcle in the Denver has Cody Brookwell quoted as saying 'We talked about it' and "There is a time and place (to fight), and there are guys on this team willing to go with a guy. That's part of the game, and sometimes it needs to be dealt with." You could see in the Firday game that DU was Jacked-up after getting thier arrrsses kicked in a fair way and they got very cheap in repsonse. Please note, I have no problem with a team standing up for themselves. Heck the Sioux have to do that often, but we don't do it in a cheap way. Pioneers were pulling our players down by grabbing thier facemask from behind during play and didn't get calledh (how I have no idea), coming up behind our players and slamming repeaded cross checks in their backs during puck battles on the boards and constantly trying to break things down to a fight. I had the feeling all of this was promoted by Gwoz. ...not to mention that he is the most histrionic coach I have ever seen. He should go. IMHO You should take a look at it from the 35,000 foot view. The Sioux aren't choirboys, nor are the Pioneers. These were two very good hockey teams battling it out in a jacked-up, WCHA playoff type atmosphere. The Sioux beat the crap out of DU last year in Grand Forks, and if you were a Pioneer this last weekend, you'd probably have wanted another chance to show UND than you won't be pushed around, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that DU got a little chippy when they got behind that far on Friday, especially with al the chirping than goes on down on the ice from both teams. I'm sure had DU gone up 8-3 on the Sioux, that we'd see similar chippines from the green and white. That's part of hockey. Having watched as much college hockey as I have over the last 30 years (like some of the old time Sioux fans on this board) is that the stuff we're seeing nowadays with little scrums and 'dasher dances' is total kindergarten in comparison to the days when Archie, Cary, Dacshysn and Co took on the Entire Badger Beer Garden... And since Gwoz has won two national titles, so no one in Denver really minds the dasher dance too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puck swami Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I agree with that. Funny thing is, Gwoz only does the dasher dance vs UND. He's never done it vs. any other team that I am aware of.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a little more than opinion, feelings, etc. and they don't count for much in a court of law. You need the evidence to terminate for cause. Of course, you can simply pay him his salary and avoid the lawsuit deal, just not let him coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
