Four Below Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 My brother has a cabin near Lee Davidson (former Sioux player, former UMD assistant). Davidson shared a story with him about an end of the season coaches meeting in Florida (I think). Gwoz often wouldn't participate in the golfing events, etc. Apparently he came across as pretty arrogrant (imagine that). Anyway, one night he was in a bar and was lipping off about something and one of the other coaches dumped a pitcher of beer on his head. If he was such a saint of a guy, odds are good he wouldn't draw that kind of reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming this is Florida and you're not on the golf course there probably aren't any gloves to drop. (unless you came prepared of course.)

yababy8 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 UND's fault, huh? OK. Let's look at a few items: What would most people say heated up this rivalry in recent years ? IMO, it was the hit by Paukovitch on Bina in the WCHA tourny back in 2005. A blatant, flagrant cheap shot. When Gwoz recruited Paukovitch there was no possible way he could have known the type of character he had...nothing in his background that would raise any red flags, right ? While Robbie Bina had to spend over a year out of hockey, Gwoz's response was to suspend him for one game. Sounds like a fair punishment Two years ago in Denver, Prpich "nuts" Paukovitch during a faceoff, Gwoz goes crazy, jumps on the dasher and gets kicked out of the game. Should Prpich have done that ? No, but it is hard for me to feel sorry for Paukovitch, what goes around...bit of a payback. Gwoz still needs to control his own actions. Last year at the Ralph. Fight breaks out at the end of the period. Why ? Major cause was Denvers constant "dumping" of the bench onto the ice at the end of every period in direct violation of the NCAA rules. A few UND players heading toward their own bench passed thru this "dump" and guess what happens. Bumping and pushing escalates while Denver has a 20-5 man advantage. Radke hears the roar and comes back out to help his teammates. Who's at fault here ? I would blame this on Gwoz for allowing his team to dump on the ice after the period and on the officials for allowing it. Notice this past w/e at the end of every period at least one official would race toward the Denver bench to keep them from doing this. My take is that it is not the officials job to prevent a team from committing a penalty. They should have stayed away, then called a minor penalty on Denver if they came off the bench onto the ice...that would quickly fix the problem. This year in Fridays game, Denver got away with a lot of "stick work" throughout the game. In the third period Testwuide blatently spears Vandevelde along the boards then gives him two hard cross-checks. Scrum breaks out. Looks like UND started another fight . Denver's team is getting spanked on the ice and can't handle it so they resort to cheap stuff. Again, who's fault is that...Gwoz, maybe ? His captain is the one doing a large part of the cheap shots. Lead by example. Saturday night, Gwoz thinks Vandevelde should have been called for a penalty so he goes nuts again. If all coaches went nuts on a missed call or whenever they think the officials have a bad night then games would run 5 hours long. It appears to me that Gwoz can't control himself or his team. The DU admin response is "this was wrong, coach realizes this". Dang that is a harsh response. Not a peep from Gwoz himself. I doubt he is sorry for his actions. The Denver backers of Saint George are delusional if they think it is UND's fault. Mike Chambers might want to look at things objectively (nah, that would ruin a good story) instead of kissing up to Gwoz. Very well said! I would like to add that Hak didn't do the dash dance when one of our guys ( I forget who) gets pulled down by the facemask from behind during play and we get no call. It was on a delayed DU penalty on Friday night behind their net and it was VERY blantant. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of a firm hand at that point only encouraged the scrum that happened a few moments (on the game clock) later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 After a while, it gets almost comical. Maybe the Sioux should be as arrogant and cocky as Gwoz himself and just accept that everybody is going to assume the worst when there are incidents in a game involving the Sioux. Their attitude should just be that "yeah we intimidate every little wussy team in the league, so what are you going to do about it?" Gwoz is one of those rare idiots that talks behind the backs of whomever he isn't around. When he is in UND circles, he mocks "gopher pride", when he is outside he mocks the Sioux. Why should anyone care what a two-faced jerk like that thinks anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richthorpe Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 GWOZ is a joke...What a no-class coach, he complained to the ref's all weekend...To the extent that it slowed the game down numerous times Friday night... Denver can have this loser...Heated Rivalry or not, this dude should have gotten something... I'm not sure why every line change the Line'sman & Ref had to go explain something to him... His team melted down Friday, and he melted down Saturday... Here's hoping Denver Melts down the rest of the year... Go Sioux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Funny, I commented on the Chambers blog, no profanity, nothing bad, other than to point out the difference in his and the post game interview, as well as pointing out that either he or Gwoz was a liar. It was there for a bit, but has now been removed. I'll try once more, unless I've been banned. I had a post taken down and it wasn't filled with Profanity and wasn't out of hand.

Go Sioux You're right Gwoz complained to the refs all weekend long, he literally added 20 minutes to both games last weekend with his excessive whining and complaining to the refs, when he wasn't complaining one of his players were. I remember hak giving Campion the lets get it going signal like three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I had a post taken down and it wasn't filled with Profanity and wasn't out of hand. My second one was up but has now been take down. I left out the "liar" comment and just quoted the post game interview and asked which was the correct one, Chambers or PCM. Guess he doesn't want quotes that don't match what he wrote. Tried #3, with just a link to the USCHO game recap. Seems that Mr. Chambers doesn't want another journalist's article that contradict his fiction. Interesting.

siouxweet Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm getting a little ahead of myself. but theoretically with the ncaa possible going to more of a regionalized tournament. it wouldn't be out of the question for und,du and minn to all be placed at mariucci. with us as a 4 seed and du and minn as 2 and 3 seeds. that would be a fun regional.

It was there for a bit, but has now been removed. I'll try once more, unless I've been banned. This happened to me on Roman Augustovitz' Gopher blog on the Star Trib website after the series where I challenged some of the assertions in his blog post, and the charges levied by the email he posted from a reader. Actually, he just never approved the post for some reason. Another reason to appreciate the coverage and effort we get from Brad Schlossman. I've never seen anyone complain about comments on his blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxmama Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I think everyone should send an email to the WCHA and let them know what you think of Gwoz's actions, and what you think of the WCHA having no backbone, and letting him off with these antics.

siouxweet Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 according to the herald du just suspended gwoz for 1 game for communicating with the team via headset after he was ejected. wouldn't the ncaa want to look into this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunk Monkey Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 He violated the rules by communicating with his team - they should have to forfeit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 That's interesting. The suspension by DU isn't for acting like a spoiled child but for communicating with the team after the ejection. Is that supposed to be a face-saving explanation? Petulant child vs. "cheater"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
