gopherz Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Stalock was on fire again tongiht... Took the wife tongiht, she had a good time. The World arena was half empty again. CC just couldn't get any momentum, and UMD was super on the defensive. The Gophers will have their hands full next week if this team show up agian. Esox UMD will have their hands much more full if this Gopher team and this Alex Kangas shows up. Quote
brianvf Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 UMD will have their hands much more full if this Gopher team and this Alex Kangas shows up. Key stat: The Gophers only have three sweeps all season. All three have come against SCSU. Not saying that the Gophers aren't looking better, but their games against SCSU probably aren't the best indicator at this point. It was just a few short games ago that this Gopher team gave up 6 goals to Tech, the lowest scoring team in the NCAA. Quote

We are also a few short games ago from taking 3 points from UMD though. I think the essential "home ice" is going to be what puts the Gophers over the top. Quote

And not to rain on the goofs parade but they were swept by the Sioux, Tigers, Badgers, Mavericks... Quote
luapsided Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Wont be much of home ice when you have Wisconsin, UND, and Bulldog fans all rootin for THE DOGS!!! WOOF WOOF! Quote

I think the essential "home ice" is going to be what puts the Gophers over the top. Based on this past weekend you got past a team with no D and one line did most of your scoring. That bodes real well when you have to face a team with a real D. Quote

I think the essential "home ice" is going to be what puts the Gophers over the top. Based on the way your team has played this season that is a pretty silly statement. Stalock is a much better goalie than Kangas now that the Gophers are in the Final Five tourney don't expect the Refs to let you clutch and grab UMD up and down the ice and the Dogs have some pretty good players as well. The Dogs also did something your team couldn't do beat the Tigers in Colorado springs. Lastly, You forget a lot of fans will be cheering against your team. Quote
Godsmack Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I think Scotty Owens' honeymoon is long since over. No dis-respect to Duluth but when your NCAA tournament chances are hanging in the balance and you have home ice in the first round, you gotta do better than just 2 goals all weekend. Nonetheless, despite Duluth beating (deservedly) CC, I will be pulling for the Dogs this Thursday against the Gophers. Quote
Goon Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I will be pulling for the Dogs this Thursday against the Gophers. I think it would be safe to say that there is probably one Sioux fan that will be cheering for the Goofs. Quote

The Dogs also did something your team couldn't do beat the Tigers in Colorado springs. Lastly, You forget a lot of fans will be cheering against your team. Both games in Minneapolis were close, with the Bulldogs leading in both games, and dominating on the forecheck for long stretches. Friday they gave up the tying goal due to a missed call on a blatant interference penalty in front of the Gopher net, and Saturday they had a couple poor defensive breakdowns after taking a 3-2 lead into the third period, and allowed unmarked Minnesota forwards to glide in and put the puck in a half empty net. The D looked much better against CC and even in the high altitude they played tough for 120 minutes. Thursday night is going to be a battle. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 This sioux fan will be cheering for the dawgs! Quote
siouxweet Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Congrats to the Beavers. By the way would anyone have footage of their game winning goal I checked youtube and all they had was the trophy presentation. Quote
sprig Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 For those with KU band systems, game 3 of the Miami/N. Michigan series is on ONN, 74W, 11734-H 6616, starting at 6PM. Don't believe any other game 3 is on anywhere, none on the Fox Sport Nets. Quote
AussieSiouxFan Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 If anybody is interested.... BU - 1 Maine - 1 5:41 Left in 1st Quote
AussieSiouxFan Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Now its BU - 3 Maine - 1 3:26 left in 1st It is an incredibly slow paced game, and BU has had 2 lucky goals, If maine had a descent goalie it would be 1-1 still Hockey east is very boring i might add, but it is better than work lol Quote

NMU scored a shortie and are up 1-0 over Miami after one. Quote
AussieSiouxFan Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I am watching it online on B2 Networks, i just wanted to catch a BU game before regionals to see why they are such a favourite to go all the way this year, judging by this game (so far) i cant see anything special from BU, BU - 6 Maine - 1 4:07 left in 2nd BU with another lucky bounce and shocking save attempt by Maine Goalie to go up by 3. Then Maine caught on change and BU scores to go up by 4. Maine defender last man back gives the puck away to BU and he walks in and scores, Maine goalie is shocking Quote
sprig Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 NMU 2, Miami 0 after two. Cornell up 3-1; Princeton up 3-1 Quote
keikla Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Princeton won 3-1 Cornell won 4-3 BU finishes it at 6-2 Quote
