I mean get injured Not laughing at his injury, laughing at my joke last night late i believe http://blogs.denverpost.com/sports/2009/03...out-for-season/ he is their leading goal scorer and i wonder if bozak makes it back from his injury. those are pretty much theier best 2 players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 last night late i believe http://blogs.denverpost.com/sports/2009/03...out-for-season/ he is their leading goal scorer and i wonder if bozak makes it back from his injury. those are pretty much theier best 2 players Yeah, it sounds like Bozak will be cleared to begin full practices again on Monday, but probably won't play in his first game until the NCAA regionals. Huge loss for them next weekend if they are missing both Ruegsegger and Bozak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yzerman19 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Devastating for DU. Building chemistry on top scoring lines is tough. Now they are out one star and bringing back a different one. It will be like starting from scratch on those top units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 want to give a shout out to the umd bulldogs and uaa seawolves. first the seawolves as man they play hard and they showed it by taking care of umd last weekend and giving du all they can handle this weekend. props to uaa for a strong finish. also props to umd, they could have folded so easily after their bad weekend vs uaa but man did they bounce back and take care of a very good cc team. very inconsistent vut good cc team so props to all dog fans out there, umd dogz, DHG, and all others. hell of a goalie and he has done more than people realize i think as their D isnt that great overall. go sioux go dogz go beavers!! had to throw in some love for my hometown beavs!!

UMDDogz Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Here's the homer prediction (and realist prediction): Thursday: UMD - 4 (UMD 3, UM 2) UM - 2 Friday: DU - 1 (UW 2, DU 1) UW - 4 UND - 2 UMD - 3 OT (UND 4, UMD 3) Saturday: UND - 5 (UMD 3, DU 1) DU - 0 UMD - 3 (UND 5, UW 4 OT) UW - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I do think that UMD is going to be hungrier on Thursday. Less entitled, more willing to work for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 My daughter and I will be there...Sec. 121 Row 24! Going to have some fun before we have to start sand bagging for the flood of '09. They said the flood of '97 was a 500 year flood and the Forum said today that there was a 1 in 3 chance it floods to the '97 level or higher. I'm not real good at "maff", but that is way less than 500 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I do think that UMD is going to be hungrier on Thursday. Less entitled, more willing to work for it. UMD should come right out and hammer the Goofs, check them right into the street. Crash the net hard the Goofs will fold like a tent.

yzerman19 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think people are missing the fact that Sandy put together a pretty darn good team up in D town. UMD was hit hard with early departures too. THey have a highly touted kid coming in next year as well. The DOgs will come to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 For some reason I'm more excited for this years final five then in previous years. The Thursday night matchup is similar to last year, but I really think that the way the dogs and the gophers are playing will make it a fantastic game. I'm not one to make predictions, but that game is very capable of being a 1-1 or 2-2 OT thriller (now saying that it will be 7-6 ). The 2-3 game should be a good one with Denver and Bucky. I give the advantage to Bucky with Denver's top two players being out, and I expect the badgers to bring a mighty voice to the X on Thursday afternoon after not being there last season. Another great goaltending matchup in that one. I don't know what to think of the Sioux right now. I'm glad they swept Tech but both nights there were good stretches where they were outplayed. I hope it goes to that old adage that its tough to end a teams season, and I guess UND did lose on Saturday night last season, so you could say that good teams find a way to win when they aren't playing their best hockey. At least we don't have to hold our breath after last years series....Tech had my heartbeat up quite a bit last season....jerks... Alright, here go my predictions: Play in Minnesota 3 Duluth 2 in OT Semis Wisconsin 4 Denver 2 Minnesota 3 UND 2 (Minnesota benefiting again from the chance to have an entire day break) 3rd Place UND 5 Denver 1 Championship Wisconsin 4 Minnesota 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I thought UMD would fair better than they did a couple weeks ago against Duluth. All the same reasons this time around make me want to pick UMD, but everyone knows the Gophers will do just good enough to stay alive.

What you said is key, good teams find a way to win -- which is what we have done time and time again this season. I don't care if we play the worst game of our lives as long as we win. And I definitely can't see Minnesota doing all that much at the Final Five based on how they've played lately. If they had to play any other team besides st cloud in the first round, I don't think they'd even be there. And Minny can say Kangas is back all they want. I'll believe it when I see it....NEXT YEAR. 3 games doesn't justify anything to me. We will see what happens this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 exactly, you win and move on to the next task and thats the final 5. you work on things that may have been rough during the week in practice and prepare for um/umd. go sioux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
