WPoS Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Plus playing the Sioux gives us a great strenght of schedule!! SUCK UP! on another note: A previous post asked about JJ standing on his head....I think that Briggs will be our go to goalie by Jan. WPoS Quote
dagies Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Before the season started UND was getting nailed for having poor goaltending by gopher fans and JJ was being defended as being better than the UND options. Many UND fans begged to differ. I think so far this season the UND fans were more right. Quote
UMDDogz Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 I have to stay on the good side of these Sioux fans! That way they'll keep bashing the Goofers, and leave the Dogs alone. Of course after this weekend, they have plenty more material on the Gophers anyway. I'd rather have DB's goalie situation than DL's. At least DB has more options!! Quote

You keep telling yourself that. dagies - I know I wan't one of them. I have not yet seen Briggs live but from what I've seen of him on TV I suspect he will slowly emerge as "the man." Quote

sagard Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Once the PWR gets well enough established...say around January, it is nearly impossible to get it to move anywhere (especially if you are in the top 30). Just ask Duluth last year. They got locked in at about 23rd, and despite an 11-4-1 stretch run, they could only pass ONE TEAM. If the Gophers ranking slips too much, they may be not able to climb back into the mix in time, no matter how brilliant the turnaround is. PWR can be very volitale up until the end of the conference tourneys, but a team has to have their RPI component high enough to be in the thick of things. It was due to a weak RPI (schedule) that UMD was basically stuck last year and it is also the reason as the year goes by you will see the Gophers PWR higher than their position in the polls. This is assuming the Gophers do get back to at least a few games better than .500. Think SCSU of last year. Quote
