SiouxForever Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Both the goofs and Sioux are high caliber teams. But there is one difference, and the UMTC faithful keep acting like it isn't an issue! Goaltending!!! Sioux will out do them with that one key position! And being a grittier team too. Gopher players think they're all All-Stars and don't have to get dirty or battle in the corners. Usually a majority of their players are pre-madonas, but everyone knows that's expected with Gophers players. Quote
sioux rube Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Gophs looked much better tonight in the first period compared to last night. Could easily be 3 or 4 nothing right now. Ambroz with the goal to make it 1-0 goofs after 1. Quote

This was true 2 or 3 years ago...The Gophers have a different make-up now and Guentzel has added a little sandpaper to their attitudes. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I've watched about a period total of the gopher game this weekend, and boy, is McLoed an improvement at announcer. I can't believe they let him go all those years ago when he was on the old MSC! Quote
bigskyvikes Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 McLeod is a major Homer to an extreme level! According to him the national championship is already in the trophy case in MN! Quote
sioux rube Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 McLeod is a major Homer to an extreme level! According to him the national championship is already in the trophy case in MN! He reminds me of the pro wrestling announcer from the AWA back in the 80's. It's uncanny. Quote

Goaltending!!! Sioux will out do them with that one key position! If you watched the game last night the goaltending was not the problem....it was their defensive meltdowns. Quote

scpa0305 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I don't think anyone's cocky. I think everyone's laughing because of all the talk of the Gophers being "unstoppable" after destroying Michigan State and then the very next game they lose. Oh now...I definitely read some cocky posts. Quote

bigskyvikes Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 If you watched the game last night the goaltending was not the problem....it was their defensive meltdowns. I did watch the game! But where did I say they lost because of goaltending? I said the diff between Sioux and goofs was goaltending! You should re- read before you comment........ Quote
farce poobah Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 He reminds me of the pro wrestling announcer from the AWA back in the 80's. It's uncanny. Well actually ... I couldn't tell if you were joking ... he WAS a wrestling announcer. Go to the 4 minute mark on this video: There's other old vids out there ... Quote

Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Oh wow, I used to watch AWA with my dad when i was young. Maybe I like him because of that! Brings me back! Quote

bigskyvikes Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 That's why they play the games. It's one loss, keep it in perspective. I don't think anybody expected them to go undefeated all year long. Even the 1986-87 Sioux team lost 8 games. The Gophers are still the best team in college hockey in spite of what happened last night. I guess we will find out Monday on the rankings... Quote
sioux rube Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I guess we will find out Monday on the rankings... Sioux win tonight it will be them but really who gives a shyt this early. Means nothing. Quote
