Slap Shot Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Then he moved the goalpost again. I would never argue his one season in the NHL so far makes him an every day guy. Quote
Goon Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Will you ever stop moving the goalposts? First he was a wuss which is verifiably false given his fight history in juniors and in the pros, then it was he sat in the stands in the playoffs which is false given stats prove he played in every game that year (something only a handful of other players did) including an assist against Denver in the WCHA final, now you're going to argue his minutes were limited. Keep swinging, Goon. Try and keep up Skippy... I was talking about the NHL playoffs last season. Quote
Goon Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Then he moved the goalpost again. I would never argue his one season in the NHL so far makes him an every day guy. He played 51 games last year and there for his fighting skills and not his defensive prowess. Quote
Slap Shot Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 So then you agree that your original claim he would run from a fight was a bald faced pile of crap. Thanks. Quote
Goon Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 So then you agree that your original claim he would run from a fight was a bald faced pile of crap. Thanks. Nope!!!! Hardly. In college, Bickel was your typical high behind the refs and run you mouth type Gopher. When he got to the pros his only way to stay in the lineup is to drop the gloves. Quote
tnt Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I guess I am confused why Saint Lucia would recruit two thugs like Bickel and Helgeson, because goodness knows there is no room in the game for that! 1 Quote

The only thing typical here is your ignorant and false commentary of anything gophers related. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 The Animal flattens little Rau at some point....legally of course. Hope Rodwell is out with the general and jimmer/st Clair. Adds more speed and toughness on the big rink Quote

The only thing typical here is your ignorant and false commentary of anything gophers related. Okay, normally...you are fairly decent...but I will bite. Did Goon say in the USHL? No, he said in COLLEGE. Bickel was a hack in college. Only reason he isn't as much of one in the NHL is because if you are that big of hack or that dumb to try and pull that stuff..your teammates will kick your ass for the other team see Robbie Earl and diving. 1 Quote
Mariucci Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Nope!!!! Hardly. In college, Bickel was your typical high behind the refs and run you mouth type Gopher. When he got to the pros his only way to stay in the lineup is to drop the gloves. I know the incident you're talking about and its laughable to say Bickel hid behind the refs. Bickel was jawing with sioux players, probably Finley, and the ref and Lucia simply got in between them to make sure nothing more happened or it could've gotten ugly, at least it would've for Finley.

Players can't fight in college and fighting majors at the college level are few and far between and that's even true of players at UND. The evidence suggests that at levels where fighting didn't make him lose time he engaged, yet in college he uncharacteristically became a hack? Whatever, but if that's your argument you sound just like Gophers fans you love to rip. I'll bow from this angle because we're not going to agree and it really has nothing to do with this game. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Friday Und 5 um 3 Saturday Und 3 um 3 That's right, the series will end on a tie and will leave fans uneasy that the score was never settled until the next time they meet. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 For those unable to make it to Mariucci, there are several Satellite Parties across the U.S. for Saturday's game http://www.undalumni...89-07464f43c099 Quote
Wilbur Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Anything more than two points for the Sioux is amazing. This program is all about high expectations and winning games, but lets be realistic and hope for two points against a hot team in a tough environment. I'm done with the officials talk. We know they get more pp's at Mariucci, just the way it is. I think a poster brought up a great stat earlier. The Sioux swept the gophers at the mooch one year when there was a 23-8 powerplay differential. I'm thinking the better team will win in the long run in this series. Worked out that way last year when Minnesota was the better team, and the years before when UND ended Minnesota's season. Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 This is the series that we've been waiting for. I predicted that we'd be the two teams to beat in the league, and here we are; identical records, tied for fewest losses (all in league games). Both have played well against the top tier non-conference. Biggest surprise to me is that minny mouse's d is stingier than ours. I think the Sioux are deeper at forward. I think the Goofs have a better goalie. Kristo and Knight have been very special together. I think we see at least one game where they show how special they really are. Ideally, Rocco will also decide to show how special his skill is during the same game. Speed kills on the big ice. Danny, Rocco, Mark Mac all have an extra gear. Lets see them use it. Speed, tape to tape passes. We need to attack the offensive blue line with speed and numbers. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Clark has to come out of his mini funk starting Friday. Quote
Goon Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Clark has to come out of his mini funk starting Friday. You think that 10-4-3, 2.28 GAA and .919 Save Percentage is in a funk? Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Knight with Kristo and Mitch Mac Mark Mac with Caggiula and Rocco Rowney with Parks and St Clair/Gaarder Pattyn with Rodwell and Gleason This lineup would give any team fits...first line has two likely all Americans, second line loaded with speed and skill, third line would own the boards and can finish, fourth line energy with speed. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 You think that 10-4-3, 2.28 GAA and .919 Save Percentage is in a funk? Wouldn't say he was real sharp his last two starts vs HC and CC. There was a reason he sat Saturday Quote

I'm with you on these combo's with exception of Jim on 4th line. Gaarder has to play Friday IMO. O'Donnell might be a spectator for awhile. Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 While Clark hasn't had his two best starts, he is our #1. Goth berg has not impressed me at all. Our D has to play the best 120 minutes of the year this weekend. Mac needs to play physical without ending up in the box. Forbert and Simpson need to just play steady. Mattson needs this to be a breakout weekend. Keeping Gleason in the lineup helps if a player goes down with injury or penalty Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 They will be gunning for danny as always on every shift. I will take this 7-1-1 team in their last 9 into any barn. mariucci isnt loud at all unless they have a reason to be. Both teams have the fire power to light that lamp many times, so much high end talent. Could be the first/last crack for many on both squads so im looking forward to a old time classic series. Win friday and anything can happen sat. Rocco up with parks and mark makes sense. There hasnt even been that much chemisty with drake since the first few weeks. Go Sioux! Quote
iluvdebbies Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Do we know for sure that Hak is going to keep using Gleason as a forward? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 Do we know for sure that Hak is going to keep using Gleason as a forward? Anywhere but D @SchlossmanGF: UND has 1 loss in the last 9 games. Minnesota has 1 loss in the last 15 games. Quote
Goon Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Wouldn't say he was real sharp his last two starts vs HC and CC. There was a reason he sat Saturday The goalie that replaced him was less sharp on Saturday. Quote
