petey23 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Favorite Lou Nanne quote a few years back leading up to a Sioux/Gopher weekend. paraphrasing.."people tend to forget that physicality is a hockey skill and one that ND has plenty of and excels at and our Gophers have very little of " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxnatty#8 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Exactly, look back to when they blew out Miami, they were taking quick one times and getting good traffic in front of the net. Havn't seen many one time shots from the D recently, they get the puck and hold it until someone it right in their face. Hope they can make some of the small changes before next week. AND get healthy, heal up the guys so every can give their all. low shots on wilcox and crash the net hard he gives up juicy rebounds on low shots. Gopher d will push our forwards into wilcox and get him off his game. Rumple never did get on his game after chyzyk got pushed into him.

siouxfan512 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I hope Hak makes a BIG point to the guys that we have to avoid dumb penalties (I'm sure he will); can't give MN the powerplay advantage. That would be an easy way to hand them the momentum. Emotional game, Emotional Rivalry; can't get too emotional in the wrong situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Look at the body of work over the season and the way the teams played their regional finals, I'd say he's dead on. But as recent history has shown us, it's anybody's for the taking. Exactly. Put 4 teams together and one of them looks best on paper and one of them looks worst. Hard to argue that UND isn't the least best of the last 4 teams standing. Someone has to be. Doesn't mean it's an automatic win for the gophers, but what's wrong with calling a spade a spade? History is full of lower seeds beating higher seeds (and vice versa). We just have to hope it will happen again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History is full of lower seeds beating higher seeds (and vice versa). We just have to hope it will happen again! True, I think the annoying part is Lou seems to make this kind of comments too often. Like I said earlier in the thread, I would never say something like "we lucked out and got the easiest road to the title game" ... There is no easy way to the title game in any frozen four. If you play yourself into the F4, other teams should consider you dangerous. Whatever, I just hope the boys show them the path is a little more difficult that Lou thinks.

siouxfan512 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Then again, Lou is a sports personality now, not a player. No big deal if he looks past us; I'm sure Lucia and his team are focusing on this game. Should be a great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringneck28 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Former Minnesota North Stars and Golden Gophers great Lou Nanne was on KFAN with Dan Barreiro Monday and he had some interesting things to say the Frozen Four. Apparently, Lou seems to think that the Gophers are going to roll through the Frozen Four. (26.30 mark) "I think that we lucked out," Nanne said. "We definitely got the easiest road, playing North Dakota. Not that North Dakota is a bad team. But they're definitely the weakest team of the four. I think we lucked out because Union is playing Boston College." Thanks for doing what I asked you to in yesterdays post. I think Lou is delusional as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringneck28 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Someone already brought this up....and it is still accurate. Thank you for the credit, I did bring this up yesterday and asked Goon to post the link. What I find funny is Lou's grandson signed to play for Ohio. Should tell you something about Lou's pull with Minnesota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 a trip to the woodshed is in order for this very arrogant minn squad I am going to let the chips fall where they land. UND is very capable of beating any of the teams in the tourney. They also could be beat... No clue how this one ends. There's some similar comparisons that seem to 1997, but also 2000, but also to last year's NCAA champion Yale. Like told my brother-in-law, the team has already over achieved a bit this season. Anything is a bonus right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont feel that way about any other team though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
