WPoS Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Curious how many Gopher haters will be secretly pulling for the Gophes this weekend. What an exciting end for the regular season! WPoS Quote
sagard Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I'm out! I'll be completely behind the Gophs this weekend! Quote
WPoS Posted February 8, 2004 Author Posted February 8, 2004 I'm out! I'll be completely behind the Gophs this weekend! yah, me also, funny about that huh? But I AM curious as to UND fan's response to this issue for their standing. I had every possitive thought they would come away this weekend with 4 from Bucky and help BOTH our teams... WPoS Quote
7>4 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 No brainer. Dogz all the way. First, I want showdown in late Feb with everything on the line. Quote
Snake Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 A split would be fine with me, but... The Sioux need to take care of business themselves, so that's who I'm rooting for this weekend! Quote
UMDDogz Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Are both games going to be on FSN?? Just Friday?? Just Saturday?? Need to know because I have to work both nights, so I need to fire up the VCR. THis will be the most exciting weekend yet!! Quote
forecheck Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Unfortunately, I'll be rooting for the Gophers, and then washing my mouth out with antibacterial soap later. Quote
Diggler Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Unfortunately, I'll be rooting for the Gophers, and then washing my mouth out with antibacterial soap later. Same here, but I'm washing my mouth out with acid. I can already taste the bile coming up into my mouth. Quote

UMDDogz Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I did some checking, and both games are on FSN!! That rocks!! Now I won't miss a second of the action, despite my crappy work schedule. Quote
nodakvindy Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I'm pulling for a split. The Sioux still control their own destiny with the Bulldogs, so no reason to pull for a Gopher sweep. Also, Minnesota is up to #4 in the PWR, notching a top seed and keeping them out of North Dakota's bracket. Don't want to see them on the Olympic ice come tourney time. A split gives us a chance to retake sole lead over the Bulldogs and is probably enough to keep the Gophers in the top 4 of the Pair Wise. This is a huge series for Minnesota, if they are swept it will be very tough to make the top 3, which is vital this year. Quote
UMDDogz Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Ahem, they're TIED for 4th in the PWR with UMD. Personally, I don't see how on Friday night when UMD beat MSU-M 8-1, and Minnesota squeaked by BSU 2-1, Minnesota jumped from 6th in the PWR into a 4th place tie with UMD. Quote
WPoS Posted February 8, 2004 Author Posted February 8, 2004 Ahem, they're TIED for 4th in the PWR with UMD. Personally, I don't see how on Friday night when UMD beat MSU-M 8-1, and Minnesota squeaked by BSU 2-1, Minnesota jumped from 6th in the PWR into a 4th place tie with UMD. possibly because BSU is the top of their league and MSU-M isn't? BSU could probably beat most of the lower 4 teams in the WCHA right now. They are not a bad team. WPoS Quote

Mankato's bad record hurt your RPI and Bemidji's good one helped Minnesota. Also, should Bemidji's RPI get above .500 so they become a TUC, or if they win the CHA tourney and they become one automatically, that will hurt you since you lost to them. Here's my prediction of the tourney pairings if the season ended today. West North Dakota vs. Bemidji State Minnesota-Duluth vs. Ohio State Midwest Minnesota vs. Massachusetts Michigan vs. St. Cloud State Northeast Boston College vs. Holy Cross New Hampshire vs. Denver East Maine vs. Brown Wisconsin vs. Miami Quote
ScottM Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I could care less. I'm more interested in our guys taking care of their own business against CC, and beyond. Quote
redwing77 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Actually I don't find the Minny "squeaker" as embarrassing to the victor as Maine's squeaker against powerhouse UAH. I don't care what Jared Ross is doing. If Maine's anything to worry about, it should have been a blow out. Quote
sioux fan in phoenix Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I wonder what I voted for... Didn't know you were a Sioux fan (the poll is directed at Sioux fans) For me, I chose a Bulldog sweep--anything to keep the Gophers out of the top 3 & as a play-in at the Final Five. I'd like to see rubber legs in the Gophers when they're entering the NCAAs & playing a possible 3 games in 3 days is a good way to achieve that. This is also good in that it forces the Sioux to play their best hockey in order not to fall out of 1st place. Quote
Siouxhockey03 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Looking at the remaining schedule, I'm probably going to cheer for the Bulldogs, because they have a tougher remaining schedule than the Sioux. Plus, I really dont think I could cheer for the Gophers. Quote
Goon Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Curious how many Gopher haters will be secretly pulling for the Gophes this weekend. What an exciting end for the regular season! WPoS Actully funny that you should ask I was eating breakfast at my buddies house in Lino Lakes this morning saying that I want to see UofM sweep the Dirty Blow Dogs. God that makes my skin crawl. But what ever happens, happens this weekend. I don't think UND has to worry if it they had to match up with UMD or UofM in the playoffs I think UND would prevail. Some have a case of wishfull thinking; in thinking that UND is going to tank the season, they got swept in Wisconsin may good Sioux teams have. Being we have two tough games in the 8 games they have left. 6-2 for the last 8 would be fine with me. Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Gophers...I find it easier to cheer for them than most people here. Quote
