Lou loses a lot of credibility with me in general for being a main spokesman for UM having only MN players and he played for UM but came from Canada himself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Nanne was a halfway decent GM the North Stars would still be one of the greatest monikers in pro sports. He cries "wolf" like this constantly but some townsfolk still believe it every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tnt Posted October 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hopefully our team knows just how important those games in Minneapolis are going to be for the gophers. Sure, it will be important for us as well, but they won't have a game that creates that much atmosphere against the defending National Champions and heated rival for a long time. The East Grand Forks boys need to impress on some of the new guys the need to keep the "Golden Boy" image that Nanne espouses left with a bit of tarnish on it after the rivalry weekend. One thing I guarantee you about that weekend, is that if the gophers win, the faithful will say how great the rivalry is and what a shame it was that it took this long to play, and if they lose, they should have never played us again because we are just a bunch of cheap hacks. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petey23 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I like Lou Nanne. His segments with Barriero are fantastic. sure, he is a Gopher homer but he also isn't afraid to call them out. My favorite quote from Lou a few years back heading into a Sioux-gopher weekend and the whiney gopher fans had been calling in and crying about how UND was cheap and rough and dirty, etc. Nanne said he didn't see it that way and said something along the lines of ....people need to remember that in hockey, physicality is a skill and it is a skill that the gophers do not possess and one that UND excels at...he elaborated on being tough in the corners and in front of the net, taking a hit to make a play, finishing a check but not taking yourself out of the play, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Nanne was on KFAN today and said he wasn't impressed with UND after seeing them in person. Said D and goaltending weren't strong. Of course he says the goofs will be good. But I know he has no bias. I don't dislike Nanne as much as I used to. His opinions are usually fairly reasonable. I think anyone could looks at those last few games and say UND didn't play their best hockey (score aside). We put up goals, but did not play as clean our fluid as we will later in the season. I've heard him speak highly of UND at times as well, so I don't think his opinions are usually unwarranted. Bias or not, the guy knows hockey. We'll see what his opinion is after the UND/MN series.

In my humble opinion, I would trust the random UND fans on this message board. Lou Nanne is a shill/cheerleader for the Gophers and said some pretty funny stuff in the past. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is they haven't played that way for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the Gophers happen to win one or both games, that doesn't change anything. Cheap hacks are still cheap hacks in defeat as well as in victory. It makes so much sense that you are a Gophers and Penguins fan. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpaw Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The second video for Stump the Coach from the NCHC is up. This time it's DU.

Godsmack Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'm too lazy to do the digging but my guess is, UND has not been the league leader in PIMS oh, say the past five years. Our team and game has evolved, we don't have a roster loaded with 6'5" 230 lb D men and forwards who like to fight (this is not a criticism of past UND teams, simply an observation). When I think of UND's blue line these days, I think of guys like Simpson, Genoway, Stecher, etc. Fast, offensively gifted D men. Am I wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post burd Posted October 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2016 I have some friends high up in the Gopher organization. It is a poorly kept secret there that Lou began to decline rapidly after ZPar chose UND over UM, despite Lou running down to Fairbault and getting down on his knees before God and his roommate. Some said he began to wear panties around that time, but all the gopher players wear them, so that's probably just coincidence. . 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. Beavers play have played us pretty tough. Quite a few splits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Series History from UNDSports.com UND had lost just twice (27-2-1) in the first 30 meetings between the two programs, but the series has narrowed in recent years with UND winning just once in the last five matchups (1- 1-3). The two teams played to a 4-4 overtime tie last Oct. 16 in Bemidji, but UND bounced back with a 5-2 win on home ice the following night in Matt Hrynkiw’s first collegiate start. Brock Boeser scored a hat trick in that game, his first home appearance at North Dakota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tied and won last year as noted, and the year prior was a split, losing 5-1 at home and winning like 3-2 or 2-1 in Bemidji. (I remember this because we left my cousin's wedding reception early to watch the rest of the game).That puts us at least with a 2 in the win column.
