Gma loves hockey Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 In today's Herald, page B3 is an article called Gophers notebook. In the 3rd column is a comment by Gopher deputy athletic director John Cunningham that starts "Gopher Hockey has the most passionate fan base in college hockey". After I got done laughing I decided I was being nasty, it could be that both of their hockey fans are passionate about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to apologize, I don't want to read about them either unless it's after losing in the 1st round to a #4 seed again. I was merely trying to create a distinction between Mick Hatten and Jess Myers, one takes his job seriously and does it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightingSU Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 WTFF??? I don't think gopher hockey or especially bison football needs to be ANYWHERE in the herald. Why does Fargo INSIST on trying to like hate on GF. Move on. GF doesn't care about Fargo... why does Fargo care so much about GF. They are jealous. I hate Fargo sooooooo much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetsahead Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 This was the article announcing Hatten's hire: http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4512217-mick-hatten-hired-lead-forum-communications-expanding-sports-hockey-coverage. It appears the idea was to expand coverage of high school and college hockey in the readership area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Last night is exactly why I worried about offense this season. One bad bounce and the game was lost. There was no one there to generate any counter punch offense, much less anything to make that bad bounce of no consequence to the outcome by having a lead built before that event. As I've said, in the 1980s when the average game had 9 goals scored total (per Schlossman), one bad goal was 11% of the scoring. Last night, one bad goal was 100% of the scoring*. I don't want bad luck deciding games, I want talent deciding games. I don't want hockey to become soccer with 1-0 games considered spellbindingly fabulous events, but it is. Even if it means changing something like net sizes or goalie gear I'd like a bad bounce to go back to being a small percentage of scoring in a game. I want to see talent decide games.** *Ignore the ENG. **Some of you will say what about goalie talent. I'd say sure. Show me. But where is it? Today's goaltending is about wearing grandma's couch cushions (compared to earlier gear), a glove that is the size of a dart board, and a blocker that is measured in square feet. The talent is mere positioning with the cushions and sundries all stacked orderly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'd like to know UND's conversion % on Grade A chance so far this year. My guess is it is around 5%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXELEVENS Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 So just seen Brads post about Blaisdell having 6 points last night and it got me thinking is the coaching staff choking the talent out of these players when they get here? Most of these guys scored in juniors and now they can’t find the net, Guch, Weatherby, Adams etc. Berry’s systems block creativity? But we have culture and history that should be enough to spur us on. Something is way wrong with this team and this is the second season of it. These players don’t just stop scoring ?

Snake Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 It’s nice to see that at least the message board is unifying in disdain for the product on the ice instead of bickering about other things. Brilliant ploy by the team. “Maybe if they hate him, they won’t have time to hate each other.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
