sagard Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I want Hauser to return, everytime he played the Sioux, he crapped himself and let in a ton of goals There have been worse Gopher goalies. Hauser did win at both the old and new Ralphs'. Of course I think he may have been pulled in both arenas as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped hating the Sioux when Blake left. Would any of you consider saying that about the Gophers now that Hauser is gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spfreak Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Unlikely. I stopped hating the Sioux when Blake left. Would any of you consider saying that about the Gophers now that Hauser is gone? No. I hate the Gophers no matter who plays for them. Dagwood Don is enough reason to hate the Goofs in and of itself. Not even going to mention how much everyone (even teammates, most likely) hate Vanek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagard Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Please cite your source for Vanek's teammates not liking him. Thanks. That's Rick. It is/was probably accurate for some of the players at some points during last season. However, I'm guessing nobody would have said a bad thing about him in April of '03 and also I doubt any player would go on record saying that they hope Vanek leaves. I could be completely wrong and Rick could be completely right, but the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Vanek is a cancer in the locker room, its also come up in the media. Sioux fans we heard hennesey talking about it last winter on the coaches show or maybe in the morning but Tim has brought this up. Its been out there for a while. T.C.

Hammy Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 That's Rick. It is/was probably accurate for some of the players at some points during last season. However, I'm guessing nobody would have said a bad thing about him in April of '03 and also I doubt any player would go on record saying that they hope Vanek leaves. I could be completely wrong and Rick could be completely right, but the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. While I enjoy a juicy rumor about something revolving around a rival program as much as the next guy, most of the comments on this thread about Vanek are pretty much nonsense. I don't go to as many of the Gopher road games as some people I know so I don't see as much of the interaction between the players on the road (where full team interaction is at its closest) as they do but somebody I know who does extensively travel with the team had the following to say. "The "vanek is a cancer in the locker room" is nothing more than grand forks wishful thinking. Any concern fellow players might have with Thomas is not how he acts in the locker room or getting along with the players. From what i've seen its that they want him to deal with things better when he is having an off-night. But as for getting along... that's ridiculous. I am with these guys at airports, after games, in restuarants, etc. and the guys like being around him." I realize I am on "enemy turf" but I think much of what is being said here is slanted more toward what the audience desires to see as opposed to what is actually going on. I totally understand that as it happens elsewhere too. Of course, it is up to you to decide for yourself but anybody around the program knows much of the slant on here about it is a fallacy. Back to your regularly scheduled fest of half truths and slandering the enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall I scurry off and post that in roughly half the threads over in POI as well? What did Don Lucia mean when he was quoted earlier this year (in MSP media, and still on http://www.prideonice.com/) when he made his notorious post-game, gesturing toward a silent locker room, statements: ''Ask them,'' (Lucia) said, . "They're the ones who have all the answers.'' Clearly there was a rift in the Minnesota room. Who was the cause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammy Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Shall I scurry off and post that in roughly half the threads over in POI as well? As I said, it happens elsewhere. I am fair enough to point out it happens there at times as well. As far your quote from Lucia, taking the comment of a head coach that was frustrated after a disappointing/frustrating loss and extrapolating it to mean there were major issues between certain players is a bit much. Especially focusing it on one player. I don't see how you see the name "Vanek" when he specifically mentioned "players" in general. If I recall correctly, the comment in question was made not because of any rift but because he felt the effort wasn't there and felt the team needed to explain themselves because they weren't doing the right things that game. Of course, maybe you read in between the lines and see things that aren't there. I can't answer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I asked a question because I don't know: "Who was the cause?" You replied, " ... the comment in question was made not because of any rift but because he (Lucia) felt the effort wasn't there ... " Let me reiterate a key part of what you said: " ... the effort wasn't there ... " Does anyone have a tape so I can see who wasn't putting out the effort? I think I'm more than reasonably safe to assume it wasn't Riddle, Koalska, Ballard, or Grant Potulny letting Lucia down. I'll need to see the tape to figure it out from there.
