CC wins the national championship....I mean beats Denver. The celebration fooled me. 

Apparently you’ve never seen the winner of the Beanpot Tournament skate around with that little bedpan like it’s the frickin’ Stanley Cup...

Yeah, that’s true. I did forget about the CO trophy.

I get the celebration was common among gophers, but is that the only reason "we" rag on it? 

No. It's universally douchie.

UND held their own in close games vs DU this season going 1-1-1-1. I'm regaining a little faith. Old Yeller has been put to pasture in the Pet Semetary and could be coming back to life, eh @MafiaMan LOL.

UND has only scored 3 goals total against Filip Larsson of Denver. 0-2-1 against him. Maybe UND is due but eh...

Denver has been rotating goalies. Devin Cooley played tonight so who knows who they will play in net really..,

Oshie needs to pay Gooch a visit.

Pop the jersey all they want if it gets them to Fargo.

Jones is going to get a penalty for contacting Weininger there on the scrum.  

I guarantee you he is fine....what????  He barely got him???  Is he coming out?

Yup.  He simply came out so he could try to grab the 5 min penalty (perfect timing for it). Yoy. So typical nowadays.

Running into our goalie in his crease on purpose = good goal

Trying to avoid their goalie who is out of his crease = penalty

Yoy, it makes no effin sense.  Give me another beer.

And after the review, Weininger is suddenly healthy again. 

2 effing minutes on Weininger for embellishment!

Unknown injury

Uhh, more like undisclosed injury/illness (somebody knows what it is, surely).

DU will be out for blood after getting swept by CC. 

Maybe they peaked already...

He is not well. Lay off him. 

Uhh, he did not play "well" (maybe he's a great face-off guy or whatever, I'm judging strictly based on points-production) even when he was "well" these last few season.  Again, offensive production aside, maybe he does other small things well (I'm no great hockey mind).

Yeah, that's a serious concern that trumps anything hockey related. Hope the young man gets better.

Amen to that.  Thoughts are with him.

I'm proud of this team. I've been critical throughout the year, but I see a lot of promise. Next year is a Penrose type year, and I expect them to win it. A lot of people here talk about how these guys can play with the top teams. It's nothing but top teams from here on out. Go Sioux!

I'll have what he's having bartender!   Seriously, I do see better things next season ((my God, it better be better)  but unless goal scoring/finishing skills take a big jump we'll probably be looking at 3rd or 4th place in conf play/hopefully make top 12 ranking in Pairwise but certainly not top-tier as like in the Haks days most seasons.  I sure do hope I'm proved wrong but standards/expectations here lately have dropped just a tad for obvious reasons.

No offense or nothing at you (we are who we are) but, man (hey. it's all relative), my, my how standards have slipped these last few seasons.

I hope so, he's been out quite a while.

He was referring to Janatuinen, not Rhett

Kawaguchi has been doing what people had been hoping for from him--particularly possession hockey in the O zone.   Maybe he's just gaining confidence.

The strides he's made from last year to this one are massive. He's helped Yon look like a player the past two weekends. Can't wait to see Gooch in year 3.

If we want an at large bid, winning 2 games against Denver would be better than winning 2 vs Western

This. Two wins against a Top 8 PWR team is what we have to have.

Oh for sure.  I step back and look what’s happened the last few years and am shocked.  Especially with the guys we do have.  But, it was a big win.  And we needed it. Frustrated with what’s happening but still bleed green.

You are correct in that this is the most likely scenario and perhaps the worst in terms of our program.  We improve just enough to make the field due to our talent influx (although leave it to Berry to suck some of the offense out of them).  This is just enough to keep Berry around but nowhere near a return to being a powerhouse.  We stay an ok but never great team for as long as Berry chooses to stay.  Welcome to mediocreville, population us.

[fsioux]

Assume that Mismash will be back in the lineup next week.  Who will sit?  Adams has had some good looks and is definitely more skilled than Johnson.  I think Weatherby is getting close to breaking out and will be a force next year.

[burd]

Overall, I think the over-the-hill-beer-bellied-men did a decent job last night. As is usually the case with this group, they didn't cheer a full 60 minutes, giving up whenever the momentum went the other way.  burd made some dumbazz comments as usual, making me wonder if he's ever actually seen a game.  A couple of times, I thought they were getting so distracted by calls they didn't like that they completely lost focus.   But, like I say, it wasn't too bad an effort, given the mediocre amount of talent they have.  I thought stoneySIOUX cheered one of his better games. 

You have to wonder if they will cheer a full 60 next week in Denver.
