Goon Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 yah, but that was with a cream puff schedule! I just think in the long run the rotating goalies hurt your post season play more than anything else. W/O the top dog ready for end season games by knowing he is the go-to-guy, it seem that inevitably they end up losing that critcal game. Case in point, the loss at the X last spring...IMO at some point you got to pick your boy and let him play the games. WPoS IMO I believe Parise was the go to guy. Back to Minnesota. UND is better off in goal than the Gophers, so I am not going to fret about our rotating goalies. Quote
Goon Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 At least not Jordan Parise's fault. If UND would've lost a high scoring game, then maybe you are right. But when they get shutout, who knows. Good point. The guys gave up one friggen goal. Quote
sagard Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Keep dreaming, when Minnesota wins 7 NCAA title then come talk to me. I guess no one has started the 7>5 thread yet so I guess its time to get it going. Let the flame wars begin. Come on Goon. Use the 7. Quote
cfm567b27 Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 The trash talking has officially begun. Quote
WPoS Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Come on Goon. Use the 7. I'll remember that Goon! When it does happen it will be interesting to see what the UND-ers have to say then! Back to TV, IMO he's gone and we should move on, let the young 'uns prove to the league and nation we have the best reload in the country! WPoS Quote
ScottM Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 The trash talking has officially begun. Whoo hoo! Just over a month to go!!! Quote
cfm567b27 Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Whoo hoo! Just over a month to go!!! Audi RS6? Quote
sprig Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 let the young 'uns prove to the league and nation we have the best reload in the country! We haven't forgotten what the Sioux did a few years ago with 10 frosh, and a very good frosh class at that. Good luck to the Gophs (not). Quote
ScottM Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Audi RS6? A4 3.0 Quattro, will probably have it "chipped". A fried just took delivery of an S4 w/ V8. M5? Quote
shep Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 I worry about the Sioux ability to "replace" Bochenski and Parise, two players who, because of their unique skills, are truly irreplaceable. So many guys have to step up. Maybe it will happen (I hope it does) but I believe that their absence will be obvious for the first two months at least and there will be many times during games that we'll see a play and think "Parise would have made that pass" or "Bochenski would have put that one in." Never count the Gophs out especially if they get a Mariucci playoff game. They worry me with or without Vanek. Then again, perhaps my gloomy view is conditioned by the fact that I am also a Boston Red Sox fan, and to me the Gophs are like the Yankees-never count them out. Quote
cfm567b27 Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 M3...The M5 is a few years down the road after I let someone else absorb the depreciation To be honest I'm EXTREMELY happy with the M3...Best car I have ever owned. That RS6 is a rocket I hear. Now back to Sioux/Gopher Hockey Quote

Hey Shep..I agree with your post to the letter. Boston Red Sox fan? Native Bostonian here.......3 1/2 back as of this morning Quote
shep Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Hey Shep..I agree with your post to the letter. Boston Red Sox fan? Native Bostonian here.......3 1/2 back as of this morning We (Red Sox fans) CAN NOT talk about the games behind or something bad will happen. Let nature take it's course w/o jinxing it, is my view. This morning they were talking about it on Mike and Mike, and I changed the channel so as not to hear it. Btw, the pen darn near blew it last night. My apologies to the board for the Red Sox digression. This time of year gets me crazy. I'd love to be in Fenway for a playoff game (if they make it). Quote
Godsmack Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 I had the unfortunate position of sitting in the lower bowl on the UND blueline and I saw DU's winning goal against the Sioux. There is no way Parise can be faulted for his play in the regional nor the goal itself. The DU winger/defenseman made a cross ice pass in which the other DU player one timed it. Then, it was deflected at least once. Parise was in position, anticipating the shot, he was just frozen as he did not anticipate the deflection. There was a lot of traffic in front of him. Props to DU for playing a great game; they really bottled up the Sioux in the last 2 minutes. I could've cried. Quote
TC_transplant Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Honestly, I laugh at people that are mad at Jordon for not winning the regional championship game in Denver, some how it is his fault and he played poorly. It was a one goal game for christ sakes, how many one goal games did Kellen Briggs have. Ha... Briggs had 10 games in which he allowed 0-1 goals, including four shutouts. UND's rotation had 15 games, including two shutouts. And as "bad" as Briggs is, his freshman numbers are considerably better than Robb Stauber's freshman year. Quote

Figured we would see him at the first sniff of anything that wasn't "pro-Gopher". Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 And as "bad" as Briggs is, his freshman numbers are considerably better than Robb Stauber's freshman year. So what? All that means is Jordan's stats were also much better than the former Hobey winner's, which in a sense furthers the point that Sioux fans make about UND goaltenders - so thanks! But in reality it is an irrelevant point because it is comparing apples and oranges - at this point anyway! Quote
Goon Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Come on Goon. Use the 7. Actually I don't know how to do that. I am not very Computer savey. Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 The Gophers Stink!!! After all, their colors are brown and yellow . . . . Quote
Jackson Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 After all, their colors are brown and yellow . . . . They are? Quote
U2Bad1 Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 gold is a glamorous term for yellow and maroon is pretty close to brown Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Not to beat a dead horse with the # of NCAA titles issue, but has anyone noticed that ANOTHER team now has more titles than Minnesota? Yep...that was Denver's SIXTH last season, although the first in a long, long time. 6>5! Quote
