Sodbuster Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 I miss him, especially when calling a Sioux/Gopher game as the Sioux were kicking their a**! 1 Quote

(OT not included) That was a memorable weekend indeed. The first WCHA Final Five in the brand new Excel Center. I had never been in an arena that nice, and wouldn't get to one better for about oh 7 months when the new Ralph opened. During the Friday afternoon semifinal win over CC, Karl Goehring did a header on a floating puck. And on Saturday night with about 6 minutes left on the clock and UND way down, my very confident 8 year old daughter said "I think we will win. We have Panzer." And yeah she thought the goalie was pushed too. Mad about that for a couple days. 2 Quote

Wilbur Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 The first year in the new Ralph they should have went with the green breezers and helmets at home. Nothing wrong with the blacks, but just don't compare to the nostalgia of the green IMHO. 1 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Does anyone have one or both games of the January 31-February 1, 1997 home series vs. Minnesota? That was a crucial series in the Dean Blais rebuilding project. It solidified us as a legitimate title contender and not a first-half fluke. The entire campus was buzzing about the series the week before and the atmosphere was unreal. Quote
Blackheart Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 The Gofers are in town to take on the Sioux at beautiful REA in October of 2009. Alex Kangas in goal for Minny; Brad Eidsness backstopping the Sioux. Apparently Lucia felt this was still a 'healthy' rivalry at this point. 2 Quote
Blackheart Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 October 2004 at the REA...The dirty Gofers are in town but the Sioux are missing Zach Parise and Brandon Bochenski (early signings). Dean Blais is gone as well and has been replaced by Dave Hakstol. Will the Sioux have enough firepower to beat the rodents? We'll see! Note: If you watch the second intermission, there's a point where the camera pans the crowd after coming back after a commercial. It shows some young punks in the crowd goofing around and wrestling with each other. The blonde kid sure looks like a young TJ Oshie. 2 Quote

The home crowd seemed to do more cheering back then. thanks for posting! Quote

My first hockey game was that night, as a freshman in the student section. Made that ticket campout for season tickets worth it (although that campout was a massive cluster****) 1 Quote
Blackheart Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Two familiar rivals playing in the Final Five 3rd place game? The Sioux look to beat the Gofers and solidify their seeding for the NCAA's. Rastislav Spirko absolutely fakes Chris Harrington out of his jock on his way to a huge shorthanded goal. No Robbie Bina in the lineup as he was injured in the previous night's game against DU. (Geoff Paukovich) It's all here! 2 Quote
burd Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 It's been great, blackheart. Thanks again. Who would have thought UND would win all these big games in March-May of the same year. I would guess it's somewhere back in this thread, but can someone post the tic-tac-toe play? I've seen more amazing individual plays but never a team play like that. At any level. 1 Quote
Blackheart Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 The Pony Express looks to deliver the mail against Goldy Gofer in this Saturday night matchup. Game played in January, 2011 at REA. 2 Quote

Blackheart Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 The Sioux face the Gofers at REA in December of 2007. Pretty tight throughout...hope the Sioux get a late period surge! 3 Quote
Blackheart Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 The Sioux take on Bucky Badger in the play-in game during the 2005 WCHA Final Five tourney. Jordan Parise in goal for North Dakota; Bernd (Toast) Bruckler mans the net for Sconny. Robbie Earl for the Badgers up for all conference honors...for the Dive team! 1 Quote
Blackheart Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 The Sioux face off against UMD's Bulldogs in the WCHA Final Five Play-in game. A tightly contested game throughout; who will step up for the Sioux? 2 Quote
Blackheart Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 The Sioux, fresh off their win over Duluth in the play-in game, take on Furious George and DU Pioneers in the Semifinals of the 2010 WCHA Final 5. 3 Quote
siouxfaninseattle Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Always enjoy watching the boys beat DU. 1 Quote
Blackheart Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 The Sioux play their 3rd game in 3 days at the 2010 WCHA Final Five. They face the SCSU Huskies in the title game and they appear to be a little sleepy in the first minute of play. Brad Eidsness shakes off a rough start to lead the boys to a strong finish. Enjoy! 2 Quote
