I haven't brought up Holy Cross in years. And I didn't bring it up in my original post. Because it isn't relevant. What the tweet proves is that UND is not "just another school" to them. And that is good. A rivalry like this one, with all of the history and classic moments, should not be allowed to die because of realignment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even CLOSE to as low as ASU's antics after their win in Vegas! Should have been giving us a heartfelt thanks for the opportunity and instead they rubbed our nose in their one off win. To be honest, I would have been disappointed in the Gophers if they didn't acknowledge the circumstances of their presence in Fargo, which they did in that tweet as a direct response to how we handled the Holy Cross game, as mentioned by mafiaman. It's all we really have these days to keep a little bit of the rivalry going.. Anyone remember when Lucia wanted to put the rivalry on ice because it was too "intense", or whatever it was that he said? Would hate to go back to that mindset... BORING!!! The tweet does prove that the rivalry is not dead. That is a good thing. Now we have to clean our own mess up so we can play them in the playoffs again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we need to put a tweet on a billboard to get us fired up for a hockey game against a historic rival. We have bigger problems. I sure am the UND hockey team will be fired up to play the golden rodents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2022-23 team lacked a sense of urgency all year. Anything that would light a fire under their collective arses is fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If college players pay attention to stuff like this they should be back in Pee Wees. True. But to me it would have been nice if the players actually did contemplate the year ending loss last year to Notre Dame rather than just using it as a promotional video for the Ralph before games. At some point something needs to motivate these players, and waiting until they are too far down in the pairwise and having to win out as the only scenario doesn't inspire confidence. There seems to have been a level of satisfaction after last year, rather than a contemplation on how to take it a step further, as witnessed by very poor starts by a number of players, veterans included. I am hoping this offseason is focused like the one previous, but the expectation level for this program needs to be more consistent. It seems like the talk is there, but the actions don't always seem to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2016 Minnesota hosted and didn’t make the tournament but the Committee sent SCSU to that regional (and then they lost to Ferris State and Denver advanced) and UND went to Cincinnati. I think that’s the last time Minnesota hosted a regional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
