Geez remember when Cooley was down to us or UMN?  That would have been something.

The 1 got fireworks and you called it a tie....weak....

Still remember the guys in front of me hugging like the team had won game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.  The look on their faces when I told them that the game officially was a tie…priceless.

Meh.  I’m not sure he would have fit in with our “culture.” 

[Wilbur]

So show of hands....Kleven does a forearm to the head of an opposing player.....5 minute major for sure right....amiright? 

 

[MafiaMan]

7 straight goals by Minnesota…is that North Dakota’s defense out there wearing Canisius jerseys?

Maybe more!

Man did Canisius just implode over the last 25 minutes.  Brutal to watch after they played so well the first 1.5 periods.

[MafiaMan]

I realize the series against Canisius was a few seasons ago now and it’s not truly a fair comparison…but the talent chasm between Minnesota and North Dakota right now seems to be rather wide.

You could've just compared the two teams based on the series they played at Mariucci a couple months ago.
Two OT games, one win / one loss.

No No lets make up hypotheticals to make UND look bad

I suppose I could just go with which team is 1 win away from the Frozen Four as opposed to the one that needed 2 more wins to reach 20 on the season, eh?

[SuhakiYeahYeah]

I last checked in 30 minutes ago, what in God's name happened?!?!?!

18-15-6.  

3rd missed NCAA tournament in the past 8 seasons.

How are those for “hypotheticals” making UND look bad?

[farce poobah]

I like having four days of regionals.  Big fan of new schedule.

The third period happened, and Canisius wishes it hadn't.

[LuvHockey]

When goofs went up 3-2 we left the arena. What a good choice after watching the blowout that followed from home. It was obvious the goofs had it. Could not stand to hear that m-i-n- (you know) cheer again.

Cornell only has a couple more wins than UND on the season, and they're also only one win away from the FF.
Anything can happen in the NCAA's.

For sure though, UMN was more talented than UND this season...they're more talented than about 99% of the teams this season.
But things are cyclical.  I have no doubt UND will be back.

[MafiaMan]

8 straight goals.  Canisius making the Gophers look like the 1972 Soviets out there. 

[LuvHockey]

BTW good showing (dammit) of goofer fans. About 25-30 Griffs fans too.

Nice cherry picking.  3 more wins, 5 fewer losses, 4 fewer ties.  Sure, anything can happen when you’re IN the tournament…the key, it would seem, would he winning some games and making the tournament.

Cherry picking?  You mean like bringing up a UND/Canisius series from 2019 to use as a comparison to how this season's UM team beat Canisius?  Ha!   

For sure though. 
I'm disappointed on how the season went, absolutely.  But I think they'll turn it around sooner rather than later.
And I'll support them regardless of if they make the tourney or not.

So you think I DON’T support them?  Is that the accusation here?

Accusation?  Umm...ok.

"I'm disappointed"
"I think"
"I'll support"

Maybe an inference that I’m not supportive?  I guess I’m not understanding the bottom line.
