Wilbur Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I'm in such a great mood after the bizen, the badgers, and my Fighting Irish rolling Caleb Williams....it's only fitting to start Gopher week. They lost some guys but still have a really solid group, and we've gotta keep an eye on that Snuggy kid. I'd put the Johannes line on his line and just pound on them with James and Jammer. How disgusting is it that they have a 25 year old Canadian playing goalie? Disgusting.... Fun week as always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still feel the same way about them I did as an undergraduate. GO SIOUX, GOPHERS SUCK!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin G Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Just looked at Goldy’s upcoming games and apparently they’re starting the WCHA portion of their schedule: UND, Wisconsin, Minnesota-Duluth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A non-conference opponent that competes with UND for natties and top-end recruits. Plus, no opponent, conference or non, smells quite the way they do. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The Rivalry is not the same. My excitement is the fact we have the #1 team coming to the Ralph this weekend. A great opportunity for the team to hopefully get a couple wins that will help at the end of the year with the Pairwise rankings. I would consider most of our NCHC opponents bigger rivals. But that is just me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people down here in MPLS could care less. Also, could you name every player on their current roster without looking it up (I'm guessing not)? Back when we played them every year, you could name every player and their mother on that roster. Again, the rivalry died when we stopped playing every year (Lucia even said it when they left for the B10) and the only people that are still pretending like its the same are the ones who keep B#*(*ing about the Fighting Hawks nickname. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what some people said about UND and NDSU because we didn't play each other for a long time. Saturday's insane atmosphere in the Alerus Center says otherwise. Also, Iowa and Iowa State are in different conferences and that rivalry is still alive and kicking. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those people are the same ones who care more about basketball and football, even though neither program has won anything significant in decades. They probably don't even know where Mariucci Arena is. I saw an article about ticket scalpers after realignment who complained that the only time they made money on Gopher hockey was when UND was in town. So I think reports on the rivalry being dead are greatly exaggerated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blackheart Posted October 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 The experts over on GPL are a little worried due to the fact that two of their defenseman, Koster and Chesley, won't be playing due to injury. I'd like to see UND rough Minny up a little like they did over Thanksgiving a few years ago. That was a real beatdown. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa and Iowa state are 120 miles apart and are both in the same state. not even comparable situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
