Oldguy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 This is not a hockey moment per se, but I remember about 30+ years ago when the Minny cheerleaders skated a sign that read "Minnesota: America's Team". The fans at the old Ralph were so enraged that they started throwing things at them. The funny part was the next day on the news, when Pat Sweeney (if I remember right) put together a video segment on the sports news of that, and added in a clip from SNL: "They pelted us with rocks and garbage"!

From standing in line for hours with a bunch of friends, snowballs at the bus, etc. The crowd during the timeout in the 3rd was crazy. Instead of settling things down, it cranked the crowd up several notches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweethockey Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 All of these memories wrapped together makes me happy! the “timeout” game was my favorite, getting ribbed by gopher fans while the team was getting beat. The timeout, what an amazing change in the team’s play and the gopher fan’s demeanor. It was great!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I turned to my Gopher fan buddy when we scored and said UND is going to win this. Just felt the buzz. After the second goal he wanted to leave. I did feel bad for DeBus a little bit though because I think his wife and kids were at the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dustnyou Posted October 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 Too many to type. But first to come to mind was The Thanksgiving night beat down at 3M just a few years ago. The gopher couple sitting in front of us got divorced about halfway through the second period. She left him right then and there. That was fun taking over that rink. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 My first memorable gopher hockey memory was seeing Bill Butters get the boot for fighting then seeing him get into a fight with fans as he walked off the ice at what I think was the southwest corner gate at the old barn. Butters was considered a first class bad guy by Sioux fans in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFrog Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 We may not have played in the same game, but it was in our arena and we played the same day ... still counts in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thUNDer Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 12/15/1978- no face masks, wood twigs, punier pads, fights & blood on the ice. Right in front of us trading jabs were Mike Burgraff & Don Michelleti. We won, not so much Saturday night but those two were sporting black eyes & fat lips. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters was considered a first class bad guy by Sioux fans in those days. I'll see your Butters story (which is a good story), and call with a different Butters. November 30, 1979: During warmups, the glass was low enough to stand on the front row seats, put your elbows on the glass and talk to the opponents. Most of the mind-games banter came from the guys ("Hey Neal (Broten), you know you're only on the team because Brooks wants to recruit your brother (Aaron)"). But the most effective mind game came from a petite, cute female in our group. She was from Rochester, and asked Paul Butters, goalie: "did you know that (insert guys name here) is still banging** your girlfriend (insert name here)? She then quoted dates and places ... I'm certain if one of us guys had said that, he'd have climbed the boards and thrown fists. But she was too cute, and smiled an amazing $$$-eating** grin the whole time. ** actually another verb or noun, which decorum prohibits listing here. PS. quick fact check shows we dropped 13 goals on them that weekend. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
