PCM Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 All "Minnesota Rule" crap aside, isn't the play-in winner playing on short rest the appropriate way to reward the #1 seed? Quote
PCM Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Times change, change with them or get left behind. When Brooks was coaching Minnesota got 99.9% of all the Minnesota kids they wanted. They came right from High School. Now ther are 5 div. 1 schools in the state and most kids do't go to div. 1 from HS. We may, ok we are arragont but most Gopher fans would not want to go back to recruiting only Minnesota kids. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good points. I never had a problem with Gopher fans being proud of their all-Minnesota teams. I completely understood their pride. What I did have a problem with was those Gopher fans who used the all-Minnesota teams as an excuse for the Gophers' lack of national championships. Those sames fans acted as if other teams in college hockey were somehow "cheating" by not emulating Minnesota's self-handicapping recruiting practice. Quote
sagard Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Just the idea of it shows the arrogance of minnesota and its hockey. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Newsflash. Us Gophers fans aren't the only ones capable of arrogance. Quote
Cratter Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Newsflash. Us Gophers fans aren't the only ones capable of arrogance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Coach Hakstol said he will from now on only recruit hockey players from the state of North Dakota. Those currently on the team or have signed letters of intent can stay. Hakstol thinks that North Dakota is so good at hockey it doesn't need anyone else from "outside" to help it win. Someone then asked what happens if a blue chippah, say a future Zach Parise, wants to attend UND. Hakstol quickly said no. This is about pride, and we will show the country we are the best. He was also quick to point out we like others who are like us, and cited that team chemistry will rise instantly. Quote
Mad Man Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Newsflash. Us Gophers fans aren't the only ones capable of arrogance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed, Maine, BC, Wisconsin, Michigan and Alaska Anchorage all have their share of Arrogant fans. Quote
fightingsiouxfan Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Newsflash. Us Gophers fans aren't the only ones capable of arrogance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would just like to know where you heard this from, typical gopher fan always comin at the sioux with no sources. Quote
redwing77 Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I would just like to know where you heard this from, typical gopher fan always comin at the sioux with no sources. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sagard is one of the more level headed not-so-arrogant (sagard, you ARE a Gopher fan, so... guilty by association ) poster on this site. The fact is, as much as you'd like him to be a troll, he's speaking the truth. There are some posters on this site that, at times, I feel are arrogant. If you want a variety of arrogant fans, go to USCHO.com's fan forum and look through Badger, BC, BU, Maine, and UNH threads. There is arrogance in every league, every sport, and every team's fans. Just we're not so much Quote
Goon Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Newsflash. Us Gophers fans aren't the only ones capable of arrogance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually I found out that the BADger fans and their band are ignorant. Thank God they went home last night. Quote
Fedorov Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I don't know if this is the right thread or not, but why do we have to play the afternoon game today? Quote
PCM Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I don't know if this is the right thread or not, but why do we have to play the afternoon game today? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think this is the thread where we're supposed to talk about why nobody makes a college hockey video game. Quote
WPoS Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I don't know if this is the right thread or not, but why do we have to play the afternoon game today? Quote
PCM Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Well, let's see the Gophers lose tonight and get screwed by their own Minnesota rule because they will have to play the afternoon game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, but the Gophers can't lose tonight because it would ruin my bold prediction. Quote
redwing77 Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Sorry, but the Gophers can't lose tonight because it would ruin my bold prediction. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It wouldn't ruin mine! I have the Sioux beating the Goofers in the 3rd place game! Quote
PCM Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 It wouldn't ruin mine! I have the Sioux beating the Goofers in the 3rd place game! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Since when did your predictions take precedence over mine? You have a lot to learn. Quote
PCM Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 PCM, this weak one is getting out of hand. I will take care of it. RW77, Yzerman wants to meet you tonight at REA. He wants to meet you at the Olympic Ice enterance tonight at 12. He only has time to meet you, so come alone. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote
Goon Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 This is scarier than Anderson's officiating. I mean, the Twin Cities already have to top 5 worst drivers in the nation WITHOUT inclement weather! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't worry, I am not driving this weekend. I will be consuming adult beverages, and it is not wise to drink and drive in the cities too many cops. I can imagine there were a lot of weaving on I-94 east last night back into Wisconsin. Thank God they took the band with them. Quote
