Popular Post sagard Posted April 14, 2024 Popular Post Posted April 14, 2024 Glad to see all you long timers are still going strong. I think you guys are over thinking it all. Get amazing goaltending and you have a chance. Anything less and you don't. That is what makes the Gophers last two losses in the finals and this year so painful. Goalies had been great right up until they weren't. Every team is going to be put in a bad spot during their tourney run and their goalie has to buy time for the rest of the team to recover. Doesn't matter if it's not fair, do the job. DU should have been bounced by UMass. But they weren't and look at them now. Denver does the best job in the country in the respect that when they have a great team they seem to win it all at a much higher frequency then say when the Gophers have a great team. UMD similar. UND Similar before Hak. Then you guys just became great every year. This is my second 20 year drought between Gophers titles, so it's pretty comical to hear you all complain about 2016. Any least you all didn't lose to QU. 1 15 Quote
Irish Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 I really think many people have a different understanding of how hocky "luck" happens. You know, that odd bounce, that off someone's skate, or that puck that ends up where no one could predict. If you play in your opponents end, put pucks on net, have men in front of the net or are just plain aggressive there is a much better chance that an odd bounce will happen. The better you play the higher the odds of "luck". Teams that are not in their end that much or don't put many shots on goal have a much lesser chance of the odd bounce. Some teams put themselves in position for luck by being relentless. 2 Quote

Expand During the game Bucci and Colby were talking about national titles, and listed Denver 1st, Michigan 2nd and UND 4th when talking about if Denver wins. These guys just don’t follow the game unless it’s a 1st round pick or a highly skilled player. It’s really sad and the fans deserve better. What sets Alex and Jake/Starmann apart from Bucci and Colby is how prepared, professional, and smooth Alex and Jake/Starmann are where Bucci and Colby always say things that really don’t matter or are just nonsense, and the pace of play seems to fast for Bucci compared to Alex. 5 Quote
Benny Baker Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 Bucci is more interested in making some extra cash by hawking products that say “cawlidge hockey” than he is about actual college hockey. 1 Quote

Blackheart Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 Been out of pocket since Wednesday because had 4 UND Alums and one BC alum fly in for the Frozen Four. Had 2 more local UND alums join us for the games in St Paul. As a group (excluding the BC guy) we decided to cheer less for Michigan (because f*ck them) and DU (can't let them get too far ahead in Natty's) and semi-root for the Beanpot teams. Crowds in St Paul were very manageable at the local taverns during the pre-game beerfest with good representation of jerseys from the college hockey world. Saw a group with West Virginia jerseys on; guessing they are Club level? DU of course finds a way in the first game; attendance announced at over 19k; must have been paid attendance and not actual. (lotsa open seats) Celebrini not that noticeable. BC, in the second game, absolutely crushes Michigan. Very impressive display from the Eagles; they looked very crisp and their breakouts just killed Michigan. Friday was our off day and was reserved for playing pool, griling on the patio and drinking beer. Saturday in St Paul found us at McGoverns again after striking out against a packed crowd at Tom Reids. May have been the Neal Broten signing there that drew the big crowd. It was a little more crowded on Saturday; most of the Michigan fans around us had magically been replaced by BC fans. I thought BC would have no problem with DU but the Pios really stepped up their game and dominated the first period. Getting that first goal in the second was huge for Denver; and Davis stood on his head. BC only had 12 shots after 2 periods and were chasing the game in the third. BC really dominated DU in the third but Davis was not to be solved. So Congrats to Denver...ugh, just threw up in my mouth a little. 4 Quote
