The Golden Gophers @ UND- 10/17 and 10/18

[nascar99]

If North Dakota wins the special teams battle, especially with the PP, this leans UND sweep. If it gets into a tight 5v5 rock fight, this will be an extremely close, classic rivalry series that would suggest split.

The key to sweeping the Gofers is winning on Friday.  No Sioux team has lost the Friday game and ended up sweeping.

Not only that, it makes it that much easier on the diehard fans who don’t want to have to deal with the possibility of our bitter rival having a chance to sweep at the Ralph.  The nerves seem to get worse with age, not better.

Almost Friday.  

Question for those who take a bus to games:

Best bar/restaurant bus for 21 plus?

Best restaurant bus for people with family/friends under 21?

Bdubs has a free bus.

Minny vs BC was interesting. Minny played hard but BC still controlled most of the game.

Some comparison stats between UND and Minny:

PP: UND 66.7% vs UMN 12.5%
PK: UND 77.8% vs UMN 66.7%
Save percentage: UND .923 vs UMN .897
Faceoffs: UND 51.3% vs UMN 49.4%
Average age: UND 21.4 vs UMN 21.3

Special teams could be the difference this weekend.

They might want to fix the “last” list, that is a lot of game in October of 2023

Southgate or Varsity before the game, then any downtown bus after if you're talking 21+.

I don’t see Minny having better than a .500 season and making the post season. They really aren’t very good. Less than a UND sweep this weekend would be a major disappointment. 

I'm not going to try to argue that point based on results so far.  I will say the Saturday Michigan Tech game was flat out embarrassing.  The BC series was much better.  Jimmy Clarke had 3 grade A in the second period that would've titled the game 1-1...didn't happen and that's hockey...and this years squad needs all of those.  

The post season will definitely be a challenge for this years version of Gopher Hockey but then again last year went one and done so really...it is what it is.

The sample size is very small for both teams. Expect the unexpected when these two teams face off.

Imagani that. Pretty much dead even in average age department for both teams. Goofer fans always like to play the card it’s pretty much 23 year old Sioux players taking on their fuzzy chin 19 year old players.

Judy’s only over 21 unless your one the team or a hot chick

That is a factual statement.  Regardless of the outcome...sweep, swept, split...lotta season left for them both with conference play.
