UND @ Duluth

[Wilbur]

Sandy's Dogs got one more point than UND did this past weekend.  UND getting swept by the bye week, and Duluth losing Friday while getting an OT point while not scoring any goals on Saturday in Denver.  

Adam Gajan heads to Italy to be an Olympian while the Shaugabay, Plante, Plante line is no more according to reports.  I'd assume any time there is a power play they'll find a way to put them all on PP1.  

We need to take advantage of their goaltending a man down this weekend.  Coach Sandy probably a bit more collapse mentality defensively without his top guy, but they still can be stingy defensively as we saw Saturday at Magness.

I think they surprise us one night and the teams trade points this weekend.  I'll say 4-3 Dogs, then 5-1 UND. 

Denver and CC clash this weekend, so we are going to need @Godsmacks Springs city kitties to take a couple from the pios as well.

I’ll do my best to cheer CC on to victory over Denver but full disclosure, my track record as a Tiger season ticket holder isn’t very good.

Their big line was split up to start the game but was back together for the last two periods from what I saw in the DU Sat game.  I think it was just a short-lived experiment.
I'd fully expect them to be back together for our series, especially with UMD having last change.

Gajan kept it close against DU...hopefully UND can get a few more past his sub this weekend.

Hate Duluth

Out in the concourse, I had struck up what seemed like a friendly conversation with a Duluth fan at intermission of the Denver/Duluth regional final in Loveland 3-4 years ago….until he went on and on about how he hates Wisconsin and the Gophers but he hates North Dakota and their fans even more (I was wearing a North Dakota hoodie). I turned as he was in mid-sentence and walked away. No self-awareness by this D bag. Out of petty spite, I enjoyed seeing Denver win that game. It’s a good thing I’m no longer bitter about it! 🤣

If it wasn't for UND willing to play games against them in the early and mid 1960s UMD would possibly have never gotten into the old WCHA and would still be in the MIAC.  UND did more to help UMD in those years than anyone to get their program up to major status. They all forgot about that.  Recently UND has helped Bemidji along in similar fashion.

Interesting history that I was not aware of.

TBH I find your behavior kind of odd in this situation and your self-awareness odd.  UND fan are probably the most hated.  UND fans travel the better than any other fanbase.  Fans hate when you take over their arena.  What did you expect?  My response would have probably been yeah the checks out.

Simply attending a regional and having a beer out in the concourse. And he was standing next to me. I don’t find it odd behavior and certainly no rule a fan can’t wear their teams jerseys and stuff.

Also, it wasn’t “their” arena, it was a regional game in Loveland Colorado, not Duluth Minnesota.

We’re grown adults with professions, families, and civic responsibilities spending what could be fairly described as an excessive amount of time on social media talking about a game played by college kids, most of whom are strangers to us.  What ISN’T odd about that?

For clarification taking over their arena was referring part of the reason we are a hated fan base.  It was not referring to that moment.

Then this whole discussion forum is odd. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Sioux fans are hated?  I may have to rethink this whole thing; I'm not sure I can be hated.

Universally?  I figure just Sioux fans like them; especially when only UND victories are posted.

This will be my 4th trip to Daloot, my 3rd on the Fan bus. UND hasn’t lost when I have been in attendance. I feel obligated to go, cheer, and have a beer or two. I believe that we will sweep the series.
