farce poobah Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I agree with those 3 names, in part because UND has faced each in key NCAA playoff games within the last decade: BU 1997 national final, 2005 east regional BC 2000 national final, 2001 national final, 2005 east regional Maine 2000 national semifinal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govikes27 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yep, I think there is a lot of respect towards Maine and BC; maybe New Hampshire to a lesser extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 maine is the only east coast team i will route for if they are not playing us of course or wcha teams depending on the circumstances..BC and BU i dont care for that much and UNH is in the middle... maine and UND will always have a great connection with what UND did with coach walsh's name on their jerseys after he passed away...

Siouxdonyms Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 There always seems to be such a division between east coast and western hockey. East coast fans don't tend to think too highly of western teams, and the same goes vice versa. Of course, the true college hockey fan will look beyond location and look at the actual teams. However, western fans don't tend to think that east coast fans/teams think very highly of the teams in western hockey. It goes back this way for ages. It's funny to watch the movie "Miracle" and see that the same problem existed in 1979. Personally, which many others agree with, I think Boston College, Boston University, Maine, and New Hampshire tend to field strong teams, with solid players. Every now and then, you see a different team in there, but these tend to be the programs in the East that are in the national tournament in March/April. I'm sure the same goes for eastern fans with teams such as North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado College, and Denver. Throw in the two Michigan teams and there are the powerhouses of college hockey. These are the teams with illustrious programs, and the teams that tend to get the top recruits, which is why they are consistently in contention for a national championship.

Sioux_Hab-it Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Cornell must be the powerhouse of the East because the College Hockey Website writers inform us of this fact each and every season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagard Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Wisconsin is really the only eastern team I typically worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxguyinstpaul Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Maine fans are the greatest too as I met quite a few in Columbus last year. They talk funny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Boy Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 We also saw UND face BC in a 1998 regional Wasn't that in '99? No matter. Most Sioux fans (especially the ones that were there) have permanently blocked that game from memory. taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But NOOOOOO, I have to go back to therapy. It was 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Boy Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 ARRRGGGHHHH!! I HAD successfully represssed that vile memory. But NOOOOOO, I have to go back to therapy. It was 1999. Walking out of the Dane after that turdburger I felt the sickest, most nauseating feeling I've had without actual viral contamination. Did not see that coming, for sure, as that Sioux team was so heavily loaded. Even worse was watching the small contingent of BC fans parading around the building cheering and taunting the Sioux fans as they walked out with heads hung low. I remember before the game they handed out green signs with the word "Goal" on it and I commented that I thought they should have put an "s" at the end. I was wrong. Eeeeuuuuuuuggh. My therapy came approximately one year later when Scoren Goren picked the team up on his shoulders and delivered a 3rd period to remember against those very same Eagles. Now the following year, well.... taz needs more therapy in the form of banner #8 (to be delivered by Oshie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drive back to GF right after that game was the most brutal I've ever taken - nine hours to think about our season being over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse was the fact that we had a trip planned to CA to visit relatives and go to the Frozen Four. I remember sitting in a living room in San Diego watching Alfie Michaud standing on his head (what an amazing performance he had!) and wincing in pain as the Blackbears hoisted the trophy. taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
