nebraska_sioux Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 In the articles leading up to the game they said the Sioux were bullies, and probably their most hated rival. I guess thats because the Sioux are too physical for them, and maybe the Sioux will take over the Gophers spot as being the most hated WCHA team.

airmail Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 They're just buying into Don Lucia's "natural rivalry" propoganda. I haven't yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoteauRinkRat Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 maybe the Sioux will take over the Gophers spot as being the most hated WCHA team. I don't think that will happen, at least not for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxdonyms Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 In the articles leading up to the game they said the Sioux were bullies, and probably their most hated rival. I guess thats because the Sioux are too physical for them, and maybe the Sioux will take over the Gophers spot as being the most hated WCHA team. This surprises me as I would think the Gophers would be their most hated rivals (they're everyone else's arent' they? ). Yet, if you look back to the last 10 years, the Sioux and the Huskies have had some rough games. I know that I personally disliked the Huskies more than the Gophers after Woog left Minnesota, up until last year (Lucia's arrogance have kind of brought them back to the front-running). I disliked Dahl, which contributed to it a lot, but I also hated how the would play the "clutch and grab" game, to slow down or speed teams in the past. I don't think this year's Sioux team has near the physical presence that we've had the past 7 or 8 years. A lot of teams did consider our team to be "bullies" or to play dirty. We didn't see it because we love our guys. So, I guess I can see the Huskies point too with thinking of us as bullies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hockey being a contact sport I would expect the games to be physical. I am not so sure why the media in St. Cloud would write such articles, because the Fighting Sioux also play a pretty up tempo style of play.

BTW, everyone here should know we are the hated rival because of the Sioux name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskies679 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 They UM is definately the "most hated rival" for SCSU. You will not find one SCSU fan in Central MN and the TC Metro that hates a team more than the Gophs. UND is a rivalry for us...a respected rival. The St Cloud Times stinks...don't listen to them. Have a safe weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebraska_sioux Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 But I guess the Sioux are the bullies of the WCHA according to the St. Cloud newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
