dagies Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Considering how good Toews, Duncan and Okposo are, and Chorney having captained Team USA, and Genoway's slick move to set up Toews' goal: How good was that Shattuck team a few years ago? Also, with Lammy, Bina and Porter all playing very well, and Backes, Potulny and Irmen all drawing paychecks playing the game, how good was Lincoln in the USHL four years ago? While the internet has turned the rivalry volume way up among the fans, I think the lack of vitriol last night between the teams is partly due to a lot of the players being friends and occasional teammates. Okposo and the Shattuck guys, plus all the guys who have been teammates on Team USA the past few years. They are all competitors and really want to win, but I don't think the hatred is where it was even a few years ago when McMahon fought Vanelli's face. I was surprised at the lack of chippiness we usually see between these two teams. You've come up with one reasonable explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THETRIOUXPER Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 All I want to know is, where is tc transvestite today? Going into this weekend all I was hoping for was a good showing by our guys and maybe coming away with 2 pts. After watching the goophs fold up like the heartless little bitches that they are last night, I'm now praying for a sweep. Then, maybe idiots like tc will keep their stupidity off of this board for the duration of the season. But I'm sure that is way too much to ask for. The other thing I would like to point out is briggsy sure looks like he's poised for his normal post-season slump (although I think this has been pointed out several times in other threads already.)

I am willing to bet that Frazee is in net tonight, which will make it a completely different game and our boys better be ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux Traveler Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Who siad it? That when any time you pull the jersey over your head it matters! Quote : Nothing was lost tonight except one WCHA game. Winning is always better than losing but the nature of college hockey makes regular season games nearly meaningless for a team like ours. Remember how the 02/03 team played in January? Remember how UW played last year in Jan/Feb? Remember how the 05/06 Gophers played in Jan/Feb? How did those teams end up? We have a long time to get right. I hope it starts tomorrow. Bottom line for this team is that it will have 4 games to win in April regardless (barring unheard of disaster) to win a title whether we won or lost tonight. http://www.gopherpucklive.com/viewtopic.ph...8&start=450 I don't beleive the players think this way.

jk Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Beating the Gophers is great, no doubt, but the big thing out of this weekend is the two wins and the four points. In the league, here's why: With this weekend sandwiched between an out-of-conference weekend and an off weekend, the four points at Mariucci were the only ones available to UND in a three-week span. If this had gone the other way, UND could have been in a position where it gained no points in three weeks, while some of its rivals could have earned as many as 12. It could have really buried UND into the bottom half of the WCHA. Instead, the Sioux have held their own in this three-week stretch. Here's what the league has done: MN - Earned 2 of 8 points, can get 4 more. SC - Earned 6 of 8 points, done for now. DU - Earned 4 of 8 points, can get 4 more. CC - Earned 1 of 4 points, can get 4 more. UND - Earned 4 of 4 points, done for now. WI - Earned 2 of 4 points, can get 4 more. AA - Earned 2 of 4 points, can get 4 more. MT - Earned 5 of 8 points, can get 4 more. MSU - Earned 2 of 4 points, can get 4 more. UMD - Earned 0 of 4 points, can get 4 more. This off weekend for UND includes these matchups: MN at UAA UMD at DU WI at CC MTU at MSUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 This off weekend for UND includes these matchups: MN at UAA UMD at DU WI at CC MTU at MSUM I understand the reasoning for rooting for Minnesota, UMD, and MSUM but who do you root for with the UW/CC tilt? If CC is swept, it puts UW 1 point ahead of UND. If CC sweeps they are now 5 points ahead of the Sioux. A split would mean that UW would be tied with UND and CC would pull ahead by 3 points. Is my math wrong or is this really the scenario? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagard Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I understand the reasoning for rooting for Minnesota, UMD, and MSUM but who do you root for with the UW/CC tilt? I'd root against DU and SCSU every game they play. If you can stomach it root for UW. The Sioux are only 4pts out of 3rd which is where the Sioux will probably finish the season in the WCHA. If all you want is 5th and home ice, go ahead and root for CC and bury UW. That's what I'll be doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'll be doing. I am not really sure we want to root for UW. CC doesn't seem as good as their record indicates and UW seems better than their record looks. CC finishes up with series against Minn, Denver, SCSU, and Minn St. UW finishes up against AA, SCSU, Tech, and UMD. On paper it looks like UW has a lot easier schedule. I wouldn't mind seeing CC sweep or at the very least a split. UW would then stay behind us in the race for home ice. I think we can catch CC even if they are 3 or 5 points ahead if we play like we have been since the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defense is pretty good, though has spotty bad patches. However, UW has no offense to speak of and that's why I think UW is exactly as good as their record indicates. I mean, we didn't play stellar hockey vs. MSUM but we still took the first two from them using a rookie goaltender no less. The way it looks I'd take: MN/SCSU for 1st/2nd DU 3rd UND CC UW MTU UAA MSUM UMD ( - I think this is the end of Sandelin in Duluth ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojordan23 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 So if it's the end for Sandy in Duluth, you think we can get him back to coach our D-men, and get Lee Davidson back with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 UMD ( - I think this is the end of Sandelin in Duluth ) Word has it that UMD doesn't have the money to buy out sandies contract so look for him to go no where at least next season.

I see UW possibly overtaking CC if they sweep this weekend. I also see us with an outside shot at 3rd but I sure would like another shot at Tech at home.

skateshattrick Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 2,463 days of solid choking................ This one is for TC Transplant and Hextall---381 days since the Gophers last beat the Sioux----381 days of solid cholking..............I was at REA East on Saturday. Priceless. There is nothing like a sweep to shut up trolls like TC Transplant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
