bincitysioux Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 ........ It just bugs me after he makes a glove save how he flails his arm around like saying, "look at me, look at me!" And I know, I know Wheelers display after the game was not much better. Just becasue Frank Mazzocco (sp?) says he is showboating doesn't make it so. He wouldn't know a boat if it sailed up his butt.

yzerman19 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Going to be wide-open old time hockey this weekend. 3 teams loaded with NHL picks who do not play the trap. Should be a blast. Ned Braden would love it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bienek Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'm quite certain Danny heard me last spring as he skated thru the line with Holy Cross when I yelled out "Where's the jersey pop now, Danny?". In their defense, I think most of these kids learned the stupid "jersey-pop" trick from watching rubes at the Xcel Energy Center do it every time the fan cam strolls thru the arena. On a somewhat-similar issue, STOP DOING THE WAVE! After Wheeler scored his goal saturday night, I was thinking something along the same lines. Lammy, Where's that glove flashing now? But we shouldn't be making a big deal of this stuff. Players from all teams do this stuff like jersey popping, or glove flashing. Like others have said in this thread, we're not on the ice hearing all the "trash talking", so when you score or make a big save, it could be natural to showboat a little just to give it back. We just don't want this stuff to get too carried away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyMom Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I couldn't find the room where they said they were distributing them. I didn't see any posters at all......they must have secretly handed them out to Gopher fans*. I may have an extra WCHA calendar for you though. I'm not parting with my towel......which by the way, we didn't have on our seats-our section got stiffed! So I had one of the kids walk down and grab us some off of the empty seats down lower in our section. (Nobody yells at kids for doing something like that) *conspiracy theory joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeterman Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 It's almost to be expected from a lot of the Gopher fans that show up at the Final 5. A lot of them aren't real hockey fans, they just show up and display their arrogance and lack of respect for all other teams and their fans. I know a student couple from St. Cloud that sat in one of the bottom corners, who were harassed all weekend by gopher fans. The gopher fans were also harassing the Husky cheerleaders. I don't understand people booing for the awards nor the animosity displayed towards other fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrkac Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 exposed? hardly, I actually did see a Sioux fan after the spanking and tell him they spanked the Gophers, so put that where the sun don't shine there buddy! As for leaving early, you can ask anyone I know, I have NEVER left a game early. As for my little "speech", go ahead and put it up as your sig line again for all I care, you are obviously NOT one of the Sioux fans that I could/do respect. Telling a defeated opponent it was a good game has noting to do with if you played or not, it is showing respect for an opponent. If I EVER, and I mean EVER see a post by you that says "us" and "Sioux" and "hockey" and "win" in it, I'll throw that right back in your face. You sir, are a tool. I sure hope WE win this weekend. I think WE are playing well. Let's Go Sioux! btw, great job last weekend, WPoS. You did a great job cheering for YOUR team. And in a classy manner I might add.

pstar Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 all right, the jig is up, you can quote me, "WE as Gopher fans are the most ignorant, arrogant, rude, unhsportsmanlike, crass, unknowlwedgable, and unappreciative hockey fans inthe world. The Gopher hockey team should be disbanded, our ties to the WCHA should be canceled, our Banners torched, our records, title and history expunged, and Marriucci razed. As further punishment, the Excel center should have its refridgerated flooring system removed and converted to a concert only venue so the FINAL FIVE can never be played there again. But that's not all, all revenue ever attained or projected future revenues that would have been collected by Gopher Hockey should be paid to UND as punishment for crimes against hockey and as a tribute to the greatest hockey team, program and fans ever created. Theys have a long history of perfection, infalability and complete supremessing in every aspect of hockey from on ice strategy to behvaior in the stands. I count myself as fortunate for being able to wtiness the UND hockey holiness. I opnly hope to one day touch the hem of your Sioux garments."

You are ripping your employer off by wasting time and energy here. BTW, I can, and will, personally vouch for WPoS. He was at the game, he was cheering hard and cleverly for the Gophers, and he is a fine hockey fan. Some of his famous cheers, however, are still stupid. I also saw him in The John in January at his bitter end, and he did in fact take his medicine from both me and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am one for interaction with GOOD hockey fans regardless of the outcome. We moved our seats this year at the F5 and actually had some good new people to sit by. Knowledgable, respectfull fans, that weren't yelling about ref bias, or "fake" penaties, or any of that crap. I had a good time chatting with them and shared a "that was a great game" after it was all over, as well as props for the all F5 team. That game will go down in my mind as one of the best, most hard fought games between our two respective teams. Damn I wish I had DVR'd it. As for FlagGuy and all the others that pull that nazi crap, I personally hate that, it is stupid and dumb, and I tell the people who do that so. NDH, Mafiaman, missed running into you guys this year, you guys are good eggs. Forecheck did we ever make a bet?!? undacfm, one of these years we got to meet up and share a brew and talk BMW (got mine out Sunday) Diggler, I leave the head butting (and nose breaking) to my best friends! that was crazy!
