Stack Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I predict that Derek Sheppard is the referee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Should be a couple good battles as usual. Record books can be thrown out the window when these two teams get together.......but with the way the Gophers are playing right now if we come out of Grand Forks with 1 point I'd be pretty happy. But I'd rather play the Siuox then the Crusaders this weekend, our record up there is much better against you guys. (Had to do a little trash talking for this big series.) With all of the intangibles and tangibles going into these games they could obviously go either way. That said "sweep at home and split on the road" and the Sioux need to start to assert themselves, so anything less than a sweep will be disappointing to me. 3 points won't be great but satisfactory. A split will be less than satisfactory. However, no outcome will be a big surprise and I can't say that I expect a sweep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetch Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I predict wooger will pick the Sioux to sweep (Kiss of Death) the winner of the bubble hockey game will determine if we split or sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Gophs are undefeated when scoring 3+ goals and an 0-pher when scoring 2 or less. If JPL plays like he did vs. DU, I think a sweep is in the making! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Gophs are undefeated when scoring 3+ goals and an 0-pher when scoring 2 or less. If JPL plays like he did vs. DU, I think a sweep is in the making! I think JPL plays better on the road than he does at home. I don't have any numbers to back that up but it just seems like it to me. This is a hard series to call. The Sioux desperately need a sweep but sweeping the Gophers is a tough task no matter what year it is. Play smart, physical hockey and hopefully the sticks will be raised Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I've got bets going on this weekend..... So um yepp, kinda nervous... Oh also... Thinking of making posters for the games. Any clever ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstar Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 My thought, since both teams are lacking this year, is that perhaps one of them could sweep and gain a little juice to get back on track. I hope it's the Gophers, but I wouldn't lay money down on either team to sweep. I just want some good, fast skating, quick passing, hard hitting, nail biting hockey with an on-ice dispute or two thrown in for fun. It's hard to hate the Sioux when you're playing just as bad as the Gophers are. It's a lot easier to hate the Sioux when you are playing good.

brianvf Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 It's hard to hate the Sioux when you're playing just as bad as the Gophers are. I wouldn't go that far. The Sioux might not be living up to early season expectations at this point, but I don't think they are playing poorly. They have beaten DU, CC, and MSU. The Gophers didn't win any of their 5 games against those teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
