WCHA First Round - Minnesota Hosts UAA (Let's call it the vengeance series)

Just like Hakstools experience in choking in 5 frozen fours will not help you guys out this year, UAA is road kill.

The Sioux have no business having first round home advantage for the WCHA tournament let alone making the NC$$s this year with all of their losses so anything from here on out is gravy... the goofs however have oodles of talent but decide when and where they want to show up for hockey games. You should enjoy winning the MacNaughton, as it is one of the great trophys in college hockey, because it is only a matter of time before the goofs decide to show their lack of heart and get upset again.

and yet, the Gophers were picked to finish 6th in the league, and they won it all. they were by far the most overachieving team in the wcha this year, and who would have guessed they would have by far the best defense. now, after winning it, people like you say they underachieved?

they haven't won anything yet, remember happy?

btw, the only reason that UND was picked so high preseason after all of the players that left is because people were sick of NoDak always playing better than the way they picked them to. the only reason the goofs were picked so low this preseason with all of that talent was because people had gotten used to them playing with no heart and shi++ing their season down their leg every year.

After the series against Wisconsin, I don't know what will motivate the Gophers. A series at home, against their rivals, for the MacNaughton, couldn't motivate them to start playing until the last 15 minutes of the Saturday game. The Gophs just seem intent on coasting. Maybe at some point Lucia points out it is the playoffs and now is the time to play all 60 minutes.

Slight exaggeration. Other than some good stretches in the 2nd, MN played with a lot of jump most of Saturday. They just couldn't bury it earlier. Friday on the other hand, they looked ok for the last 2 minutes....

There are three major trophies a college hockey program can win during the season. The underachieving Gophers have won one of them.

So they have won something? You can't have it both ways.

I think winning the MacNaughton is one of the hardest if not the hardest thing to accomplish outside of winning the NC$$ tournament. It is certainly a better accomplishment than winning the WCHA tourney. Goofer fans should be proud of their team to have won it, I know I've been proud every year UND has. The reason for that post is because happy likes to remind UND fans that the only thing that matters is winning the NC$$ championship, and that UND can not because they choke at the F4.

Happy has been around here for a long time he has seen countless UND fans say the only thing that matters is the NCAA championship.

Obviously, you get it but many UND fans don't.

I have had 7>3, 7>4 and 7>5 sent my way at least 1000 times. I predicted that once the CHL made changes to stop the border crossing of much high level talent, UND would become more like Minnesota, have to have more Americans, be younger, and depend on less reliable talent. I find it most humorous that now that UND doesn't have all those overage Canadians, they can't win the big one.

UND needs a former gopher coaching their team to win ncaa championships. it becomes evident every time they choke and their fan base starts crying for blais to come back to them

looking forward to the gopher-alaska series and (hopefully) a first round bye into the final 5.

The series from last year still stings.

VENGEANCE

If this is the attitude then UAA has already won.

Not the series, just the fact that Minnesota has to take vengeance on UAA.

LOL

I can see your point of view. Still, that one hurt and I don't think it'll happen again.
