Gopher fans only have one comeback it seems. You only talk about past success.

Regardless they've had a good start so far to the season, but apparently such an opinion invokes from your fans either, "hang a banner" or comments about recent failures. Nobody in this thread has earned an ivory tower.

And you base that on what?
in terms of gopher arrogance, you are right up there.

What am I baseing your programs history on?

Is that what you're asking?

You really do struggle with reading comprehension don't you.

You said St. Cloud's seasons peak with the Gophers.
What are you basing that on.
In other words, if you want to make that claim, prove it.
Prove that our season peaks with the Gophers.

We hovered around a .500 record. That's mediocre. By GOPHER standards, that's way below average. However, GOPHER standards are other-worldly. Many teams would love to have a .500 record.

For a team loaded with high draft picks each of those years, the record was far worse than mediocre. They were soft, and they quit easily. This year looks different, and everybody, including rivals, should be happy about that. Better hockey.

About to head to the rink, just a couple thoughts about last night...

People who say the SCSU goals didn't display much skill are being ridiculous. All of those were really well executed. Yes, MN made some bad plays to give them a few of those opportunities, but St. Cloud made good, skilled plays to finish them.
And in that light, the Huskies made some mistakes through the first and second that gave the Gophers good opportunities, and MN couldn't convert them.

I think MN played a better game last night than they played Friday in Madison. That is, in terms of puck possession and controlling play, they played better. In terms of limiting defensive mistakes, it was probably about the same.

Most people knew heading into this year that MN was going to have a rough go of it defensively at times, and it would be about generating the offense to compensate. Last night they generated the offense, but didn't finish those offensive chances. I said earlier in the week that we needed Hanson, Budish and Haula to get on the score sheet. Hanson and Haula each had multiple good opportunies, but failed to make them count. Those opportunities likely would have changed the outcome last night.
Bottom line, MN allowed the hole to get too deep before starting to dig out. Credit to SCSU for doing well to put them in that hole while the MN offense was struggling to find the back of the net.

St. Cloud has a nice team, with some good pieces in place. Consistency has been their biggest problem the past few years. I think that is going to be their biggest challenge this season. They are capable of playing pretty darn well, but can they bring that game in and game out?

Sure it was.

That's pretty much what I said. For GOPHER standards, it was below mediocre. For a "normal" team, .500 is indeed mediocre.

Yeah, OUR fans are the ones to overuse "hang a banner."

I think we agree, Brent, and I don't want play cycle-the-comment, but I also meant to say that even so-called "normal" teams would have been embarrassed by the way the gophers have been playing in recent years. "Normal" teams expect hustle and intensity just like everybody else.

But the last 3-4 years are past, and things look different now, which is good. Not that the rest of us will let you forget it if things continue to go well for the gophs.

Ah, I gotcha now. Yeah, the lack of heart was embarrassing. I was simply referring to records.

Prove that our season peaks with the Gophers.

When you beat your biggest rival in the Gophers in front of your biggest home crowd and then proceed to immediately wet the bed in the post season, that would make the victory over the Gophers the high point of the season.

Let me know if you need any remedial help with the concept of 'Jan Brady State University'.

I'm here to help.
