I don't go to Culvers very often. Any Whioux fans want my tickets from last night for some free Culvers?

I think the 90% idea is preposterous. No way the Gophs could win that high a percentage. Or ar we still competing for the most over-top-statement?

Arrogance inflates all statistics.

60% of the time, we beat them every time.

Okay, now let's get back to my point. Do you think the Gophers beat UND 9 times out of 10?

Just to be clear I was talking about the men's team. I'm not sure the UND men could beat the Minnesota women's team more than 50% of the time but they would sure give us a run for our money.

Is the defense for UND that bad?

No.

As for next year, Forbort could leave early. I think he has played extremely solid this year, with the exception of 1 game. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if he came back for a senior season.

I would be surprised if Simpson left early. He is very young (19) for being a junior. He has played better this season, and seems to be improving quite a bit since his Freshman season.

Losing MacWilliam and Gleason will certainly hurt, but I also expect the rest of our blueline to continue to improve. I wouldn't mind seeing Panzarella get more ice time...he's very similar to MacWilliam in my opinion. Add LaDue and Crisfield (and potentially Thompson) and the blueliners should be better.

Also, in looking at this years d-corps, keep in mind that we had a change in coaching there. I think that is at least partially responsible for the below average (for UND) numbers defensively...primarily in shots allowed.

Either way, it's an interesting question, and could certainly be an issue for next season.

Is the defense for UND that bad? Granted this is one game, but my sources say they have underperformed this year. Could next year be worse?

MacWilliam - Graduating
Forbort - Flight Risk? He isn't developing. Is it time to bolt?
Simpson - Flight Risk?
Gleason - Graduating

With only LaDue and Crisfield coming in would they accelerate Keaton Thompson? In looking at other future D recruits Hak is still going after the big, burly D that may have the same foot speed as me.

Okay, now let's get back to my point. Do you think the Gophers beat UND 9 times out of 10?

Sorry, I was rewatching the 3rd period from last night. And, yes I think the Gophers win 90% of the games played against that UND team if both teams play to their potential. The biggest difference is defense and goaltending. That is where the games between these two teams are won and lost. UND is worse in those facets and loses.

[Go4PuckFan2.0]

Yeah, they capitalized. Doesn't mean they would have scored even strength. Just saying obviously UAA was in position to win the game with 5 minutes left. So maybe they beat the Gophers 1 or maybe 2 times out of ten. So to say the Gophers beat UND 9 out of 10 games is PREPOSTEROUS.

Is your hypothetical banner that "Jan Brady U" is hanging going next to the "Yay, we beat the Gophers. Our season is complete" banner that you Gophers fans have imagined.

As Gopher fans, we have no reason to imagine banners.

But what if UND changes their name to the Fighting Ditka's?

You totally redeemed yourself with this one. Nice work.

Okay, now let's get back to my point. Do you think the Gophers beat UND 9 times out of 10?

No, but I don't see any situation where they lose that game against Anchorage either. Which was my point.

I think the Gophers are better than UND, but not 9/10 games better. Like I said before, the Gophers and UND are pretty evenly matched offensively. Gophers might be a little bit deeper offensively. But the Gophers are a better defensive team, especially when it comes to goaltending.

Yes.

[Tipsy McStagger]

That banner as well as the "we won an NCAA game" banner, yep.

I think the imaginary banners now outnumber the actual banners that St. Cloud State has hanging.
