WHAT THE HE11 IS GOING ON IN HERE?!

I leave for a spell and suddenly the Gophers can't win, UMD can, UAA SWEEPS at Mariucci and Scooby is now a fountain of optimism!?

What's next? SCSU wins an NCAA playoff game?

Let this be an example of what happens when you scamps are left on your own accord.

Well, the adults are back. Enough screwing around.

So, who do the Gophers play tonight?

Yeah, you said that. We heard you the first time. We're just not biting.

Patterson named Player of Month and Rau named Rookie of Month for October.

In case you missed it, Gophers also landed a high quality D-man this week in Michael Brodzinski of Blaine. He had schools like UND, SCSU, and Notre Dame after him. Quality catch for the team. He could have played on the NTDP this year but turned them down.

It's an embarrassment of riches. :)

Sounds like another solid recruit added, things are looking up.

Love the 8-1 start, but let's admit it they haven't played Anyone.

Why can't people just be satisfied with them playing well and winning? Isn't it better than 1-8 or more importantly the last few years.

You really don't get the reference nor the gratuitous shot at UND fans?
 
Re: 2011-12 Minnesota Season Thread (Pride On Ice Returns!)

Great sweep!

Agreed.

This team keeps playing hard even when behind, unlike the last few years, which is great to watch.
 
Re: 2011-12 Minnesota Season Thread (Pride On Ice Returns!)

most fun weekend of hockey in a long time.. take a hard fought sweep and hey- kick the sioux while theyre down while we are at it.
 
Re: 2011-12 Minnesota Season Thread (Pride On Ice Returns!)

The Gophers are a very good team. If they can smooth out the bumps during the season the sky is the limit.

First off, you're slightly off base - it's "anybody" not "anyone". :D Just out of curiosity, how far back does the "you haven't played Anybody" schtick go? I *think* I first remembered it making an appearance in the '01-'02(?) season when MN was atop the USCHO poll fairly early in the season, and that refrain was uttered by just about every opposing fan on here. It then morphed into a sarcastic remark to be uttered about every top-rated team, no matter what point in the season it was or who they played.

Also, for the time being, it's *somewhat* true. Vermont, Sacred Heart, and UAA aren't exactly a murderer's row of teams. UND is struggling, and UMD is mediocre (so far). Next up is wisconsin, and they too are off to a mediocre-to-bad start. By the looks of it, MN won't face a real opponent until Notre Dame in January. :p
