Re: D1 Scores and Highlights
Yes, but they didn't win game one in Duluth nor game one vs UNH; they've won all of their other games, until today.

Impressive. Too, Big Red may have a contender in Crimson. Lindsey Fry has 25 shots in three games. H. seems to have some strengths this annum. Maybe they won't draaaaag along like usual in early season.
Watch Fry- big girl also. From Arizona.

D1 Scores and Highlights
Decent (Dartmouth). LIKE.
Couldn't not note Crimson results. St Lawrence perhaps off day when H. in town. Bay State team might/could challenge Ithaca women...
They have their always some-big, Charles River 'Medicine' (juju)!
May be Arising/Shown early perhaps.
Naa.
They will continue to tease probably. True to form?
Go Dartmouth!

That's good and sounds like there's a lot to like and should be a good challenge for both teams, each missing some of eir players. Just FYI-Johnston has 27 shots in 3 games, Carepenko 25 and Saulnier 7 goals on 8 shots (how's that for shot/goal ratio?) Saulnier and Jenner each have 10 pts in 3 games.

Re: D1 Scores and Highlights
Actually I'm real and I'm very disappointed the Beavers lost on Friday.....I'm sure all Beaver fans are.
Plus I'm obligated to poke at the Gopher fans who, when analyzing a game, figure that the outcome is 100% determined by how the Gophers perform, and that the opposing teams are just collections of random lesser characters who are not in control of their own destiny. In other words, the Gophers only lost because the Gophers didn't come out strong in the 1st period and the Gophers let [fill in Team B's name here] hang around too long and then the Gophers couldn't come up with the big goal in the 3rd, when, since the Gophers were finally actually trying, dominated the game of course. In other other words, if the Gophers play even average, there's no way in hell they'll ever lose to BSU or MSU or SCSU or OSU or UND.
I don't have any hard feelings towards Gopher fans, and I'm positive I would exhibit the exact same behavior if the team I rooted for got 3 or 4 of the top 5 recruits coming out of Minnesota each year--especially towards the other 'poor sisters' from the Minnesota State university system. I don't blame them a bit for looking at the games this way--in fact, they're probably correct to do so--I just can't resist a poke in the eye whenever possible.
And still, I'm disappointed the Beavs didn't sweep this weekend.

Re: D1 Scores and Highlights
Well that's not really true of Gopher fans as a generalization, but it sounds that way often enough, I'll admit. Although I think there's another...ahem...group of fans that are far worse in this respect. The Gopher fans that pay close attention to the rest of the WCHA (some don't) are well aware of the ability of every team to beat the team they support in a given contest. if they don't acknowledge that they aren't paying attention. Although I don't think that applies to anyone who posts in this forum. Gopher fans in this forum have seen the Beavers give Minnesota fits too many times since Sertich took over to attribute a loss to Bemidji solely to lackluster play by Minnesota. I'm not really surprised by a split...just disappointed. Some of what you perceive is due to frustration from those of us who watch Minnesota every weekend and see the noticeable swings from excellent play to something less than a stellar effort. Fans of every team gotta be a little familiar with that experience. I think that's why you'll usually read some griping by fans of various teams about their teams execution, after a loss.

Re: D1 Scores and Highlights
That said, the Beavers did, in fact, play great on Saturday. They could easily have won by a larger margin than they did. Hockey being the screwy game that it is, BSU could have had to settle for a tie despite outplaying Minnesota, because West hit the bottom half of the crossbar and didn't miss a goal by much. My complaint with the Gophers wasn't that they lost to Bemidji -- the Beavers are a quality team, and if you venture into their barn, you'd better bring your "A" game or you're not going to have a fun visit. But that doesn't change the fact that Minnesota was outworked by a wide margin over the first 40 minutes. Sometimes you get beat when playing well, other times the bounces don't go your way, and there are times you're trying, but just not playing well. I understand that. But I do expect my team to give a good effort. One of the most misused cliches in sports is "we wanted it more." But watching Saturday, it was obvious that the Beavers did want it more. I think it is great that Bemidji wanted it, and celebrated at the end when they got it. My questions is, why didn't we want it? I think that would disappoint a fan of any team. Had Minnesota shown up sooner, they may have still lost. BSU didn't miss getting points by much on Friday, when UM gave a better effort. I just wish they'd have worked hard both nights.
You are correct that we can sound that way at times. My opinion is that emphasis on how the Gophers performed is more permissible in our own thread, because they are the topic of that thread.

Re: D1 Scores and Highlights
Also when you are a fan of a team with a strong winning tradition, one that is also currently very highly ranked and is clearly FAVORED over their opponent, you are naturally more disappointed when your team loses (I'm sure BC fans are similarly disappointed after their team was upset by Maine). On the other hand, when your team that "on paper" is not supposed to win manages to pull the upset, it's only natural that you get more excited - as fans of Gopher football were on Saturday when their team came back to beat favored Iowa.
It's great that you were disappointed that your team did not beat the Gophers on Friday, and I'm sure the players and coaches felt the same way, but wouldn't the team and their fans be MORE disappointed if that loss had come at the hands of St. Cloud State? (with apologies to SCSU fans)
