No, not what I'm saying at all. Find the guy who wrote that article, buy him lunch, and have him explain it to you. He gets it. He understands that the only program that is bigger than just a program is Minnesota.

If your best players hadn't gone pro, would your team beat BC?

Gurt, haven't you realize by now that it never matters what you think?
EDIT:
A lot must be because that was really bad and not funny. But then again I just said it doesn't matter what you think so I may have just developped my own catch 22. Hmmm....

Gophers were losing players early at a rate that no other program, until Wisconsin recently, had to deal with. Not that you're interested in anything other than making personal attacks

Means that all other sports programs suck so we eat, live, and Shiat hockey.

wow
I thought the off-season threads would be rather mellow.

This offseason, BC graduated its entire top line and its 4 year starting goalie, then lost the 2 best remaining scorers to the NHL early, and also lost a top 4 defensemen. Yet Minnesota still lost by 6 goals. Envy.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!
You call losing Juniors and Seniors a problem?? Really??? Try losing 20 or so players before their junior year (many one and dones and Okposo mid-season) ina 3-year time frame.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Envy BC? Laughable. Utterly laughable.

Maybe you should try putting tracking collars on your players so you wouldn't lose them.

But..... wait.... oh, I see what you did there. That's very punny.

Wow.
And here I thought that the inevitable low blows would be related to Tyler Hirsch or Ralph Engelstad's Hitler portraits. A new low has been set.
Congratulations?

I agree. It seems Dirty is trying to supplant Dubbs as the great unifier as I can't say I agree with EoDS too often.

I'm sorry. How many of them would have helped you this year? Ness??? Oh how short handed you were. If Minnesota had such talent, losing all these players shouldn't be a problem for you.
I guess the Minnesota program isn't as important as you claim if so many local kids will just leave empty handed
Re: If your best players hadn't gone pro, would your team beat BC?
If Minnesota's tradition is so great and being a Gopher is such an honor, why are so many kids leaving mid-season, after one year and after two years? Envy indeed.

Yeah we did. And no, none of the players would have helped this year, but when you have to bring guys in early because other guys bailed early, it has a cumulative effect that takes a while to straighten out. Ness, for instance, never should have came in as early as he did.
Minnesota's team this year was talented, but young. 14/16 top scorers are returning (or should). Something like 75-80% of their goals. And they didn't have a single senior on their blue line. One junior. The rest underclassmen. So this year they probably over-achieved a little ahead of what should be their best shot. This season.
Re: If your best players hadn't gone pro, would your team beat BC?
And I know one thing...if my team went about a decade without a title and another program won three titles in that stretch, I'd sure as hell have the balls to say I was envious of that program FOR THAT PARTICULAR TIME PERIOD.

Funny wasn't probably what I meant. Just an incredibly low blow that came out of left field and was therefore surprising.
I appreciate the well timed (and even ill-advised) low blow from time to time. I'm flawed that way and that was pretty low, even for Dirty.
Someone dying is never funny, so apologies for implying that dying is funny. The timing within the context of this stupid ****ing match was what I found funny.
