Don't slip to the bandwagon zone. I guess that happens when you have a poor team.

Bandwagon? Never but there are plenty of people who have jumped off the cliff.

The incredible value of an education from the University of Minnesota is on display here:

Thats because your coaches have the SUE players buying into there system, you can have all the talent in the world and not be a good team! Your coach has to get that out of his players, the idea is to motivate and get the players a plan to follow to be successful.

Hakstool and his coaching staff do a good job getting their players ready to play, where as Lucia and his staff do not!

Team Canada does have some great players i will give you that, but the Gophers do to! I would probably trade a few but i think they got some pieces build on.

I count at least a dozen obvious typos (excluding the insults). Brilliant.

lol. Keep talking, were sitting on top of the WCHA, the gophers are not even in the top 15-20 teams in the nation. Plus they dont have a easy 2nd half schedule. After North Dakota, UMD, Denver, Wisconsin, they will be lucky to be breathing. I'm not even going to bring it up but this has got to be the gayess video I have ever seen? Its a disgrace to Minnesota hockey and gophers. Growing up in MN and living in MN most of my life I'm ashamed. I know feel dumber after watching that video.

Just saying.

True. Just trying to light a fire under some arses around here, after all this is the Gophers and Sioux playing. And yes I 'm aware we aren't exactly going into the series striking fear into the opponent but with a hot goalie and a few bounces you never know.

Go Gophers!

If your one and only hot goalie gets bounced around this weekend that should light a fire under a few gopher arses.:p

Why would you UND only recruits Canadians.

Friday's game will be the first time in a long time that I would rather watch the Wild than the UND vs. MN game. I guess I don't care as much anymore.

Go ahead watch. It can't be this bad can it?:p

Preview from Gophersports

Weekend Overview: Minnesota jumps back into WCHA play this weekend with a pair of game at No. 2 North Dakota. The Gophers have not played a WCHA game since they beat (3-2 on Dec. 10) and tied (2-2 on Dec. 12) then No. 2 Minnesota-Duluth a month ago. The Gophers, who are tied for sixth in the WCHA with Wisconsin (14 points), have 14 league games left to improve their position before the first round of the WCHA Playoffs.


Minnesota vs. North Dakota: Minnesota is 139-127-14 all-time against North Dakota. The Gophers played North Dakota seven times last year, with Minnesota compiling a 2-3-2 record. The two teams met in the first round of the WCHA Playoffs last year at North Dakota's Ralph Engelstad Arena. UND won the first game 6-0, but Minnesota prevailed 4-2 in the second game. North Dakota won the third and final game 4-1 to end Minnesota's season.

About North Dakota: North Dakota is 16-5-2 overall and 11-3-0 in WCHA play. UND is coming off a sweep of Robert Morris and have won seven straight games. They have not lost since Nov. 20, 2010 (1-0 defeat at Nebraska-Omaha) and are 11-1-1 in their last 13 games. Senior forward Matt Frattin leads the nation's fifth-most proficient offense (3.65 goals per game) with 20 goals in 23 games (four more goals than anyone else) and sophomore goaltender Aaron Dell (15-4-1, .922 sv % and 1.92 GAA) had a 224:31 shutout streak end in a 2-1 win against Robert Morris on Jan. 8. Dell's steak was the second longest in school history. Senior defenseman Chay Genoway leads the team with 17 assists (tied for third in the nation among defenseman).


A Look Ahead: Minnesota has 14 WCHA games left this season and eight of those games are against teams ranked in the top 10 in the USCHO.com poll. The Gophers play at No. 2 North Dakota this weekend and then travel to No. 5 Minnesota-Duluth for games on Feb. 4-5. Minnesota then hosts No. 6 Denver on Feb. 11-12 before traveling to No. 9 Wisconsin on Feb. 18-19.

Bjugstad, Haula Play Well at WJC: Freshmen Nick Bjugstad and Erik Haula missed the Dec. 31-Jan. 1 Mariucci Classic because they were representing their respective countries at the 2011 World Junior Championship in Buffalo, N.Y. Bjugstad played for the United States, while Haula played for his native Finland. The event began on Dec. 26 and ended when Russia beat Canada 5-3 for the gold medal on Jan. 5. The two Gophers faced one another in their first game on Dec. 26. Haula assisted on Finland's game-tying goal with seven minutes left in the contest. Bjugstad, who was the youngest player on his team, then scored the overtime game-winning goal to give Team USA a 3-2 victory. In six games, Bjugstad had two goals and two assists for the bronze-winning U.S. squad. In addition to scoring the game-winning goal against Finland, Bjugstad also scored the goal that secured the bronze medal for the U.S. against Sweden (1/5). Haula had four goals (including two shorthanded strikes) and three assists in six games for Finland.

Re: Minnesota at North Dakota - Get Your Riot Gear

A few of my friends from Minnesota are coming to town this weekend. They asked, what should we expect (as they are Minnesota fans).

Last week, what did someone tell the coach of Robert Morris to expect from the Sioux, when it was asked of him? :eek:

Man, both fan bases have gone quite limp compared to previous years...

We need a suspension.:)

I'm willing to take one for the team but all the Gopher fans are being a bunch of weenies just because their team sucks more balls than Willy Marvin.

I vote for SoCalSiouxFan or Happy. Maybe a twofer.

Right now I am more excited for my kid's peewee team pond hockey on the rink behind our house tonight than the games in GF. I expect the pond hockey to be more competitive and played with more passion.:(

If you want to play that mindless game, we can counter with Goon or any number of others who have a minimal grasp(at best) of the English language.

There may not be as much passion for this series for the Gophers but I can see the game day anticipation building up in GF all the way out here in California. Got my DVR set to record this historic event just in case the Gophers get slaughtered this weekend. :D
