Minnesota Gophers Season Thread 2015-16

Great piece from CHN

http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2016/01/15_commentary_lucia_criticism.php


Just the first few paragraphs from the article, which blasts the idiots.

That article read like it was written by a butt hurt UM fan crying because someone said something bad about his team. By my name you can see I'm a UND fan and if they were having a year like UM is having I'd be worried to. But to say that a new coach wouldn't help is a stretch, maybe Lucia is content with losing cause his team is trying hard but that doesn't cut it for a program like UM. And I'm saying that as a compliment because they were the cock of the walk and are not there anymore and its hard to see. . You can use any excuse you want to justify a down couple of years but it still is down couple years. Here's hoping for rebound year next year when UND and UM face off in Vegas!!! Good luck with he rest of the year and please god kick Michagans *** any time you can!

We won 26 games last year. We were in the NC game in 2014, by beating UND, funny.

We have won 4 conference titles in a row, 2 WCHA and 2 B1G.

We will be fine.

With easy scheduling any team can win 25 games with the right schedule. And winning the Big 10 isn't a big accomplishment. Also in the WCHA you didn't win either conference tournaments and you tied with SCSU 12-13 season. But if that's all it takes to make you happy then your team is doing fine.

So UND fans are content with no NCs the last 15 years? Winning the conference tournament is far less meaningful as the full grind of a conference schedule, all of that still ignores NCAA and FF appearances including wins against UND, I could go on but you'll ignore logic for rhetoric no matter what so I digress.

"A run that, oh by the way, is still going — i.e. the team just won 26 games last year. Minnesota has had more titles and national championship game appearances in last 15 years than North Dakota."

Logic of what? That being in the in the FF 8 of the last 12 years and only missing the tourney once is a bad thing? Yes it hurts to lose that close to the ship but they are always there at the end of the season for a shot and only getting stronger while UM is on the decline since they joined the big10 but again if Ok seasons are good with the fans more power to ya!

Is it worth it responding to anyone who has "Drunk" as part of his/her board username?

I know I'm not going to bother.l

Re: Minnesota Gophers Season Thread 2015-16

But I'm out of here before we get an all out war started! Good luck the rest of the season it would be fun to get a UND UM game the tourney!

Re: Minnesota Gophers Season Thread 2015-16

One off year that isn't even over = "on the decline" and ignores their future recruits. Like I said lack of logic.

I need to take my own advice and ignore this junk.

Have you checked the strength of schedule rankings this year??

I'm guessing playing SCSU, Harvard, Michigan, and Notre Dame probably had something to do with that, but I am not sure how it garner's a #2 ranking.

I was surprised too but math is math, and as of today Minny has the #2 SOS and No Dak is at #26 per RPI.

Take a look at UND's non-conference schedule. Not a single game against a team in the top half of college hockey.

And Duluth, Mankato and Penn St are also ranked. That's a pretty solid schedule.

Over .500 at last! Hope they keep improving on that. Also coming within striking distance of a spot in the big dance, but not much margin to screw up.

Critical to not take a step backwards in Madison. Normally you're satisfied with a split on the road, but probably not this time.
