Minnesota hosts Wisconsin: 1/16 & 1/17

Re: Minnesota hosts Wisconsin: 1/16 & 1/17

Seeing pessimism from Minnesota fans gives me hope. I don't like that, because it will make the losses more painful.
 
Re: Minnesota hosts Wisconsin: 1/16 & 1/17

I think ya'll need a reality check if you honestly think MN looks like the 5th or 6th team in the conference. I think it is highly unlikely that both PSU and OSU finish ahead of them as well. Yeah, the way they are playing is unacceptable given their roster, but they don't look that bad as to finish behind 3 teams in this sub-par conference. Just saying.

Like I said, I completely understand (and share!) the disgust and disappointment with how they have performed, but let's not get melodramatic about it.

They're sandbagging. Sure, they're disappointed (disgusted even) with how their team is playing, but not a single one of them believes that they will drop even a point to us.

Now I wouldn't go that far. The sandbagging is certainly strong with some, and some others (:o) are a bit too sensitive due to outcomes of recent games to tolerate it.

But we all know Wisconsin could get lucky and Rumpel could steal a game this weekend.

Oh yeah, I also forgot -
I think we should start a pool as to who can predict how long it takes Eaves to have his first hissy fit. I'm going with sometime around the 8 minute mark of the first.

pffft. You guys aren't fooling me. There's not even a 'Fire Lucia' thread. How bad can it really be over there?
 
Re: Minnesota hosts Wisconsin: 1/16 & 1/17

If any of you have pet cats or dogs, I strongly suggest hiding them at an undisclosed location, in case MN loses either game. Y'all have been warned.
 
Re: Minnesota hosts Wisconsin: 1/16 & 1/17

Minnesota has looked bad lately but I think they turn it around against Bucky. I just don't think the BADgers have the scoring to compete. I see a 3-1 and a 4-1 win for the Gophs. Jr is coaching a squirt team out of town so I will be escorting the Mrs to both games this weekend. Hope I can remember what time each game is at with this schedule.

I think we sweep becky (hockey day MN and all) and start our turnaround this weekend.

Nope, I could easily see the Gophers dropping multiple points this weekend.

I'm willing to bet I'm one of the least reactionary fans posting here or at GPL and right now I'm hoping for a split. That's how bad the play has been of late.
 
Re: Minnesota hosts Wisconsin: 1/16 & 1/17

Have you seen us though?

If it was at the KC, I might entertain us getting a point.


You know how it can be said, "We're not good enough to just show up and win?"

In this case you are.


I hope I'm wrong. I'd enjoy watching some of you jump off the ledge which would most likely happen if we find a way.

Just not seeing it though based on what I've seen from the Badgers this season.

Granted I haven't watched a minute of Gopher hockey this year, so don't know what you guys are seeing.

I usually don't jump. I just sit in my lawn chair on the ledge and stew.

Scooby -Your glass may have to be adjusted after the crappy Michigan weekend, way too positive.

Naah, it's been a flatline since Northeastern. Same same every week. I agree with Lucia, Gophers would have won on Friday and it would have been fine.
 
Re: Minnesota hosts Wisconsin: 1/16 & 1/17

If the Gophers can't gain at least a split against the Badgers this weekend there is something terribly wrong. Then again, the same could be said about the Badgers.
