:) Minnesota @ Michigan: 3/14 3/15...Only Need Two

Re: :) Minnesota @ Michigan: 3/14 3/15...Only Need Two

I'm waiting for excuses....

I am going to play along. Just remember you started it. ;):D

My excuse? The Gophers should never lose to anybody and that includes losing to Michigan. The Gophers have a winning record against 99.9% of their opponents and I fully expect in the future the Gophers will continue to do so. I can only think of two schools with a better record and that's Lake State (1-3) and Maine (10-13) every other collegiate team the Golden Gophers have a winning record including North Dakota, Boston College and Wisconsin. I have much respect for your beloved Michigan it's just we don't like to see the Gophers lose to anybody. I am looking forward to watching quality hockey. Good luck this weekend just not against the Gophers. ;)

How many times has MN played Yale or HC? Those are only others I can think of they may not have winning records due to so few games.

My mistake Holy Cross leads us (0-1):D and Yale (13-7). It looks like three clubs have the upper hand.;)

That wasn't clear what the Ylae record is. Who has more wins? Because you list MN first in Holy Cross comparison (0-1) then have record against Yale (13-7) but say they both have upper hand.
 
I am not a hockey only fan, but an all-around University of Minnesota fan, so I call em UMn purely out of habit. Spend far more time in cbb forums educating the ignorant of the greatness that is Minnesota, but I will try to amp up my level of arrogance when talking hockey and from here on out only refer to the Gophers as UM. THE UM, right!!! :)

Minny is merely trying to justify their existence.

My bad HC 0-1 and we lead Yale 13-7.

My only problem with all that is momentum is so big in hockey. It's hard to turn it off and then back on. If Wilcox needed rest, I think they should have done it sooner IMO.

I don't have as much a problem with the loss as i do the circumstances surrounding it. I think the coaches sent a message (intentional or not) that this game didn't matter with the lineup changes and the players subsequently treated it as such.

Just hope this serves as a message. Can't afford to "not have it tonight" again from here on out.


You were onto something.

The wheels started to come off your 2006 season with a somewhat similar late season deceleration...


Your boys' meddle will be tested now as they'll need to regain their confidence. They're certainly talented enough to get it rolling again but will they be mentally strong enough? Not saying they won't be, but the questions are there now.

I'll say no.

Looks like the standard go round since they won in '03.
