People are welcome to disagree with arguments. Disagreeing with facts on the other hand DOES make them/you stupid and worthy of zero respect (ah, there's that word again).
Given how touchy you are about it, my guess is it didn't lead you into the land of prosperity like my major did.

DX, are you saying one of us is baking soda and the other is vinegar?
You should really quit looking in the mirror while you post.

And if you truly are a student of science, you should have the good sense to recognize evidence and adjust your assumptions and hypothesis accordingly. Direct observation indicates MN is playing better this year than they have in any season going back to '06-'07. There are several factors behind this resurgence, and they have been identified for you by those of us who have studied (i.e. watched) the team play. Your continued refusal to accept the evidence reminds me a great deal of the climate change deniers who will continue ignoring every study and cherry pick every bit of data they can to drag their feet and obfuscate. What this tells me is you are a poor scientist.

Guentzel likely plays a role, but I don't think it's near the level many of you are claiming. Lucia being fully healthy....sure that plays into it a little bit, but again, not as much as people are saying. Seems like more people want to give credit to the coaching changes/staff than the kids themselves. Lucia's systems are still there, his oversight never left but the players are executing. Confidence goes a hell of a long ways. Having Sacred Heart to start the year probably did more than most think. Patterson was there last year but he's playing at a higher level now, especially after starting the year with two shutouts his confidence skyrocketed. The PP clicked right away playing a much less talented team, but it helps build confidence that the things they work on in practice will actually work in a game. So much of it is a mindset (and yes, the coaches play a role in that.)
One reason it could take a turn for the worse, yeah, the schedule is part of it (especially in Jan/Feb.) At UND, CC at home, H&H w/ SCSU, @Denver. That's a rough stretch. I'll fully admit at this point the series with us is probably the "easiest" in that group. Injuries, chemistry issues, etc can happen and right now in this first 12 game stretch it's been going the gophers way. Personally, I plan on seeing all of that start to change sometime around 7:37PM Friday night.
Good to know the U of M players can focus on hockey now that their nanny has come back to change their diapers.
And what we are saying is this isn't likely to be a replay of 2008-09 and have provided plenty of reasons backing that up. The vast majority of MN teams that started well were also a factor down the stretch - unlike your teams, which is why that line of logic is used. Maybe if you paid attention for more than two minutes, you'd have realized that by now.
Ooh, the "I know you are, but what am I" comeback. I bet you do make a boatload of money with that supercomputer in between your ears.
You don't have to limit it to MN teams. Teams that start well are more prone to have better success later in the season. Unless you are JBSU. They are the proverbial exception to the rule.
