Re: MN Golden Gophers @ UND Sioux: Arrogant vs Offensive!

Holy, let it go. I didn't know Doug Woog was your dad.
You make worthless arguments about his coaching at MN, and when those arguments are completely destroyed, this is the best retort you can come up with? No wonder you're relegated to living in a total ****hole.
 
Re: MN Golden Gophers @ UND Sioux: Arrogant vs Offensive!

If the puck goes in for Skarda in '89 and the other two situations reverse in '02 and '03, does that suddenly mean Woog is a better coach / recruiter than Lucia? :rolleyes:

In a bright green world...apparently the answer is yes.
 
Re: MN Golden Gophers @ UND Sioux: Arrogant vs Offensive!

You haven't been around here long enough to say that. So it didn't happen.

Oh so for me to know important hockey knowledge I have to sit on here and soak it in? How about this, the afore mentioned junior coach, I coached his son in hockey a couple of years ago. And he told me that. So, yeah, I guess it did happen. You know, there's some stuff you just won't find on a website.
 
Re: MN Golden Gophers @ UND Sioux: Arrogant vs Offensive!

You hit it on the head.... North Dakota knows how hard it is to to win 7 and Minnesota knows how hard it is to win 5....
Where was UND before 1950? Not playing hockey of any kind.

0<2 = 7-7

No, i am just sick of talking about with you. You won't ****ing let it go. It all started because I said Doug Woog is a ****ty commentator. Originally it had nothing to do with his coaching until 800 people jumped down my throat about it. And he got fired, so eat **** and die.
 
Re: MN Golden Gophers @ UND Sioux: Arrogant vs Offensive!

Wrong. His junior coach in Lincoln asked/advised UND to take him. Dean Blais said no and picked Tyler Palmiscino instead. So his coach then asked/advised Minnesota to take him, they said yes, and Ryan went there because the bridge at UND was long burned.

That is not the story that was circulating around Grand Forks, ND from what I was told from someone with knowledge of the situation was that Grant's dad came into Blais' office told him you take both or none at all.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I wonder what Blais would say about this now? Did he decide he wasn't going to succumb to a father's demands? Or, did he just evaluate Grant's worth as a player that wrongly?

All coaches make mistakes on players but this one is one of those that stands out after time.
 
Re: MN Golden Gophers @ UND Sioux: Arrogant vs Offensive!

What color is reality on your planet?

Guessing from the his name is probably originally from Red River High school and from Grand Forks ND and probably has moved to Minnesota. :)

I am sure most Sioux fans would have accepted them both with open arms. I don't know Grant personally but from what I see I think he is a stand up guy that chose the other team.
 
Re: MN Golden Gophers @ UND Sioux: Arrogant vs Offensive!

Going to school at UND does not make him a Sioux fan.

I remember when I firsty got to UND that there were all of these UND students that would wear UMN jersey during Sioux and Gophers week.
 
Re: MN Golden Gophers @ UND Sioux: Arrogant vs Offensive!

I will accept 7>5 if Sioux fans are willing to accept that the reason one has 7 and the other has 5 is the program with 5 was off winning an olympic gold medal the year that 7 was able to earn 1 of their 7, hence 5 not being 6 & 7 being 6. :eek:

So, how does 7 > 5* sound? Either that, or 6=6. :D

That is how many of us remember the situation.

NOW, now, don't bring up the fact that for so many years UND's overage ex-professional Canadians were not eligible for the Olympics, so Minnesota had to supply most of the players every 4 years.
 
Re: MN Golden Gophers @ UND Sioux: Arrogant vs Offensive!

I have literally talked to multiple Gopher players who can't stand the guy..

Funny my brother-in-law was an ex-gopher hockey player and I have never heard him bad mouth the man. Try again skippy.

Flawed logic, we aren't giving anything back or making excuses. The might have been even better if David Christian wasn't off winning a gold medal with said Gophers. :D :D ;) :p
