MN Hockey - "We're So SPECIAL!"

Anything to get more than 5 up there. With all the heaps of tradition, 5 is a little embarrassing even for visitors. It's like being invited for dinner to a house where the host is incontinent. I mean, it's good to know the guy is never going to put a successful move on your wife, but you still feel for the guy. It's why folks start leaving half way through the third.

How about broom ball? Or is that what the '29 and '40 banners are for?

at least Mariucci doesn't have fresh Menard's paint thinner on tap like the Kohl Center.

That's where your lost. It's all opinion. You just think you can control who has one. If you like beating your head against a wall (because you are never going to silence my opinions), go right ahead.

Unlike other schools who decided to go the MJ Canadian route Mariucci and company believed they did it 100% the correct way. If it weren't for them USA hockey today would still be back in 1980.

I'm sorry, but I know fans of other teams that hate on the Gophers less. He's a bit. An act. And that act is worn out and tiresome.

Scooby has been around this board for a while, Dubber. He has dimensions--look at his location. You'll probably have to google that to see a connection, unless I miss my guess.

Loosen your grip on your stuffed Goldie and look around. Start by going to Iowa for an afternoon--you'll be back safe and sound by dark. When you've done that a few times, go to Fargo or Grand Forks and hang out with trolls and snotgurgles. There's a world out there. Have some fun.

I could honestly care less how long someone has been "around this board". It means nothing to me. The bit is old and tiresome, as is yours.

The previous three seasons prior to World War II (1938-1939, 1939-1940 and 1940-1941) the Gophers posted a 46-9-2 record. National Championship honors were accorded the 1939-1940 team as they won 18 games and finished the season undefeated. Among their college victims were Michigan, Michigan Tech, Illinois and Yale. In the National AAU Championships they defeated with ease the New England All-Stars 9-4 and Connecticut’s Brock Hall 9-1. During the season the team scored 138 goals to their opponents, 25. Led by such performers as Babe Paulsen, John Mariucci, Frank St. Vincent, Hayden Pickering, Jim Magnus, Ken Cramp, Fred Junger, Dave Lampton, All Eggleton, Norb Robertson and goalie Marty Falk, the 1939-1940 team was the strongest at Minnesota since the sport was inaugurated at the college in the early 1920’s. Ching Johnson- former Eveleth Red, Minneapolis Miller and New York Rangers star- who watched the Gophers practice and play, was amazed at their abilities. He compared them favorably with any of the great Canadian amateur teams.

And yet North Dakota won their first NCAA title in 1959 and Minnesota had to wait till 1974.

In other words, what exactly is your point?
