Re: WCHA First Round: MN @ UND

I want everyone to be honest. Do you believe your team will win? Don't give me the line of well, if X happens, or Y happens...no. Do you truly believe your team will win?

My answer. No. The Sioux will not win.
No knock against the Rodents, but the Sioux look pretty good right now. I think they do it in 2.
 
Re: WCHA First Round: MN @ UND

Did you Susie fans watch your golden boy Brock Nelson play yesterday? He will fit right in when he wears that puke green jersey.... plays dirty and likes to run up the score against a bad team late in the game, and when they scored to go up 8-0 he acted like it was his first goal ever... vey classy! He will fit right in with the rest of you tools.

So if I'm hearing you right, you're saying that Nelson will be scoring goals and hitting noodle armed pansies in the third period next year when playing the Gophers. I agree.

Sioux in One

lmao, this dude cracks me up.

A little butthurt perhaps? If he was committed to Minnesota, you would be kissing his ***. ;)

Great to hear! Can't wait to see him at UND. :p

Precisely.
 
Re: WCHA First Round: MN @ UND

I wouldn't. They have to be freshmen and do something to make me kiss their asses from now on.
Budish is nearing 10 goals and 20 points in his first season - that's about what we should expect from incoming forwards (unless they are super hyped like Vanek).

He will fit right in when he wears that famous kelly green jersey.... plays dirty and likes to run up the score against a bad team late in the game, and when they scored to go up 8-0 he acted like it was his first goal ever... vey classy!

I'll take Brock Nelson's performance over that of gopher recruit Nick Bjustad - Metro Player of the Year! - who failed to score in his team's 2-0 loss to Apple Valley.
 
Re: WCHA First Round: MN @ UND

Thursday: hockey talk.

It really boils down to......get ready.....goaltending.

I mentioned that Eidsness looked shaky last Saturday, and that was against Tech of all teams. MN's offense is putrid, especially compared to years past, but they do have the ability to score a crapload, as seen this past Sunday.

Kangas will need to steal at least one game, and depending on MN's Jeckyll-n-Hyde offense, possibly two, for them to win the series.

I highly doubt we'll see Chay. It makes almost no sense, unless he is for sure not coming back next year (he is eligible for a redshirt).

Whoever scores the first goal won't necessarily win, IMO. Whoever scores their second goal first, however, will win. If it gets to 3? Fuhgeddaboudit. Game is over.
 
Re: WCHA First Round: MN @ UND

In roughly 24 hrs the sioux will be 1 game closer to a season ending sweep of the golden gophers!!!! get them golf clubs warmed up gopher fans!!!!!

Budish is fine. Especially considering his missing his entire senior year with an effed up knee.
 
Re: WCHA First Round: MN @ UND

Whoever wins the Friday game will win the series. Remember, you heard it here first. :cool:
I think you might be right on that one. Woogie is picking the Gophers in 3 . I think UND does it in 3 The Gophers have shown me nothing that would make me believe they can play a full series of good hockey. UND has gotten hot again at the right time

I've already explained that in great detail.

If the Gophers score two goals they have about a 6% chance of winning. 1-15 record.
If the Gophers score three goals or more they have about a 85% chance of winning. 16-2-2 record.
If the Gophers score four goals or more they have about a 99% chance of winning (it's 100 but I refuse to say sure thing). 10-0 record.

The problem is the Gophers only score 3 goals or more in a game 55% of the time. And UND has been shutting people down lately, in their last 7 games they've given up 2 goals or less and won all 7.

So, the trend line says that there is no way Minnesota can score 3 and thus no way they can win.

Sioux Sweep.
