I don't know about a bit too young? Considering the average age for their freshman is close to 21 and the average for the Gophers is around 19. What do you guys think about the checking from behind non calls against Parentau and Bjugstad? That blow to the head on Bjugstad was very similar to what got Rau a major and suspension.


Parentau was no worse than what Rau did IMO. The one on Bjug, although it sucked since he had to leave, wasn't that bad IMO. Just unfortunate.

Yeap, that program is going to be scary soon Steve. Excellent hire and I wish you guys nothing but best unless you play us :)


Thanks Jeff.
You know I feel the same way about the Gophers.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/3/2012 7:32:41 PM)

Shoulda been the most important weekend of year so far, and we go in the tank. [X(]
What the hell is wrong with us?
ALL of us?



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/3/2012 9:32:30 PM)

Guentzel back ... McNaughton Cup back.
Hmmmmm.
Where it belongs.



panndder -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/3/2012 10:43:09 PM)

I'll admit it: I've casually followed this team the past few years. Still, am I right at all in thinking they pretty much sleep-walked through the season considering they won the conference? I mean, were they truly dominant? Is the WCHA down from where it was a few years ago? It just seems so strange to me.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/3/2012 10:53:20 PM)

Agree Patrick
Down
This Gopher team should get much better
There are a lot of decent teams now, but noones loaded, imo
Too much player turnover yearly
And down years for Colo teams and most-definitely the Sue .... but I'll take it. Tough league, no matter the circumstances.



Bruce Johnson -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/4/2012 1:20:56 AM)

Congrats to the hockey Gophers. They are champions, and we have something to cheer about! [sm=dothewave.gif]

Very well put. This is the ACC for BB and the SEC for football. Never an easy title to earn but yeap, the league overall was down. What's going to be fun to watch is how the WCHA will look in 2 years when all these Frosh and Sophs grow.

Wait, what's that? No more WCHA??? [X(]

Zactly bro .... stooooooooopid times ten.

Corleone -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/5/2012 1:41:22 PM)

I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I think the new B1G hockey conference will be good for the sport in the long run.  The U will still play NoDak/Duluth/St Cloud every season (and the Minnesota "Beanpot" should be a lot more fun than the slugs they tend to bring in for the Mariucci tourney).  I don't think anyone will miss series against the likes of Anchorage, Michigan Tech, etc. and IMO, the new rivalries with Ohio State and the Michigan schools will more than make up for what's lost by leaving the WCHA. 

Let's revisit this in about 5 years, shall we?  [;)]



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/5/2012 7:12:46 PM)

NO problem with any of that ... I'm resigned to it.
I know for sure I'll hate the Wolverines and Sparty every bit as much as I do The Sue at some point ....



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/6/2012 8:15:50 AM)

Me too.  Hell, i hate Michigan more than any of em' already [&:]



Corleone -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/6/2012 3:51:10 PM)

Growing up torn between the Gophers (born here) and UMD (lived in Duluth in the 80's), I have a hard time imagining hating a college hockey team more than the canuck thugs from NoDak.

That said, I definitely have no love for Michigan either.  Watching the Dogs knock them off at the X last year for the title was pretty effing special on a few levels.  [:)]



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/7/2012 9:34:08 AM)

Yeah, i call that the "kick in the balls" theory.


Hating Michigan or NoSack worse?


That's like taking one in the chimchangas or getting punched in the nose.  Both options suck beyond comparison. 



Corleone -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/7/2012 10:45:24 AM)

Yup.  Reminds me of how I felt watching the Bears and Packers in the NFC CG last year...I was praying for a meteor to hit the stadium.  [:D]



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/7/2012 3:30:55 PM)

Now the fun starts
Lets hope we have saved our best hockey for now
Would be nice to win a Final % and then go deep in the NCAAs
Crank it up boys.



Ward Peterson -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/8/2012 10:42:26 PM)

It's people like me that lose with the move. It sucks. Hopefully they'll throw us a bone once in awhile and let the Gophs come up here for a weekend.

Your coaching staff, Hill, has strong ties to Alaska



Any payback talk in town this week?

I don't want to open any old wounds of coarse



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/8/2012 10:45:48 PM)

We've got no right to plan revenge, Ward.
We're not that good yet.  [:D]
Hills gone off staff .. Guentzels back. So is success.  [:D] 



Ward Peterson -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/8/2012 10:58:55 PM)

I didn't realize John Hill was gone. My bad.

The games will be televised here this week I see. Great news.

I'm loving the new NBC Sports Network! Lots of college hockey, most of it has been east coast teams, but now they're starting to show more WCHA games. Came to their senses I guess.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/9/2012 8:11:19 PM)

I always forget to bring that up Ward ..., love the new NBC SN
Its awesome
There are always games on there, it seems. Awesome.



Ward Peterson -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/9/2012 8:18:17 PM)

Very even 1rst period. You can feel the momentum swing to the Gophs now

Must have gotten an ass chewing during the break



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/9/2012 8:22:34 PM)

Still tough tho ... even with 2-0 lead, UAA giving us fits.



Ward Peterson -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/9/2012 8:24:15 PM)

Make up call on that.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/9/2012 8:27:19 PM)

Wow
Drama at the X
H-M Pioneers move on with reviewed goal over Moorhead.
Great effort.



Ward Peterson -> RE: Gopher Hockey (3/9/2012 8:34:48 PM)

The refs should just say...OK we made a bad call...and leave it at that

The phantom trip on Lienweber, the no-call on the Rau takedown that EVERYBODY saw....just cheapens an otherwise great game

The makeup call sucks
