Ah yes its rivalry week again as the Sioux will take on the Gophers in the first round of the WCHA playoffs. The Gophers have to win the Final Five to make the NCAA tourney, the Sioux are probably in the tourney. From watching the video this has to be from 1992-1993 season. I am torn because one of these teams isn’t going to be in the Final Five. It’s a shame the Sioux didn’t finish 3rd or the Gophers didn’t finish 6th. Oh well!
I will probably break the series down latter in the week. Seriously, I am still suffering from another head cold that my daughter gift wrapped and brought home from day care for me.
Most seasons I would ussually throw out more red meat but frankly I am not that excited about this series or really in the mood for ripping on the Gophers that much, honestly this season the Gophers just aren't very good, no matter how you spin it, they suck! I would compare it to kicking a dead horse.
That being said, I am still going to the game and I still think that the Holy Cross
LET'S GO SIOUX KICK SOME GOPHER ASS...
Were the gophers recruiting out of state at that time? Surprised me to see gopher players actually standing up to the Sioux and not waving the ref over. Cool video none the less.
ReplyDeleteSki U Ma!
ReplyDeleteThe team that sucks has a 1-1-2 record with your beloved Flirting Sue this year; don't they?
ReplyDeleteHum, sure, but we still finished higher than your team and we will be in the NCAA tourney whether they win this weekend or not!
ReplyDeleteNice angle Charlie. Lay it out however it makes you feel best. I guess I would be bitter too if I was a gopher fan. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's important to indulge anti-Gopher mania now because the opportunity isn't going to last forever, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteCharlie has a good point, and here's a great stat: UND and MN are both 1-1-2 against each other this season, both scoring exactly 11 goals against one another. That's two games in Minneapolis and two games in Grand Forks. One might say the teams are pretty even based upon that, but the games are at home for the Sioux because they finished higher in the standings and earned that right. Scoring the first goal is extremely crucial for the Gophers. If they fall behind, 11,000 green clad fans will make them aware of how bad they are real quick.
