    Was it their "worst game of the year?"

      The only voice of reason is JDUBBS1280. Denver played well, dictated play, and forced Minnesota into most of their mistakes. I was not expecting this result tonight. Here's to a much better game tomorrow night.
      But f* UND. And depends on who the Gopher fans were.

      I said on GPL, MN likes to look pretty, and then teams like WI (trap) and DU come in, peel off that makeup, and reveal what we really look like. Exaggeration? Yes. But there is some truth in there.

      Edit: Gurt: that was the worst I've seen them in the past I dunno how many years.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        I HATE HATE HATE pretty hockey... shoot the **** puck on net and crash the net... It really is that simple. But for some reason, MN thinks they can always go for that pretty play instead of getting dirty.

          White Men Can't Jump. That's the quote I'm referencing from, and it's so true with the Gophers.

            I only saw maybe 10-15 minutes, but it was obvious they were out of synch.


            I did see Helge nearly snap that Pio's neck after the goal though. How'd you guys get him over UND?

              We showed him our receipts from paying off the refs.

                That's a recipe for an early exit in the NCAAs.

                It is baffling coz when they're firing on all cylinders, they look like men against boys.

                I'm sure they're thinking, and you fans are hoping, that they'll be able to turn it on for the playoffs an do it for 60 minutes on a consistent basis. That's not the best formula though.
                This is funny because you could also be describing DU. They have been so up and down all year. The one thing that seems to be improving as we head to the second season is the D. I expect the Gophs to come out and dominate tomorrow night just like the Greenies did at Magness last Saturday. Hope we get another shot at you guys in a couple of weeks at the X.

                  DU suffers from this disease as well. I always think of it as a coaching issue. These teams are just swimming in talent and if you leave the kids to their own devices they'll go Hollywood pretty often. Tonight is a good illustration of your point. The game winner was a bounce off a skate when two high scoring teams face off in the last month of the season. A good coaching staff is drilling this right now. Most (not all) Feb/March games are low scoring. Put the puck on net and crash, crash crash!

                    Man, this time of year is killer. You have to show up and be on it. If not, the other team will take you down. Harvard (one of the worst teams in D-1) knocked off the "#1 team" in the country, Air Force came from 2 down to knock off Viagra. DU was strong on D and in net from what I heard (mostly D). Given that the Gophs first and second line (and therefore PP also) took the night off it was almost a free pass for DU. Very similar to last Friday for us against UND. UND looked like crap on Friday and DU held on for a narrow victory (which is what tonight was). On Saturday UND turned it around and DU looked like **** (especially in the 3rd). I was especially impressed by the adjustments they made on their kill. Keep in mind that a split is considered to be the equivalent of batting over .300.

                      MN was ugly from the first shift. UGLY. Very UW like.

They completely controlled the neutral zone, frustrated and confused the Gophers on their power play, blocked a lot of shots, held the Gophers to the outside, and had really solid goaltending.
                        Denver is the best coached team, night in and night out, in the WCHA, IMO, and there aren't many in the country better.
