College Hockey Fans

Always time for hockey!

Gophs up to #9. SCSU @ #10. Should be a great series this weekend.


NoDak down to #13 after getting swept by UMass last weekend.
 
Always concerned about the first game of the season and how the players play together. The Gophs really took it to the Huskies last night, clearly out skating them to loose pucks, and they seemed a lot stronger on the puck than in the past couple of years. I thought the freshman played pretty well.

Ness can really skate and has a quick stick. His lack of size will be offset by his ability to handle the puck.

Schroeder will get a lot of assists playing with Stoa & Barribal.

Sacchetti had a few chances and didn't seem intimidated.

The fourth line guys didn't play much, although Mattson looked pretty good.


I thought SCSU got screwed on the goal called off that cleary went of Schack. Goph special teams were the difference in the game. I have to believe that Lasch won't get shut out again tonight.
 
did Lucia gather the team and do a 'win one for the Gipper' type speach for their fallen super fan Jeff Dubay?
 
Dubay is a tool.

Gophers get the brooms out!

NoDak finally wins a game.

BC and Michigan lose this weekend, I'm guessing that CC and the WCHA will be #1 come Monday.
 
Dubay? I figured him for a drunk not a Crack Head.

Who knew???????? :0
 
Read somewhere about his 'record' that he has a guilty plea to a domestic abuse charge back in the 90's sometime.

I'm not a big Puffy (gives a whole new meaning to his nickname now doesn't it) fan but I hope the guy gets the help he obviously needs.

Oh and I hope his favorite hockey team loses the rest of their games. :)
 
What happened to Dubay? I quit listening to those guys a couple of years ago. They used to be on up here, but I just can't listen to the "my team can do no wrong" stuff.

EDITED TO ADD: Oh yeah, the Bulldogs stink again. No defense and there's only one line that's worth a shit on offense. :angry:

Dubay was busted for possession of crack cocaine.

I'm pretty much of a daily listener to his and PA's show. He took a leave of absence earlier this year and although he didn't get into specifics the rumors where rampant that he was in some sort of rehab. Now this. I doubt he'll see any jail time but I would think his radio career is in BIG trouble.

Sandelin looks like he might be gone after this year, if they don't produce.

I don't know. They signed him to an extension a couple of years ago. I don't remember when his contract terminates.

I don't think a team can consistently win playing his style of hockey. You can't go into what amounts to a prevent defense with a one goal lead and expect to win. There is no sens of urgency in their style of play until they get down 2 goals. As soon as they tie it up or take the lead, they seem content to hold it. Half the time it looks like they don't care if they win or not.

So far things don't look any different this year than last with the exception of a little more talent offensively. The bad part is it's only enough talent to put out one decent line.
 
I read something, somewhere, that stated this is the last year of that extension. New arena on the horizon and the A.D. pretty much said that if he doesn't produce, they will be forced to make a move.

I hope you're right. They really rode that Frozen Four appearance and Lessard's Hobey Baker a few years back for all it was worth (more than it was worth, actually). They raised ticket prices, added a requirement to join the Bulldog Club (boosters) to buy season tickets or to add to/change your existing season tickets, and they stopped giving kids that belonged to the Bulldog Buddies a discount on tickets.

As a result, attendance has been down since that great season, season ticket sales have dropped significantly, and they've had to drop the Bulldog Buddies program due to lack of interest. They basically got greedy and shot themselves in the foot. I guess they didn't realize that one good year doesn't make a program.

This new AD seems to be a lot smarter, but his hands are somewhat tied by the chancellor. She only cares about what happens with women's sports. The audience for those games is more to her liking, if you know what I mean. ;) It sure as heck isn't about what helps the school the most. Even while sucking big time the men's hockey outdraws the women's by almost 3:1 and the women win championships!

I can't wait fot he new arena, but I really think their going to try to pull something with the season ticket holders again. If they add any other requirements, we won't be renewing.
 
Recapping a great weekend for the #5(soon to be #1?) Gophers:

They take 3 out of 4 points from Becky Badger's homecoming weekend squad. Becky had 5 1st or 2nd round NHL picks playing defense for them, but the Gophers "D" played better. Credit is due to the coaching staff ot the U of M! UW has one point after 6 WCHA games.

#1 CC gets tied twice by a #18 ranked Clarkson. Not going to be #1 this week.

#2 Denver loses to Ohio State at home.

#3 New Hampshire ties at home, loses on the road.

#4 BC get a win at home

#6 BU smokes #7 Michigan on Saturday 7-2.

SCSU pulls out a split at Bemidji St.

UMD gets a point at AA. I would rather play AA after the holidays. They always play tough at home before the break and their season starts to unravel.

UND did not lose this weekend! :thumbs: Of course, they didn't play either. :laugh: They should get healthy against Becky Badger next weekend though.
