He wasn't Bob's guy so he had no problem putting him where he deserved to be based on his play. He thinks in slow motion most of the time out there.
Lead us out of Loserville, Bob.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
Yeah I'm not saying Bob is wrong here, just pointing out a noticeable contrast in terms of how he was used. I didn't think he looked bad his freshman year but part of that is due to having fast skilled linemates creating a ton of space for you. IDK if the injuries held him back or not last year but he wasn't very noticeable and I would agree that he didn't look fast at all (though like you said it's more decision making than straight line speed).
<GophDogFan> yep, so sad... you have a new moment, when your uncle gets mad because you got the best of him. the last straw was when i told him that UND's hockey program is like crystal pepsi: Nobody every liked it.

I hope Reedy will stay healthy so we can see if he lives up to his potential.

If Reedy can take the next step, then I love the line of him with Nelson and Sorenson. Sorenson has shown some playmaking ability. And Nelson is a hoss who can man the front of the net. Those three could really compliment each other nicely.
Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
Looking at single game tix online. Along with the price they now show a fee. And the fee is different for different opponents. Like $9 for UND, and $3 for MSU.
What's that all about now?

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
Try to find a season ticket holder to be the middle man to purchase the tickets avoid the fees. The other point is if the arena will be half full of Whioux fans, just as well make some money on them.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
The fees have been there for years and they change based on the price of the ticket itself.

Based on the tix I picked up for UND, the fee appears to be 10% of the ticket price.
I have GOT to stop saying "How stupid can you get"
Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
This sounds similar to past years.
55 dollar ticket, 5.5 but round down to 5
40 dollar ticket, 4 dollar fee
And so on

Based on credit card company (or just major monetary companies), they charge a percentage for every transaction made so this is likely what its for--> to recoup those costs

I'm seeing Ryan Johnson and Jackson LaCombe both working on their off side as defensemen. The only right shot D are Nanne and Stucker. We're seeing a pair of Zuhlsdof-Nanne together quite a bit.
Countdown to Puck Drop will be 1 to 3 with locker room tours, autographs, open skate and the team has a practice scheduled following the event.

Also is Reedy expected back soon (not sure of his injury)?
Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
The transaction fee would maybe be 2.5%, and if they wanted, they could build that into the price for the ticket. It's a marketing strategy that they can advertise lower prices and by the time the person gets that far into the buying process, they just sigh and pay it because it's only another 10%. It sucks, but it's basically the law of the land for selling tickets online now. Minnesota's service fee is far from the most egregious.upnorthkid wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25 11:57 amBased on credit card company (or just major monetary companies), they charge a percentage for every transaction made so this is likely what its for--> to recoup those costs

Often wonder if Patrick took so many penalties so he wouldn't 'accidentally' break Mayasich's record.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
The Gophers are not ranked in the top 20 in the preseason poll. UMD is ranked number one as expected. At least until the Gophers beat them again this year. Hopefully the Gophers will be able to use this as motivation and be much improved by the end of the year.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
Ya we don't need to be chanting that ugh we should be a program that can compete in any game, which is pretty much the case. Therefore us winning any given night isn't a big surprise, especially in the Big Ten.
Maybe if we're number 2 and number 1 is in town, just for shits and giggles.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
Well, take a look at my signature and the overrated chant was heard that night and rightfully so. We used it once in HS hockey when Moorhead (AA) was ranked in the top 10 of that poll and we were unranked in EGF (A) and we beat them 5-3 or something like that in Moorhead. The EGF student section chanted overrated to a silent arena.Bertogliat wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01 6:37 amI’ve never understood the “overrated” chant. So the other team suck because they lost to our team?

It stings on the receiving end as much as it feels good on the winning end. It may be bad to lose to our team, but when your team is ranked so much higher it is justified.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
Polls should come with teh required financial disclosure that past performance is not a predictor of future performance and future outlook is intended as likely. They're a snapshot of how everyone is performing comparatively to each other as of that point. So, for that, they're great to use to go back and see how teams looked at a point in time. But meaning for predictive reasons? No.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
People get really fired up about polls lmao
Going into the season we are the fourth best team in the state. That sucks but the hockey starts this weekend and we hope the team proves that to be wrong.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
Does anyone really have someone in their life that goes on about a poll so much so that qualifiers need to be discussed? I think most reasonable understand what polls mean and how much value they have or don't have. Every year someone feels the need to say the only thing that matters is the PWR and it seems like a Captain Obvious statement in this day and age.JWG wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01 10:21 amPolls should come with teh required financial disclosure that past performance is not a predictor of future performance and future outlook is intended as likely.

I wasn’t really serious about a disclaimer. Only that it’s reflective of a point in time and predicts nothing.

Re: 2019-2020 Gopher Hockey Season Thread
Given who we lost and that it's being replaced by freshmen (on top of our final PWR ranking last season) I can see why we're outside the top 20 in the preseason polls. Hopefully they exceed expectations.
<GophDogFan> yep, so sad... you have a new moment, when your uncle gets mad because you got the best of him. the last straw was when i told him that UND's hockey program is like crystal pepsi: Nobody every liked it.

We're at 21 if you count "others receiving votes" - it's not like they think we're going to go winless and shutdown the program. Besides, all that matters is what happens on the ice. Just go win.

BTW.... I cannot get ANYTHING of substance out of anyone with connections about who is going to be the TV announcer. But I am not exactly pushing it either .
All I know is that they have made their choice and we just need to be patient until the announcement. So we'll all just have to wait.
