The SioUX did have a player in the crease but that doesn't change the fact that jeffrey frazee is the biggest piece of trash outside the pansy sport of basketball in the world.

Frazee

I'm actually thinking that they should have started Briggs, oh well i gues you can ask your selves all of those questions. Eaither way Sioux win.

They went with what got them this far. I thought Frazee played a great game. Nodak stepped it up in OT and deserved the win. Great season by Minn. They will be very good again next year. Count on it.

Frazee kept them in that game for the most part so there is no need to trash him. It was two pretty evenly matched teams, but UND had the better of the play in OT and were bound to win that game. I don't wanna root for UND but I hate the eastern bias and would love for the WCHA to show up the NCAA despite its best efforts to keep the title away from the league.

Is it just me or does it seem like the Gophers get all of these good guys out of the National Development Program and those guys only stick around for a year or two?

Chris Porter, UND's senior captain. If I had to pick anyone to score one for the Sioux, it would be him.

If I had picked anyone to let in a goal like that, It would be Frazee.

look at the goals that Briggs gave up to Air Force. besides the power play goal he gave up they were 2 very weak goals. the first one was bottom of circle with clear view and the third he was doing the crappie flop all over the ice.

Pace of game

Post by whos_it » Mon Mar 26, 2007 7:03 am

Maybe just me. Maybe because it was a Sunday. Maybe because it was at altitude. Maybe my head was just a little foggy but did anyone else feel that this game was played in slow motion.

I've seen maybe 30+ gopher/sioux games in my life and this was easily one of the most stale performances by either team. I did a sanity check with my son and he felt the same way. Were we just in a bad mood or was the game in slow motion? Comments?

Wow, what a downer that game was! I thought Frazee did great in the nets, I think his team pretty much let him down in OT, not the greatest play out of the Gophers...this sucks, 2nd year in a row with no Frozen Four appearance! Isn't it just amazing tho, how these stinkin' goalies play out of their mind against the gophers, but they play like crap against other teams....Well, here's to next season!

I appluad all goalies in this tourney-the back boards played a huge role in this tourney which is a joke. The team that adapted the best won it even though the ND goalie needs to step up in Frozen Four

I think the crowd played a large hand. The crowds at these tourney games were pathetic, the host sites were awful and the fans weren't into it all. It's just another thing the NCAA needs to look into to correct this tournament format.

Not much they can do unless they choose smaller venues or limit the sights to Minnesota, ND, Mich and WI. I don't know much about the East but I can tell you most of CCHA country can't fill a rink either.

I've been to Notre Dame for a few games and it's a disgraceful D I rink. For a team that was the overall #2 seed for the National Tournament who plays for a University with seemingly bottomless pockets, nobody outside the players, parents, band, and a handful of marshmellow throwing football fans really cares about ND hockey.

Other than us, people in the US don't care about hockey and the bad crowds at the regional sites would indicate that.

I would think they could get good crowds in Boston or Maine.
