(above) DU's J.P. Testwuide, right, and North Dakota's Kyle Radke go toe-to-toe in last year's game in Grand Forks-Denver Post photo
The Rocky Mountain News expects DU to get a chilly reception in North Dakota.
The Denver Post promises that DU won't turn the other cheek this time in Grand Forks.
The Grand Forks Herald says that UND's regular season hinges on this series.
"The University of Denver hockey team has left its balmy hometown for frigid North Dakota, where Brandon Vossberg and the rest of the Pioneers know their reception will be even more chilling."
The Denver Post promises that DU won't turn the other cheek this time in Grand Forks.
"Last season in Grand Forks, the Sioux swept DU in a chippy series that included three full-fledged fights in the finale. In the final brawl between North Dakota's Kyle Radke and Brandon Vossberg, Gwozdecky was furious his players remained spectators when Radke took Vossberg down to the ice and pummeled him in defenseless fashion."
The Grand Forks Herald says that UND's regular season hinges on this series.
"This weekend’s series against Denver may determine whether the rest of the regular season will be spent fighting for the MacNaughton Cup or for home ice in the first round of the playoffs."

I only wish Testwuide had gotten another crack at that worthless no talent hack Radke.
Another crack? He didn't take his helmet off the first time. I'm intrigued on how this is the photo shown. Testee didn't want to man up and that's the only reason I had no problem with Radke dropping a couple bombs when T was on the ice.
12:20....huh?? Go back and watch Testwuide vs Radke on Youtube. Both players pushed and shoved, took their helmets off fair and square and were ready to throw and the refs jumped in. Vossberg was the player who that dumbass Radke pounded on while he was flat on the ice. Radke and Testwuide never engaged again after that first scrap. The shit that Radke pulled on Vossberg was completely bush league.
hahahah, talk the talk in the paper. sounds like the ass kicking the sioux gave the gophers and the way they did it brough up memories of last season for du. sioux already in denvers head. good luck being physical, the sioux will do that and score goals. these games will be close and its funny how worried the daniel booners are about the sioux playing physical which they do every weekend. i respect du more than minny.at least they have a spine inlike lucia and his panzy kid
radke wought him and kic ked his ass. dont whine because he got down on the ice and took a few blows. he shouldt have engaged if he couldnt defend himself.im a gopher fan as well, they bullied us all over the ice and they will do the same to du, its obvious as du is already worried about it in the newspaper. wierd to read that stuff. the sioux are in their heads already. go wcha but the sioux will mop du this weekend, go gophers
at least denver probably wont go tony lucia and run away but i do find it wierd that they are so worried baout fighting? the sioux wont fight unless needed and they are not scared of that. du is tough but dont engage with hextall or malone unless needed. i am a du fan and have been but im worried already we are worrying about the wrong stuff here. score goals please. the sioux are on fire as well as us. be physical but not sure why we are even talking about the sioux and how they play
Brilliant, profound postings....DU, Gopher, and Sioux fan. You are quite skilled with the written word, sort of like my 6year old nephew. Are you the student body president?
FUNNY STUFF BUT I LOVE WHEN DU FANS CALL PEOPLE OUT FOR THEIR UNIVERSITIES NOT BEING AS PROFOUND AS THE ALL MIGHTY DU, PLEASE. GO SIOUX.........I RESPECT DU AND THEIR PROGRAM BUT ITS GREAT HOW THE SIOUX ARE ALREADY IN THEIR HEAD , THIS WILL BE A GREAT SERIES WITH BIG HITTING. GO SIOUX - GREAT BLOG AS WELL!!
Rather hilarious that DU fans consider Sioux fans coarse Hillbillies (where there are no hills?!!), mulletheads, and non-intellectual. Whereas rival North Dakota State (NDSU) fans consider Sioux fans to be preppy, turtle-neck and Birkenstock wearing intellectual snobs.
Would love to see a clash of NDSU - DU cultures sometime!!
