I was there to. Your parents are right. Loudest I have ever heard the X get....and that includes Wild playoff games (season ticket holder) and even concerts! The place was electric that night. What made it so much more special is how QUIET it was, down a goal...58 seconds left. The place might as well of crumbled to the ground when the game was tied late. Simply epic, a night I will never forget.
@BKRand0mSauce im dating koalskas niece, and i asked him if he thinks about that goal once and awhile. he says everyday...and i get the goosebumps everytime.
WOW! Awesome video, I got chills!! I was at Stub and Herbs watching this game and the bar was packed. When that OT goal went in, the place erupted, beer everywhere, pandemonium. Incredible.
9 People must Not be from Minnesota or they don't know what American Hockey is. hahah SKOL Gophers ! ! ! :) No-one Remembers a loser and I don't intend to be one ! ! ! GREAT SONG CHOICE :)
@countrySTAR06 i was actually glad to watch them win it since im sick of the mediocrity that all the minnesota teams are going through right now. it was a nice change.
I remember watching this when i was 14 and listening to Wally Shaver and Lou Nanne instead of those biased ESPN announcers. One of the greatest sports moments of my life!
I remember watching this when i was 14 and listening to Wally Shaver and Lou Nanne instead of those biased ESPN announcers. One of the greatest sports moments of my life!
I recall watching this game and believe the Shutte player from Maine (the one that did the 'shhhhhh" gesture to the crowd after he scored his 1st goal) was the one that got called for the pentatly in OT. Also I think Grant Potulny, who had the game winner, was the only non-Minnesotan on the gophers that year. Thank goodness Lucia dind't keep that same policy of "ONLY MN players" that Woog did
my favorite part about the game winner is that potulny didn't immediately take off after scoring to do a "sick cele" so everybody would think he was cool. you can tell that he was absolutely filled with excitement and he celebrated like so. you dont see too many kids like that these days, that dont play hockey partly because people think they are cool.
I watched this game with two former roommates. We went crazy when the Gophers won the game. We jumped up out of out chairs and cheered. One of those roommates was my best friend Tim. He passed away in '08 from a congenital heart disease. Every time I watch this video it reminds me of him and how we high fived and cheered after the win. A simple hockey game I know.. but what a great memory. What can I say? We're from Minnesota... the State of Hockey!
It's truly a shame that instead of returning this program back to the glory days, Lucia seems to be more interested in sucking cock than win another championship.
was probably one of the coolest moments of my life. I watched this game with my family and we were all in tears after we won it all. I had the honor of going to the FInal Four game at the xcel. It was so amazing. When 18,000 fans were chanting go gophers.
I have been tryin to find a picture of johnny pohl's (#9 on the gophers) goal that went off the post and in. If anyone can help me find any pictures of him in that game I would appreciate it.
I will never forget being at this game. For as long as I live, and I live to remember, that this will be the memory of a life time. So long ago and I can only remember the passion as if it were last night. This is the most exciting game I'll ever go to. GO GOPHERS!! (:
This game absolutely broke my heart. I had known coach Walsh and was absolutely devistated when we lost, but at the same time, what an amazing treat for a program with as much history as Minnesota to be able to win a national championship in front of their home fans...absolutely an amazing game all the way around...even if it did make me cry...lol
@cuff1957 no sir, this is, what maine did IN st.paul that night was unbelievable. Then for Minnesota to pull out a miracle at home, just doesn't compare bud.
@chimaira1069 what are u talking about. to win a national championship at home after coming from behind at the last minute. that is what people dream of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i watched it on television while i was at work here in Montana. i used to live in Minnesota and of all of the sporting events i miss going to (twins, vikes, wolves), i miss the gophers hockey games the most! we need a return to greatness. been too long since we've gotten the big one!
yes i was there as well as a fourth grader. without a doubt the best hockey game i have ever seen played in my entire life. i will never ever forget how loud the minnesota chant was at the end of the game. absolutely epic.i think i tear up a little every time i hear wally and glen going nuts over the game tying and winning goals haha
I'm a SCSU fan, but I can appreciate this moment. Seeing the Gophers come back and make the Xcel Energy Center go wild was a special moment. Huskies fans have the big rivalry with Minnesota, and someday hopefully we will win a tourney game and be in this spot.
I wish Johnny Pohl had got more of a chance with St. Louis. He played one game there and right after he left the Blues went through tons of depth players prior to the rebuild. Would have loved to see him get a 3rd/4th line spot in STL.
this game is probably one of the best games i ever seen! johnny pohl sniped that shot for the second goal. then when matt koalska scored the goal to tie it up and jumped into the arms of his teamates that was just awesome. and when grant potulny won the game i think anyone watching this would wanna just scream for happiness. Great Video.
I was pretty little when they won this, but I was still a die hard fan (I was in 2nd grade). The two things I remember most about this game were the score was 4-3 and Matt Koalska jumped over the boards at the end. It's always been my dream to be a gopher hockey cheerleader. The gophers are definitely a team worth cheering for, and this shows it!
I remember this like yesterday... this was the greatest game i have seen. when koalaska scores with less than a minute left it is truly awesome. GOGOPHERS!!
best day in minnesota sports history behind the twins world series victories... to win like that and in minnesota for the championship was incredible.
without a doubt the best last minute comeback championship game comeback I have ever seen untill this year. Terriers were somehow able to get 2!! to tie it. Probably more of a Miami breakdown than anything
D-line I think if Fishcher stays then it will be Fishcher-Ness like last year as the top d-pair. The second pair I like Loftquist-Leddy. I've always been a fan of having a big guy play alongside a smaller skating defenseman-Pronger-Niedermeyer is the best example. Then I like this Helgerson kid playing with Fairchild. Wehrs to me should be the odd man out, he's terrible I'm sorry. Gophs got some great recruits in coming years-Alt,Bjukstad,Walters,Scmidt, lots of good talent.
It all lies with Schoeder. If he comes back the top line will be Hoeffel-Schoeder-Barribal. Dont lose too much. I only say this because, yes I know Stoa was an unbelieveable talent, but I really believe in Hoeffel. I think he can really break out on the top line and replace Stoa nicely. Second line I like the possibility of Lucia-Carman-Budish a couple seniors and then add a first round pick freshman in Budish who has size.
The Badgers won the series but that was mostly due to poor goaltending and bad luck. Not that it matters, we lost, but the true test is the WCHA playoffs.
Ok I'm an asshole because I am giving another team from the WCHA props? Its called being objective, Wisconsin has a great team this year, they are sure better than the team that won it all a couple years back. I love the Gophers, but just because I'm not a homer and am willing to say good things about one of our rivals I am an asshole? Ok that makes sense.
Honestly, I was a lot more impressed with Wisconsin last weekend than I was with UND this year when we played them. A crappy high school team could have beat the Gophers that played in Grand Forks. Plus they didn't have their head coach, best d-man in Fischer, Schoeder was tired from the US thing. We played great against Wisconsin last weekend personally I think, its just Wisconsin is a very good team with a great goalie. UND's temper and lack of discipline will haunt them longterm.
Pure genius by Lucia to call a timeout there. I hate to say it being a Gopher fan but another team this year reminds me of this 2002 team...THE WISCONSIN BADGERS. I know fellow Gopher fans, I hate to say it, but they do. They have a Hobey contender at defense like the Gophs did with McBain, plus their team is built on defense with McBain,McDonaugh, and Gardiner, remember Martin,Ballard,Leopold...See the similarities, and have just enough offense to win, plus a good goalie who can get hot.

The Badgers won the series but that was mostly due to poor goaltending and bad luck. Not that it matters, we lost, but the true test is the WCHA playoffs.

Ok I'm an asshole because I am giving another team from the WCHA props? Its called being objective, Wisconsin has a great team this year, they are sure better than the team that won it all a couple years back. I love the Gophers, but just because I'm not a homer and am willing to say good things about one of our rivals I am an asshole? Ok that makes sense.

Honestly, I was a lot more impressed with Wisconsin last weekend than I was with UND this year when we played them. A crappy high school team could have beat the Gophers that played in Grand Forks. Plus they didn't have their head coach, best d-man in Fischer, Schoeder was tired from the US thing. We played great against Wisconsin last weekend personally I think, its just Wisconsin is a very good team with a great goalie. UND's temper and lack of discipline will haunt them longterm.

Pure genius by Lucia to call a timeout there. I hate to say it being a Gopher fan but another team this year reminds me of this 2002 team...THE WISCONSIN BADGERS. I know fellow Gopher fans, I hate to say it, but they do. They have a Hobey contender at defense like the Gophs did with McBain, plus their team is built on defense with McBain,McDonaugh, and Gardiner, remember Martin,Ballard,Leopold...See the similarities, and have just enough offense to win, plus a good goalie who can get hot.
