Pretty Quiet!

It’s been pretty quiet on this hockey forum lately! I know all of us Gopher fans are in mourning, but c’mon. So we’re not as good as we thought we were (or should be), the only thing that matters is getting to the dance. I know it sounds crazy, but I still think that if Donny Lucia can convince Kessle that it’s alright to actually pass the puck occasionally, the Gophers will be there in the end. At least in the final four.

I see Miami in ranked #2 now. That shows you how messed up the polls are. They only have one kid from Minnesota on that team so they can’t be that good. grin.gif If they played in the WCHA they would be toast! So they beat Michigan… What good team hasn’t beat Michigan this year?

This weekend series with NoDak is crucial for the Goph's.

I'm not worried about the team yet, I wait until the end of January to formulate an opinion.... it's just too early with these teams to guess how they will be playing as a team later in the year. Alot of talented freshman on a few teams and if they can put it together... who knows. Other than Wisconsin I am not sure who in the WCHA I would say is better than us??? Maybe CC, but CC got swept by Denver and we took 3 of 4 points IN Denver!! Nodak??? We get them on their home ice this weekend so ask me about them after we play them back in Mpls on Jan 13/14th. If we can take 3 of 4 from UND this year then I say we finish in second place, otherwise a 4th place finish is possible.

It's been really quiet and for good reason...... Your gophers just aren't playing on all cylinders at this point. Like was said above, wait until January for an accurate evaluation. Talk is cheap in December. Ain't that right Pierre!

If they fall again this weekend, I won't be too sad. I must admitt they have been a fun team to watch because they can open it up offensively. Defense and goaltending are the question marks. I think another question mark is toughness. The gophers lack that Chris McAlpine, Jim Boo, or even a Matt DeMarchi even though he wasn't the smartest player in gopher history.

This weekend is going to be some fast end to end hockey. Two teams that open it up full throttle. No neutral zone trapping allowed, just two on ones and three on twos. More for North Dakota - I hope!

May the best team win!

You are not kidding!! Right on the money Red!! The defensemen on this team are soft, my criticism starts with Harrington and ends with the lack of a good backcheck. This weekend should be fun.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
