I didn't support Mussman.
The second he finishes 4th in the league can him. Or at least you can have a valid discussion about it. But he has yet to do that.
It's simple you don't think about firing a guy that has finished top 3 in his new conference every year for a bad road OOC record.
Simple statement.
I heard there's a new policy at UND. Anytime a coach has even at UND for more than five years and in any given year after if NDSU makes the playoffs and that UND sport doesn't. UND coach is automatically fired.
"Too expensive." I think that's the point that many try and make. Too expensive means less die hard fans might not go because of price. Two people going to the weekends games retails for $200 (not complaining just pointing it out).
Too expensive leads to business buying tickets and giving them away to employees. My best friends dad owns a prominent company in gf and they buy 8 season tickets and give them away at work through a drawing for that weekends games (They also have ad sponsorship at the Ralph).
It'd also be a dream scenario for the teams to be Alabama, TCU, Oregon, and Flordia State for the committee as it's four different conferences represented.
I would happen to guess that the expansion and exposure of college hockey (AZ State/PAC 12 hockey) might just be what keeps tipping the scales toward USA college hockey over major juniors.
Like many have said. Go to major juniors to pad your stats rather than playing against bigger more physically mature college players. But the problem is there are only so many scholarships currently available at the college level any given year.
My disappointment has been that Hakstol has only been to the title game once. It's not like he's constantly losing in the championship game. He's good at the regular season and getting to the frozen four. After that not so much.
Darrell was just waiting for UND to lose to a "lesser team."
Hakstol would/should have been fired long ago then.
No coach has taken as long as UND has to win no championships than the current men's hockey coach.
UND men's basketball "almost" has made it to the NCAA "dance." Which no UND men's basketball coach has ever been close to achieving before!
Omaha is 4th in the Pairwise.
UND is 12th in the Pairwise.
The Pairwise is actually used to select NCAA tournament teams.
The polls are not. So doesn't that make the polls irrelevant?
Why do we continue to put the polls ranking next to the teams on the tv? You'd think UND was the better team, but according to the thing that ACTUALLY selects NCAA teams they are actually reversed. Doesn't his create confusion?
