Sweeny

anyone tape the game? DaveK? I need DVD's of us destroying gophers in the final four for posterity. Also, being there I couldn't hear the commentary - which sounds interesting from what you guys have said

aaaahhhh, the drama. The MELOdrama even! Thanks for taking the time to stop by. We must have made your little friend actually angry! Ahh, I can just see him now; jumping up and down, shaking his little fists, and channeling the oh-so-distinct fury of a band geek snubbed. UND > Michigan. OK? just accept it. Of course, if you are at least slightly over half retarded you could always come over to UND's message boards and try convince us otherwise. but you have already attempted to do so; therefore, good luck, have fun!

That entire piece could be used as a case study of the "Inferiority Complex"

yeah, it was pretty neat meeting all the people who were at the FF. I heard Belfour was there, never saw him myself though...as we were painting up in the parking lot before the NC game Brett Stirling's dad walked by and chatted with us. Man, I hope we get there again soon, a Frozen Four is one trip I am always ready to make

It was a good year. A very very good year. Its a good time to be a college student at UND. Columbus was just great - here's hoping that I can make another frozen four roadtrip next year! (I am "U") Looking forward to '05-'06

same diff? *shrug*

oooh, rimshot. Let me add; "yeah, that would be so typical of the ball-less politics typical of today's 'leaders'" /I am sorry, I am a bad person seriously though, spending money on hockey is a much better idea than some of the other brainless schemes UND's stu-gov comes up with (no offense intended)

You guys should have got the word out on this a bit sooner. I would have been interested probably had I known last weekend, but I have already got my hookups set up now. I would expect this will be the case for most other students who are heading down there also. Goodluck though

I disagree. Its a more complicated scenario then that, because one needs to take into account the situation he was in compared to the other coaches (losing Bochenski and Z. Par) and the undeniable effect he had on this team's late season turn-around. Other teams have done better than us, yes. But one needs to look at the situation each coach was in and decide which was able to make the best of that situation. Therefore, your point is taken, but I believe Hak at least SHOULD have a good chance - whether he will or not isn't up to me

fancy, nice work there!!

This is true, but the principle stands

Go to the Frozen Four. If your wife/kids are so dependent on you attending a normal school function just to be with them more (since this is even an issue I expect you already spend plenty of time with them) over something as big as the Sioux/Gopher Frozen Four...well...you gotta work on making them all a bit more independent. I would be embarrassed if my dad had an opportunity to go to ANY Frozen Four and decided instead to attend a school play of mine. And, hey, I turned out absolutely great!!! /go Sioux!!!!

Excellent stuff, lots of gems in there! Thanks PCM!

I am also concerned about them letting him come back so soon after that outburst - assuming he does have a problem (though after viewing the clip I can't see how he doesn't - the display he put on suggests serious issues that could be dangerous if left unresolved). These things take weeks at best to cure - often it is several months before a patient feels "normal." Altogether its a scary thing.

Was waiting for that! Don't feel bad, it usually takes a little while for gopher fans who hop on our board to adjust...see ya guys in Columbus! I will be making the trip personally, I am expecting some very high quality hockey! ...and to pull the train back on-track; I would agree Sertich has the best shot at the Hobey! Good kid, good hockey player; best of luck to all the finalists

You're welcome, anytime

give duey credit for persistance though. Making a fool of himself once will not deter him from still trying...

Eh? I think you are mistaken...

http://www.uscho.com/news/2005/03/29_010515.php Great Quote: "Six of the eight games those four WCHA teams played in the regionals were decided by one goal, or two with an empty-net score. Three, including both of Minnesota's victories, went to overtime." ...though they forget to mention that 100% of the games that were not decided by just one goal were won by...UND!!! Yay us!!

I will be there!! Party of 4, no clue what hotel yet

to be pulled out in the 3rd period when the Sioux are mopping up against the gopher's last gasp: "we win when we want to"
