Or maybe Michigan is a good team and it is unrealistic to expect a team like that won’t control portions of a game, especially after a terrible bounce provides a huge momentum shift? I just think it interesting that everyone pining for the Hakstol days seems to be forgetting that his teams also consistently collapsed when it mattered. His only team that I felt actually brought it to the Frozen Four is the team that lost to Denver in the title game.

This doesn’t answer my question.

Serious question- How is losing to a team like Michigan by ONE GOAL not being in the mix for a title? Let’s stop pretending like they lost to the 16 seed.

Point was last night was not a blowout or embarrassment. Everyone claiming it is all about just making it the Frozen Four must be forgetting watching Hak get consistently owned by Jerry York and BC. That was just as disappointing for me as anything that has happened under Berry. At least Berry has brought home the banner that counts. Maybe could’ve had another but for COVID.

Are you referring to the 2011 team that also lost to Michigan in the tourney, but by two goals? Interesting how some are forgetting the number of disappointments Hakstol had in the Frozen Four. For instance, his teams repeatedly got outclassed by Boston College. Everyone I saw at the game from GF at the FF game in Milwaukee knew the game was over after one period. Hak could get his teams rolling in the second half of the season until the Frozen Four. It was a tough loss against a good team last night. Not an embarrassment by any means. On to next year.
