You point out an example where that is true, but the coach that was fired is doing well in Anaheim, and Washington isn't close to being in playoff contention. Thanks for the example of why they should hang on to Hakstol, because not making the playoffs is a distinct possibility.
I guess we can just keep hoping. It works for the Cubs! Well, until the 2011-12 season where fans actually stopped showing up. It won't happen in GF since hockey is the only show in town although it did for a period of time in the early 90s when the Old Ralph wasn't even full for each game with half the seats. I am tired of the excuses season after season with Hakstol teams. Time to shake things up. Did anyone think Gino was replaceable or Blais? Quality coaches would be lining up to coach one of the most prestigious college hockey programs in history. I wouldn't be too worried about who we would find to replace Hak.

Lindy Ruff and Jacque Lemaire say "Hi"
So does Barry Trotz.
Bruce Boudreau says it is much warmer in Anaheim than DC...

Instead of dusting the old one off, lets start the new one up.
Time to fire the head coach.... The guy can't coach at all. Why do we pay him all of this money.
He's been to the Frozen Four five out of nine seasons. Hakstol's teams have won 20+ games nine season in a row, his teams have made the Final Five every year that he's been the head coach.
UND has won four WCHA Playoff and 2 WCHA regular season Championships under the much maligned head coach.
In addition, Hakstol's teams have made the NCAA tourney every year that he's been at UND and UND just because the team with the longest streak 11 years.
To put this into perspective, SCSU has won 2 NCAA games in their school's history. This is Yale's first trip to the Frozen Four in 60 years.
It's hurts that UND didn't win it all this year, but it's not like UND won't be back soon.
I will be back, again next season.
*The author of this post realizes that many are frustrated with the current loss of the UND hockey program. This a shot at satire. But also a place for fans to blow off steam.
If Hakstol was a pro-hockey coach he would've been canned years ago even with the record you posted.

Anyone else think Toews looks "off"? I am thinking he is hurt.
Awesome win to take it to game 7, go hawks.
He was getting hacked up often tonight. I think it was Edler who cross checked him twice across the back on one shift. Should've been a penalty on at least one of the hacks. GO HAWKS!!!!! Hate to say it but former BC Eagle Ben Smith is doing a great job for the Hawks. Really impressive player. I was really nervous Corey Schneider was going to beat one of my teams again. Too bad he ended up getting injured. Never like to see a player get injured unless they are a head hunter like that goon Torres!

It was a fun year until the very end again. Now that it is officially over, I am just curious who you will miss watching in the Sioux gear? For me, it is Trupp. I loved watching him play for the Sioux.

Sure wish we were on here saying Congrats to the boys on #8! :-(

Sorry guys I don't buy it. Puck could be on a 45 angle and we could be looking at the bottom side of the puck and some white pixels.
We have a two refs, two linesman, a goal judge, and many angles of replay. If not one of those can show a decisive goal I don't see how you can count it.
I think Michigan beats them anyways, but it certainly shouldn't have ended that way.
The picture isn't the reason I think it was a goal, the video from the front view is what changed my mind. I watched all the games today and saw all the videos replaying the goal and didn't think it was a goal until I was watching the BC/CC game and saw the front view video. I wish I had the video I am talking about where you can see the puck shot at him and then his foot pushing it out after it crosses the line. I will post it if I find it.

THANK YOU!!!
To everybody else who threw me under the bus, please watch the replay from the angle that larsensa is referring to.
DaveK - Here is a picture of it that I added to my post that you responded to: Picture of Michigan Goal vs. UNO

New technology: Laser technology that stretches a laser from post to post. or on ice post cams.
The laser would detect the puck when crossing the line 100%Or sharks with lasers!!

OK, I just watched a replay of the goal shown from the front view and think it was a goal. You can see the puck cross the line with white between puck and goal line. I don't agree that you can see it was a goal from the overhead view unless you just assume the puck crossed the line. From the front view though you can see the puck cross the line and Faulkner kicks his right foot forward and the puck comes out. I was very against the call they made until seeing this angle. The spot shadow replays ESPN is showing seems to indicate the puck traveling across the line but that still isn't a conclusive view.
On Goon's link it is the video portion at :27 that ESPN has been showing a clip of during the CC/BC game but it starts slightly sooner where you can see the shot coming in to Faulkner. That replay makes me believe it was a legit goal. Crappy goal, but a goal.
This is actually a picture that shows what I am trying to describe:

WOW!!! I am amazed beyond belief at how my point is flying so far over everybody's head here. Again, I had no rooting interest. I was simply trying to say that IF it had been ruled no goal AND the Mavericks had gone on to win the game it would have been extremely controversial. Seriously, can't even one person comprehend that? All I'm looking for is one. Anybody, anybody?
Not if the Mavericks scored a consclusive goal and won by the actual rules rather than stupid refs botching a call and giving Michigan the win after it took them 10 minutes to decide if it was conclusive. That alone should've given them enough pause and common sense to realize they weren't able to say it was a conclusive goal.
The NCAA should review this quickly and make sure that the refs that botched the game are not allowed to officiate another post season game this season. UNO worked hard to get to the playoffs and to have their season brought to an end like this is pathetic.

Glad this is working for some of you. This is the first time I have actually found ESPN3 on my xbox useful since I normally just use my system to play games. It is cool that games are OnDemand and you can watch them like they are on a DVR.
I am also very impressed with the image quality. Mine is showing up in HD and looks just about as good ast the game I am flipping back and forth between on ESPNUHD. Good stuff. Gotta love technology! I would rather drive 4 hours and
watch the games but its not looking good for this weekend! :-(

I was in Raleigh visiting a friend and we were able to score some great seats to the game via a scalper... Brian Lee and David Hale were playing together for the Senators and I thought some of you might like to see some of the
pictures I was able to get of them. Maybe they are boring? They are Fighting Sioux so I thought I would share. Threw in a couple extras too of some of the star players for the Canes.

it says i need a code?
Not sure why it is asking for that. It just loaded up on my xbox and same with my computer.

Monday's at Bonzers(I dont know how far back you're asking) is Pull Tabs!
I think THursday was cheap scooner nights back in the 1991 range...
-
Lightweight.
Our crew was at Whitey's, the Antique or Frenchy's nearly every night. 
Well, I guess I would make it out to the Antique on Mondays not sure what night the cheap drinks were at Bonzers? That may have been Thursdays? Maybe I was out more than just on the weekends.....
-
It is so stupid that people are singling out athletes as bigger drinkers than the rest of the UND student population. I was NOT an athlete at UND and I partied on the weekends like most COLLEGE STUDENTS!
Bottom line, Danny Kristo is injured and needs prayers and support. If you are not going to offer this, SHUT UP!

When I was growing up my coach Gomer Goetz was mad at my team for the way we played and skated us in what I remember to be a -90 wind chill at Lewis & Clark the next night after we lost. Not sure how we didn't all end up getting frostbite from that event? We were outside for 1/2 hour of skating only!
Hopefully Danny recovers. If he had to be hospitalized this sounds serious which could lead to amputation and all kinds of stuff. Hopefully this is not the case as I would think it may be career ending if that occurred?
-
Easy mistake. Zach Parise and TJ Oshie are easily mistaken. Happens all the time.
But, I don't believe we ever had a "Blaise or Gasparinni" either. No Blaise or Gasparinni as coaches and no Zach Parise as a player for Hak.
If Hak was as good, accurate and competent as you are, we

Horrible way to sell jerseys for charity, but with that all said, I got one
I am pretty sure I was having a tug of war with you and finally decided it wasn't worth ripping a jersey and getting arrested by the 4 cops standing right there. Can't believe I let go after being 2nd in line in the doorway where they entered. espeically since the 3 people nearest me all got one. I was so pissed. I have followed him since going to the Joe Louis Arena and watching the Sioux win the Frozen Four in 1987 as a kid! Anyone know where I can get Belfour to sign a jersey? If you weren't the guy, sorry, but I am pretty sure you were the one that came up from behind me and grabbed it and wouldn't let go after I already had it in my hands!
Time to Fire Dave Hakstol....

Well if Hak doesn't win by the end of his contract he will be able to add another accomplishment to his list, the longest dry spell without a national championship is 17 years from 1963-1980, and it will be 18 years at the end of his contract so he has that going for him!
All I can say is I am glad I didn't buy tickets and drive to Grand Rapids from the Chicago area for that game. Not as painful as the back-to-back losses to BC in Milwaukee and St. Louis since I had a bad feeling about this years team all year but it still would've been a long drive back home.
