Just heard one of the announcers talking about past MVP award winners and one of the announcers mentioned the University of North Dakota when they listed Toews. Always good to hear the pro ranks mention North Dakota. Congrats to the Boston Bruins though on winning the Cup.

I wasn't thinking of it in that sense. More like I'd rather not give any Canadian/Canuck fans something to gloat and cheer about.

I don't really like the Bruins or Canucks but one thing is for sure, I'd rather have a USA-located team win the Cup.

I just want to give my prayers to any fellow people residing in Minot and Bismarck. Evacuations have been ordered in areas of Minot by tomorrow night. KXMC News - Minot

I agree, I wouldn't be surprised to see a typical struggle at the beginning in the first half and pick it up in the second half of the season. Also wouldn't be surprised at all if it was potentially vice versa. Anyways, still sucks to see Gregoire go. He was a great two-way player and I think the Sioux are really going to miss his presence on the PP/PK.

Tampa Bay beats the top-seeded Capitals by the score 5-3, sweeping the series. Didn't see that happening.

Yep, Fox College Sports aired quite a few UND football games last season while of course airing all UND men's hockey home games. @darell1976: I was trying to be a little nice so I only said dozens.

Fact is, if the rivalry restarted the Fargodome would sell out in a heartbeat if the rivalry restarted and vice versa when the game would be played in Grand Forks. As for those who don't care, you don't have to but I bet if the two teams started playing again the majority of you will be there to watch it live. Well maybe except the guy from Wyoming. Now this doesn't mean I'm for the two teams playing again because I honestly don't care either way. However, I'm not afraid to say that if the two teams started playing again I will be there. That is like asking why there are dozens of threads dedicated to UND on their message boards.

Lucky for them it isn't a one and done format. Being shut out by a red-hot goalie in the post season in one game isn't a season ending blow like it was for the Sioux.

I wonder how Dylan Olsen is feeling after seeing the team he bolted from win its first National Championship? Congrats Dogs.

It isn't just the Gophers though. The Islanders signed Matt Donovan after playing 2 seasons in Denver.

Congratulations to Scott Sandelin and the UMD Bulldogs on winning their 1st National Title. I don't think UMD fans will be calling for his head for at least 2-3 years lol. Gotta say, UMD winning really eases the Sioux loss for me. Plus WCHA pride.

That is pretty cool. Gives a little hope he may come back for his senior year. If he does decide to come back, he'd definitely get a C or A patch. He could have a hell of year much like Frattin did if he comes back.

So what does every think the chances are that Gregoire decides to forgo his senior season? Considering that the New York Islanders own his draft rights..my guess is that him leaving early is above 50%. Who are the other big possibilities of leaving early?

If you call what I said in reference to Hakstol as "Hakstol bashing" then I don't know what to say other than it is just the facts. People are expecting him to bring a National Title back to Grand Forks and so far his teams haven't pulled it off. I'm guessing he's gotta have some results within the next few years or he'll be let go just like Doug Woog was for not winning a National Championship. Definitely can't rip on him though. The cookie just didn't crumble in the Sioux's favor tonight.

The Dave Hakstol == Doug Woog comparison continues on. He's definitely got a couple more years but he needs to bring home a National Championship sooner rather than later.

A soon-to-be watered down WCHA banner. Sorry, game loss depression is settling in.

Gotta tip your hat towards Michigan. They got that goal and played defense the rest of the way. If we would've got the first goal, Michigan would've started pressuring thus cause some mistakes here and there...

And just like that...season is over.

This is frustrating to watch. Come on Sioux just gotta get one in and things will start going. GO SIOUX!!!

Talk about being a negative nancy. Relax! 2 more periods left for the Sioux to show Michigan what Fighting Sioux hockey is all about.

Lets go boys, lets have a good 2nd period.

LETS GO SIOUX!!! One game at a time.

Anxiety, excitement, and anticipation. I don't think I'm going to be very productive today with my mind on the game...GO SIOUX!!
