Fast forward to 53:55 of this game and you can see the master himself, Robbie Earl, take a penalty for diving. BTW, I watched most of this game tonight and it was just a tremendous effort by both teams. Miss the WCHA!
I'm trying to remain positive but at some point you are your record. True, they could go on a run at the end of league play, but that would be different than the inconsistent results seen throughout the entire season. Our longest winning streak is 4 games in December against Miami and St. Clown. (excluding the exhibition win against Manitoba)
Canada vs Sweden starting at 7 pm CST. Just realized that this tourney does not include Team Russia...sounds like they may be banned from the 2026 World Championships as well.
One thing I think Brad does very well is keep guys off the ice until they are healthy or not in danger of making an existing situation worse. If Perron isn't 100%, (or pretty close) I doubt he sees the ice.
He was supposed to go to Sconny...I think he had a cousin/uncle that went there in the early 2000's.(Dan Boeser) The Badgers were just coming off the 2014-15 season where they only won 4 games. He opened up his recruiting and I believe it was Hakstol that convinced him that Grand Forks was where he needed to be. Mike Eaves probably should have been shown the door after that season but coached one more year. (UW won 8 games in 2015-16) So a program in freefall loses a prize recruit which directly impacted the Sioux march to title #8.
