Regardless of no history, neither league will be as good as the old league. Hockey East in the current college hockey landscape will continue to be the best league in the nation. i'm not sure why either conference would want to debate mediocrity. ok, that's a stretch but i'm sure you can get the jest of it.Regardless of history it still managed to match the NACHO for competitiveness. -
I have watched this at least four times this week and love it more each time! But being there was unforgettable...
USA Hockey and I had grown weary of the goofer fans around us after going down a few goals, so we stood at the top of the rail on one end of the rink. also, it was easier to get a beer from there.
As the comeback was starting, Dave Christian happened to be right outside that section at a booth. As the Sioux started to roll, Dave stood and watched the 2nd and 3rd with us exchanging high-fives every goal! awesome experience to say the least.also, we told him more than once that Brock needed to come back one more season.

Minnesota Wild get a big point, and in the middle of a shootout right now with Chicago. Can't believe that Bryzgalov has been this good of a goaltender for Minnesota. Pominville with a chance to keep it going......nope.
Well the Wild are about as good as the Blackhawks when they don't have Toews or Kane. Magic number of points to make the playoffs before losing in the first round is 6.
kind of a sad statement. Also, Crawford absolutely gifted that point to the Wild. ugh. -
Blais style circa 1990's is different than Hak's style of play. If you think in those terms then you also have to agree that Deano doesn't play that style anymore either. Hak's system has always been an NHL style from day one. Good or bad in your taste, it is very close to the NHL style of play and it shows in the success that all the talent that's currently playing in the league. Would those guys still been in the show without Hak? Of course they would, but the guys that are good enough to play up there all play well in all zones and are good on the wall in the cycle game. Many NHL types have said as much about players that develop in this program.

Travis Zajac with his first career hat trick
Just caught the post game interview with Pierre on NHL Tonight. Wished the Sioux boys good luck and hopes Hak can win a title because he's a good coach. #firehak

when lucia was coaching the world junior team this year he was being interviewed between periods and the u s was losing and getting outplayed badly and about to be eliminated by i forget who they were playing but lucia says i like the way were playing and were just going to stick to our gameplan no changes. Needless to say u s got eliminated. Minn will do ok as long as all voes well from the start and continues. In game adjustments are a weakness of lucia. A few years ago i would have said the same about hak. But what a coach hak has become this year. Dont know why or how but hak has shined as a coach this year. Keep it up hak and we might get #8 this year

@UNDSID: "Haj, can I tweet 'hashtag fire Hak?" -- UND player to me in the locker room after last night's game.

classic.I would've like to see the game last night be played on an acceptable ice surface. so many turnovers and missed passes happened because of the crappy ice and inferior boards. (both teams) i think it had much to do with the plodding flow of play last night. ugly to watch.

UND is the better team but that always doesn't matter.

running team please in the BC/Denver game.

Gopher womens team could skate with this RMU team. oh boy.

Sometimes, in recent years, I've wondered if Hak's intensity has upped the stress level for the team come tournament time.
agreed. his loaded teams have puckered up in the big games. Hopefully he's finding the right balance going forward.
-
I guess this is how we measure success now.
The dichotomy is maddening. Hak has had teams like this and 2 years ago that have overachieved a bit. conversely, he's had the best teams in the nation lay eggs which will define his tenure until (if) he wins it all.

I will be in Vegas during the regionals. If you were in Vegas for the regionals where would you want to watch the games??
i watched games at the revamped sport book at Luxor a year ago. it's smaller so you're closer to the tv screens with nice chairs. Ceasars is classic too.
-
He's just a smart smooth player. That can come off as lazy, I like to think he's efficient. This isn't a Brian Lee situation.
agreed. he's a soph that will be in the NHL in a few years. i predict he will win league dman of the year next year. well, i guess if he feels like being that player as some have suggested above. unreal

Keaton Thompson.

i also saw deano on suite level
said some interesting things to me as well.
security please?

Good point. Your team is way awesomer than mine! Have fun with Bucky.
so wrong in many ways. #1. you just used the word 'awesomer.' #2. i would think a fan of the #1 seed wouldn't resort to going on a former rival's league-mate's website to stir things up. then i remembered your a goofer fan born with false entitlement insecurities and it makes sense. i guess i'm out of practice since i don't watch, follow, or think about your squad anymore. i will think about them for a few seconds when you're bounced next weekend by Clown/ND.

You've been saying this for a decade on here. Are you ever going to want RESULTS? Or do you just love the THOUGHT of being good some day. I'm guessing the latter.
I guess all i'd say to that is if you thought this roster was going to be top 10 in the nation and a frozen four team, you're delusional. You could see it from a mile away that this was somewhat of a rebuilding year, de-commits being the main reason why. i'm not a blind Hakstol apologist but i do go defending a bit because some of the things spewed here are ridiculous. This board has too many "great hockey minds" talking about systems and chipping the puck off the glass. Yes, Starman was correct in saying they needed to get off the wall and to the middle. well, the fact was that the players couldn't get there. Miami shut them down and forced everything outside. Is that coaching or that maybe these guys just aren't good enough? Oshie, Toews, Frattin, etc.. could've won a championship with you behind the bench, but they didn't.

This team's effort can't be faulted in my opinion. missing the finisher, the clutch player, the clutch goal...... Owned Miami in the latter portion of the first and most of the 2nd. woulda coulda shoulda.....came up with nothing to show for it and that was the game. it's a little bleak and making the tourney is going to take some luck, something UND fans haven't experienced for a while. That being said, the future is bright with developing defensemen and hopefully an influx of scoring touch up front. The team has grown and improved since the beginning of the season and are on the up, imo.

STAY OUT OF THE BOX!

the final kicker per twitter: they are not serving beer at the X today.

i would say 40% GF 40% Twin Cities and the rest are scattered amongst the other outlets.

Carey!! Carey!! He can be the underdog that wins over the 'flashy' player.

UND hasn't looked good the past two weeks at home against bad teams. Miami impressed me at SCSU especially offensively. Honestly I think Miami wins. I just dont think UND can keep up with a talented offense like Miami's when they're clicking the way they were in St Cloud. At least not this years UND team. Just not enough scorers.
you're right, Miami is hot but you wouldn't have said that 3 weeks ago. Yes things can change quickly but they also beat a team that was very human down the stretch. The team with no offense hung 5 against them in their own building two weeks ago. it's been a weird year and nothing will surprise me next weekend.
also, WMU and CC aren't playing 'bad' hockey at this time of year.

hahahaa all that hate from the Gopher fan(s)...? I take it as a compliment. If the SIOUX hockey team and fans can get this guy's goat this bad, we must doing something right.
