My favorite Trupp moment was in his first game, I think, against Manitoba when he backchecked a guy on a breakaway and managed to lift his stick off the puck. I think he had to dive to do it, but haven't seen the replay in a long time.
-
A lot of criticism of the players' motivation last night, but it sounds like the fans were even worse. The place should have been rocking when they called the major.
-
You would go with the goalie.
-
I can remember living in the SF bay area in the early 80s having to make phone calls the next day to find out if they won. Not the best years for a Sioux fan to be in a hockey dead zone. Now, as to other things . . .

I agree, Wilbur, but I'm going with UNO against DU.

St. Cloud has been better the last couple of years, but a legacy?
-
In early December, an NCAA berth seemed unlikely. You have to count you blessings sometimes. The boys have actually done what they had to do the second half.
-
The shorthanded goal was actually a freakish good pass and a great play by the shooter. Our mistake was taking the penalty and letting him get to the net.
-
Wins are always better, but getting cc next weekend wouldn't be all bad. Miami is still dangerous.

And Notermann's old man over on USCHO. Wonder how many other parents post on these sites.

What about Sparky?! Will he never come back?

That's pretty much how I feel. And expanding on Hovey's first point, I want to be able to watch a UND team that is consistently among the best teams in the country, so the games are both fun to watch and meaningful. Hak's teams have given that. Hak has not won a NC yet, and we all expect that; but he also has not put us through three for four years like Minnesota recently went through under Lucia, or some of the bad years Eaves had recently, or some of Sandy's teams in in Duluth, or the disaster Miami has been this year.

Great parents and extremely athletic family. The kid lives for hockey.

I was there too. Jeff Sauer and CC in town, if I remember right. Those of us who began watching the Sioux in the old barn thought the new building was very nice but too quiet and civilized. A little like fans felt after the move from the old Ralph to the new.

Be nice to get a 3 seed or better.
-
OK, that's straightened out, but we can still do a little face-washing around here, can't we?
-
I don't think anyone is mocking Blais, scpa, as much as tweaking the "fire Hak" people by joking about what Dean could have done or is now doing in UNO.
-
And that blazer.
-
If that is true, he will definitely have to show he can develop that ability to game coach on the big stage when he has the talent to win.
-
That would never happen with Hakstol.
-
Some good points. It's not all the head coach, of course, but I think when we remember now good Frattin was we overlook how well his situation was handled. What happened after he left the program and returned to Edmonton was pretty remarkable, IMO, and Hak and his staff deserve some credit for that.

This is exactly the way I see it. I'm not sure the Sioux have had a better program coach than Hakstol. And I'm not sure how you game-coach any better than putting 40 SOG and only giving up one goal while the goalie is on the ice (Mich 2011), but I think he needs to do something. On the balance, it seems Blais recommendation that they hire Hakstol has been good for UND. They do need to win one, though, to keep recruiting the elite talent, IMO

They don't want to lose anybody for Friday night in St. Cloud. Beat me to it, Sprig

Sounds like things will start to go UND's way if they keep up the pace.

Heard Cameranesi's name a lot last night on radio.
