I like it. Wouldn't mind a home sweep right about now. Would be great to win a couple before hosting a weaker LSSU team.

I bet GOBC could buy him out easy!

1. I do like winning national titles. 2. I would say that if Hakstol doesn't win one before his current contract is up, that UND needs to potentially be looking at some candidates that could help get it done. Simple question: How many years do you give him?
-
You don't think that some parity has happened in NCAA hockey since that time? Just a coincidence that prior to Holy Cross knocking off UMN, that no #4 seed had ever beaten a #1 seed...but now it happens almost every single year? Doesn't strike you as odd that three of the last four national title teams won their first title (Union, Yale, UMD)...yet before those three the last team to win their first title was Maine in 1993? I am in full agreement that UND has had the horses to win a title in recent years, but just hasn't gotten it done. That said, I do honestly believe that it was "easier" to win a title in the 80's/90's/early 00's...back in those days there were 10 teams most years that had a realistic chance of winning the title. Now that could probably be expanded to 20-25 different teams each year.

I don't dislike any Sioux fan, whether they be a Hak Hater or a Blais Hater or a (slightly harder to find) Rube Bjorkman Hater. And I've got nothing but love for Blais. He is, as you said, a legend at UND (much like his predecessor).
-
I bet Schmaltz plays this weekend. Then the rest can just sort itself out.
-
It's similar to the Hakstol-haters, I would guess. Most of them just pine for Blais to return, thinking that he would right the ship instantly and bring UND 4 national titles in the next 6 years. It's just not realistic. Much like the Fire Hakstol thread getting started after the first loss of the season. I see all the "cheap shots" as just some posters making fun of the "Bring Dean Back" posters.

His comment makes no sense at all. They scored 4 goals, it's not like they blasted Duluth for 11 goals like Vermont did to Massachusetts on Saturday night. It's not a question of if they'll score on Zane, I'm sure they will...but his comment was humorous. And he loses all credibility anyway with that statement. Especially because of this: http://www.collegehockeystats.net/1415/boxes/mnabuno1.o06 Kenny Cameron from Northern Alberta would disagree with you, Ortega.

Who said Hakstol doesn't show emotion?
-
Saturday night thread starter letdown. Simple statement. Poolman at forward. Didn't expect to see that. Good to see Mac back at center. We need him to win some draws.
-
Eichel with only 2 assists. Weak.

Did you guys know that the line was going to be used in the movie (permission from the Spiewak family), or was it just a nice little surprise? -

Everyone loves playing hockey in a dry heat.

Get on it, Speez! -
Tucson? Geez, I can think of a ton of reasons why I wouldn't want to live in that ghetto crap-hole of a city.

I'd be fine with ASU joining the NCHC, even if it was temporary. It's going to take many years (decade?) before there would be enough PAC12 teams to start a D1 hockey program. You need plenty of infrastructure + millions in donations to make the jump to D1...and that's assuming that they already have a hockey program to begin with.
-
I'm ALL for this. Simply because that would make an easy 30min drive to see the Sioux in person when they visit ASU.
-
Why decommit and then still take a visit? That's weird. If you don't like the place after your visit, then maybe decommit (if that's your thing).
-
That all changes next weekend with the much-hyped #1 vs #2 in the PWR matchup between Mankato and Tech! I'm sure a few TV stations will be trying hard to get that matchup televised.
-
I actually thought that Murphy had 2-3 excellent scoring chances. He just needs to capitalize on a few of those if he wants to be put in the lineup consistently.
-
Impressive run that Tech is on! I could see their first loss coming next weekend against Mankato or 2 weekends later against Duluth. I wouldn't be surprised to see MTU #1 in the polls this week with UND #2.
-
We can sure hope so!
-
I think that is just what "dynasty" programs do.
