I keep hearing from Hennessy and Berry that it’s a “process” full of “unlucky bounces” and “puck luck.” Seems to me that nobody else has scoring problems against the Golden Griffins...
Well, I just hope that the Magness Arena staff doesn’t arrange North Dakota’s warm-up pucks in the shape of an ‘L’ before the start of tonight’s game...
Hasn’t every game since the opening series loss and tie with Bemidji State been “win or bust?” I know some folks think this team has less luck than Clark W. Griswold in Las Vegas, but this team is who it has been since losing 2-1 to the Beavers.
Your two favorite random assumptions:
1) Hakstol would have never won a national title. No reason why not, just because he is cursed or has never won a title at any level.
2) We’re all OK with a string of down years as long as a natty comes around once a decade — as if that natty is guaranteed to happen.
Plenty of folks on this board railed on Hakstol for not winning the big one and said that some down years were just fine if they could just win a national title once a decade or so. Well, be careful what you wish for, because it sure looks like we’re in for a nosedive...
