Has Philly fired Hakstol yet? Asking for a friend.

I like it, Sicatoka!

Nice find, Fetch!

In for @cberkas Czech Republic 2 USA 2

Never mind...I'm confusing the Czech Republic with Poland.

Isn't Wiesnewski wearing the wrong jersey?

Ryan Donato...Troy Terry...those names sound familiar.

Ryan Zapolski...Noah Welch...who are these freakin' guys?

I've seen livelier crowds at Mariucci...

My USA jersey is cooler than yours, Nike. It's not rocket science.

BOOM!

YES!

Blue USA jersey for me, @Pump It Up!

Yea, really embarrassing to lose a state championship game.

Almost 20 years ago! You're welcome, Red!

4 years?

They 86'd Olympic baseball and softball because it supposedly wasn't competitive enough (and are now bringing them back in 2020)...but women's hockey is? Outside of the one Sweden upset in the Olympics, it's a**-kickings all around until the gold medal game. Yawn...

We're on the same team here, Old Fella. I'm not sure how up-to-date you are on the board, but we have lots of pre-2016 folks here who felt that a Sandelin-like record over the course of a decade would be perfectly fine if the team won 1 title. Well, now that title has happened within recent memory, but this board still melts down after every loss. There are no guarantees. It might be 2091 before North Dakota wins another one. I'm hardly a guru...just a fan, like pretty much everyone else here. Attended UND from 88-92 and watched some pretty disappointing hockey. All bad memories were erased by the 97 team and then -- BOOM! -- 00 gives me some more good times. 16 makes 3 NCAA titles since I've followed the school and the team. I could die happy sports-wise tomorrow, although I hope that sports victories aren't the highlight of my life when it's over. We are spoiled as fans - and those who don't think as such are plain wrong. Yes, we've had some low lows, but we most certainly have had more good fortune than misfortune. And we all hope that that continues. May God bless you all...and may God bless the University of North Dakota.

My point is that the folks who suggest that Hakstol was a "loser" for North Dakota could not be more wrong. I want Brad Berry to succeed as much as anyone, but if his W-L record after 10 seasons is .500, it would be hard to say he's a better coach than Hakstol all because he won 1 national title and Hak won 0.

Cam just sent me a Yahoo IM and told me to tell you "thanks" from the team.

I used to chat up the players in the 2000-2013 era when the tournament was in St Paul...every player I mentioned the board to would say that they NEVER went on SiouxSports and implied that Hakstol didn't want them on here. Either they were fibbing or Berry has loosened up the internet restrictions. #ferdaOxbow6

Even more impressive is the fact that @sprig @Siouxman and @NorthDakotaHockey have personally been in the stands for all but 7 of those wins!

Wifi hot-spot set up for UND just Thursday night...

Just got done on Skype with Gardner...he says he's going with Steph Curry for NBA All-Star MVP...
