TRUE 'DAT!

Yea, there are pluses and minuses to both. You have his stick from Milwaukee? I have connections here thru a mutual friend and could probably get that autographed for you. PM me if you'd like...

Michigan's perspective on the Sioux '97 team...
-
As they were reviewing that play to see where the face-off should be, I said that if it's in the zone, i guarantee a UNH goal. You could just sense it.
-
Michigan's 7th title was in 1964...8th in 1996, 9th in 1998. 96 and 98 aren't that stale.
-
I really thought the Brock Nelson-miracle 6-3 winners over the Gophers at the FF team was going to be the cinderella story...until I saw the regional bracket come out a day later. Buzzkill.
-
Hey, Irish, we agree too! I said during the '11 Michigan game that the TV time-outs seemed to frustrate UND...and it showed. The Sioux need to be prepared to deal with things that will happen during the game...perhaps stuff you don't have to deal with in the regular season. Lengthy time-outs, teams bottling up transition, changing from dumping the puck in on the PP to carrying it in when it's obvious the dump-and-chase isn't working...totally agree with you. Second point on the goalie...how about a tournament goalie just showing up ready to play? Giving up 6 to BC three times followed by a 6 spot to UNH in the 2009 regional. 2010-2013 has been better, but I still agree with your assessment.
-
Hey, I totally get it, and I don't take personal offense to anything most folks write here, including you. I don't think I slept for a week after the Sioux regional loss to UNH a couple of years ago...and the Yale loss...and the three BC Frozen Four losses...
-
I knew we had something in common...frustration. We need a 1997 cinderella story.
-
I can't find the exact quote right now, but weren't you at some point during the BC debacle also among the group of posters calling for 110% every time you step on the ice representing UND, whether it's practice or a game, fs4l?
-
Yale's beaten North Dakota twice in four years in the regionals...they must be doing something right. I miss players like Peter Armbrust and Brad DeFauw from the 1997 team - Matt Henderson, too. They weren't exactly 'blue-chip' recruits, but they were winners.
-
I didn't say you called Hak an idiot - that's kind of a generalization of the 'fire Hak' crowd. You may like the 18 year old studs coming in into REA, but Union, Quinnipiac, and Yale seem to prefer the 20 year olds who are going to stay for four years. That philosophy seems to be catching on as they've had some success out there in the past 4-5 seasons, whereas our 20-21 year olds are looking to jump to the NHL. Take a look at the 1997 roster: http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=204977254 Now how about the team 10 years later... http://collegehockeystats.net/0607/rosters/ndkm Which team had more NHL talent? Which team was better?
-
So on the 'Hak's an idiot' hand it's 'what have you done in recent memory?' but on the Union, Quinnipiac, and Yale hand, it's 'long term success' and 'grand scheme of things'. I'm still confused...
-
Fixed your post.

Isn't it ALWAYS a viewing party at Sugar Daddy's?

And if it wasn't for Maine's OT win over that 1993 Laker team, LSSU would have gone back-to-back-to-back! Now, they're drawing 1,500 fans a game.

Me either. Who are these bullies? More anti-bullying legislation, please!

You're still invited...but you can expect to get tossed out just like you would at any bar if you get drunk and obnoxious.

Says the poster who cuddles with his W-2 at bedtime...

I managed to survive a poster calling me a douche and a retard...you'll be ok.
-
Bully bully bully...can we please get 4,000 posts of your whining about being picked on? C'mon roughneck tough guy, suck it up!
-
You can't have the best players possible and the highest NHL recruits possible...without taking into consideration that they're likely at UND for at best, 2-3 years. Union, Quinnipiac, Yale...hmnn....those schools might be onto something with those four-year guys.
