I'm saying that while UND was taking a bus from the hotel room and changing into their hockey gear in tents just prior to taking the ice (1998 Yost Regional), other teams were enjoying all the comforts of a home venue. How much fun did BC have traveling to Colorado a few years ago? The Tigers mopped the ice with the team most folks thought was a shoo-in to repeat as NCAA champions. Instead of having to worry about a long flight and all the logistics of that hassle, the jet-lag, etc, BC teams have typically been sleeping comfortably in their dorm rooms at mommy and daddy's house before taking a 45-60 minute bus ride to Worcester. I'm not talking BC having an easier road to all those Frozen Fours...I'm talking BC being eliminated BEFORE the Frozen Four if they were made to travel a bit further than the equivalent of Grand Forks to Fargo.

You forgot to carry the 1, but still arrived at the correct answer of 4 teams in each region.

Double not-so-fast, my friend on Slovakia over Czech Republic. Latvia over Switzerland though...NAILED IT!
-
You see, Oxbow, first they divide the 16 teams into 4 sections of 4 teams each, which they call "regionals." From there, each region whittles down to one team, which is called the regional champion. The regional champion is sent to what we call "the Frozen Four"...from there, the national semi-finals...

Not-so-fast, my friend!

He usually likes maple syrup, but he decided on Sunday that he wanted strawberry syrup, so I had to run back to the store and get some.

UND's last title was before the implementation of the 16 team, 4 region tournament. The 4 region tournament practically guarantees a region within close proximity of Boston College. Just sayin'...

I like bananas on my waffles!

Fail.

So far...so good!

But...but...but...we have a $100 million recruiting gem...the best tradition in the history of college hockey...the best fans ever in college hockey...it's far EASIER to win a title now as opposed to the 1990's or earlier...it's not fair that Hakstol hasn't given us a championship yet. I demand excellence as I've spent money on watching this team and cried over their losses!
-
I guess my point is that this thread or the game-day thread tend to blow-up with anti-Hakstol comments after ANY loss, regardless of whether it would be an NCAA Frozen Four loss or a mid-season exhibition game defeat. I would agree in your assertion that this place will absolutely nuke itself if this season should end with anything other than a national championship game victory.

My post meant absolutely no disrespect to literate and sober roughnecks everywhere in SW and NW North Dakota.

West side boyzzzzzzz...Mandan, Minot, Century, and Bismarck...it's time.

QB problem? If I'm AP, I'd be more concerned with his kids' daycare costs, which seem to be rising every day. Cassel for the next two years is the best option the Vikings have at winning...

I don't keep up much these days on sports in that neck of the woods...The Dickinson Press loves its bouncey-ball...hockey not-so-much.
-
I do too...a real second-coming of Ryan Leaf!
-
Really? What year was that?
-
Go Demons go!
-
REALLY? How about you scroll back a few pages and take a look at the blow-up after a holiday exhibition loss to a Canadian school and then let me know your thoughts.
-
When is Dickinson ever going to make the tournament?
-
Drone Patrol, there's a positive nilly in Sector 7 that needs to be taken out immediately. Hail Galaxar!
-
Let's not be ridiculous, 90siouxfan...do you REALLY think the Bulldogs are gonna score 2 on Saturday?
-
DON'T DRAFT JOHNNY FOOTBALL!

You are correct.
