Matt Henderson...Jeff Panzer...David Hoogsteen...Brad DeFauw...Peter Armbrust...the only way players like that would get a look at REA today if they were 16 year old kids would be if they paid $5 and went on the tour.
-
That he's only busy trying to recruit NHL-caliber talent? Take a look at the media guide and REA itself. The showcase is being an NHL'er...that's not all on Hakstol.
-
How did Team USA manage to win the 1980 gold medal with that Eruzione slug and an NHL back-up goalie on the team? Throwing 14 NHL draft picks into the line-up is no sure-thing. How did Kentucky's vaunted freshman do last year in hoops? That's right...first-round tournament loss. Not in the NCAA's...the NIT.
-
Yes, yes, yes, because recruiting NHL potential for tomorrow is a sure-fire guarantee of NCAA tournament success today. Just ask Yale.
-
What's the solution? A cyanide tablet in each coach's pocket to be swallowed immediately after an NCAA tournament loss and a fresh-start the next season?
-
St Lawrence had two Hobey Baker candidates last year too. How'd that translate into post-season success for the Saints? Last year's 'alarming' Sioux season was about 4 minutes short of a Frozen Four appearance before it all went to heck.
-
I think I'm your huckleberry... The folks grumbling about Hak tonight are the same ones who think 7 losing seasons in 13 years is acceptable as long as there is one NCAA title in there somewhere. For the record, I expressed frustration with dump and chase futility on the PP right after the 2011 Frozen Four. Very frustrating, especially since UMD figured out how to carry the puck into the zone on the PP 48 hours later.

I don't recall Hak having had an 11-win season...

A Daddy WarPipes sighting! Happy Thanksgiving to you. 2014 Hogg thread up-and-running. Mark your calendar now.
-
...says the guy posting in the fleece hat thread at 1:14 in the morning, LOL!
-
If Goon put down his iPhone today and didn't touch it until the Final Five, er, NCHC Tournament, I would have to come up with 150 posts per day until then in order to catch up to him. Bonus points if fellow hat-wearers bump into each other this weekend (or anytime) and post in the hat thread about it.
-
You better lay off that stuff today. I'm sure your stomach is still churning after watching last night's Red Wings/Bruins game. I love watching red and white paint dry!
-
Just a slight revision...
-
Whoa whoa whoa...let's not muck up the speculation, rumor mill, and armchair hockey expert opinions by tossing out factual information...

Venues in Denver, CC, Duluth, Boston (U and College), and Minneapolis are nice too. I like old-school barns like Yost, but that's just my preference. Yes, it's a recruiting tool...but obviously kids go to other schools for various reasons too.
-
But, Goon, we have the nicest arena and it's full. Nobody can hold a candle to that, can they?
-
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, Boston College, Maine, Boston U, and UNH all expect championships and seek titles too. Hell, so do Yale, RIT, Northern Michigan, UMD, St Cloud, Denver, Lake Superior State, RPI, Vermont, Yale, Mercyhurst, Harvard, Bemidji State, Notre Dame, Ferris State, Providence...
-
Right. Dean Blais himself said that he thought the only reason Gino would leave GF was if he got a pro hockey job. Obviously that was not the case...
-
I was on the 2nd line of my mites team when I was 5...I knew then that it was time to find another sport.
-
Apparently 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6. Don't panic, letsSIOUXum. Typo on my part - you have 2 hats.
-
Yes, you did. Check out my math skills...
-
I love cake. Someone needs to bake one for the 2014 Hogg brunch.
-
So now it's a requirement that a coach at UND has to have on his resume a national championship of some sorts? What's next? UND only recruiting kids who played on teams that have won national titles as Pee Wees?

Tennessee fired Fulmer after a couple of down years at UT - he had won a national title there but folks were antsy after Florida won a couple and - POOF! - Bye bye coach. Dooley was a disaster and year one of another new coach doesn't look much better.

I'm not afraid to admit that I have no shame whatsoever. And yet, I remain 15,000+ posts behind Goon...
