C'mon smokey, I asked for a SPECIFIC comment that I have made questioning someone's level of fan-hood...
-
So says the guy who tosses in some anti-Republican comments when he feels the need... Don't forget sunscreen today!
-
Please show me where I have accused others of being less of a fan than me. Please. I'd love to see the comment(s). Who said I only made one trip to Grand Forks? I had season tickets until about 2004 or 2005 when my own kid got into hockey and baseball. Sorry, smokey, I love hockey but getting to games every week is no longer priority number one. But, again, why am I busy justifying myself to someone living a life of champagne wishes and caviar dreams in sunny Arizona?

Well of course Sioux fans had fun at Doug's expense AFTER the 1997 title season!
-
No worries, I totally get your point. The cupboard was bare after the 00 and 01 juggernaut was done. gfhockey would have wet his bed suffering thru that 02 season...and would have been screaming for Blais' head!
-
I agree with your points except on the season record issue. Until Hak puts together consecutive losing seasons, the comparison isn't 100% accurate.
-
17-22 and 15-19-9. Doug Woog's last two season records. That's why he was let go.
-
So just before slamming Republicans, you post THIS? How is the pool weather this morning in Arizona?

It's mob rule here on SiouxSports.com...kind of like Harry Reid's new nuclear-option Senate.

I've made dozens of trips to Grand Forks, Minneapolis, Duluth, St Cloud and Mankato over the past 20 years. Every WCHA Final Five ever held at the X along with several at Target Center and the old St Paul Civic Center? Check. The 1998 western regional at Yost? Check. The 2006 western regional in Grand Forks? Check. 1997 Frozen Four? Check. And you want me to justify my fan-hood to YOU?

Money doesn't always buy success, gfhockey. Walking on granite floors inside REA doesn't automatically mean better hockey players.
-
Maybe you and the oil big-wigs you work for can put together a billion-dollar-a-year offer to lure Jerry York to Grand Forks for a season or two?
-
Maybe Toews needed Patrick Kane alongside him while at UND?

No, your point was that two of those three coaches had won national titles with the third coach having made a title game appearance and that statement was completely wrong. Besides, had UND beaten Yale to advance to the Frozen Four and then promptly lost to UMass-Lowell in the semi-finals, people here wouldn't be any less happy on this board than they are today. Hell, if UND had lost last year's national championship game, the firestorm would be even worse today.
-
I'm stunned a moderator hasn't given you a time-out yet with the slur you keep throwing around at Minnesota...I can only assume its a matter of time before one finds it though... Yea, Minnesota has two natties since UND's last...and those are pretty stale in the memories of Gopher fans now too since they're over ten years old! Not a lot of difference between 2000 and 2003 in my mind.
-
Well, DUH, keikla! She obviously read the front and back of the hat you were wearing!
-
LSSU scored with about four-and-a-half left...a shorty by the Lakers? 3-2 LSSU win. Notre Dame upset by UMass-Lowell too, 3-2.

I have researched this for quite some time now and have yet to discover another game in college OR professional history where a team scored an empty net goal in a championship-deciding game and went on to LOSE the game. What happened with Miami vs BU a few years ago was a one in a million freak of nature event. And you're 100% correct, sprig. Had DH been at the helm and that been UND losing to BU in similar fashion, I cannot imagine the hate that would be spewed on this site. Think Minnesota and its knee-jerk reaction to firing Glen Mason a few years ago after the Gophers blew a 40something point lead and lost to Texas Tech in their bowl game. They fired a coach who had beaten #1 or #2 ranked Penn State in Happy Valley AND a highly-ranked Ohio State team in Columbus and replaced him with Tim Brewster, an epic fail that trumps all epic fails. Michigan had a down year with Red last season...Jack Parker had a few with BU...Lucia had a couple with Minnesota...Sandelin has had plenty of them in Duluth...hell, Dean Blais had one in 2002 and a bad one at that...perhaps this is Hakstol's time...we'll find out. I, for one, am tired of reading how 'talented' this team is and how the blame is all Hakstol's. Talent on paper should mean titles, right? Take a look at the NFL Atlanta Falcons who, on paper, looked like Super Bowl favorites in August. How are they doing now? San Francisco won the World Series last year...and had a disastrous season this year. If NHL-caliber talent alone decided college hockey championships, I suggest someone give Yale a call and find out their secret to last year's success. How many NHL guys were on UND's last national championship team in 2000? Hmnnnn...

False. Blasi has not won a title in the last three years at Miami (or in his entire tenure at Miami, for that matter) and St Cloud was not in the title game last year in its first Frozen Four appearance in school history.

#2 Providence College upset at home tonight by UNH.

European players are more highly evolved than those born on the North American continent? I am dying to read your basis for this theory!
-
Everyone's welcome to attend, gfhockey. Even Gopher fan friends of mine have made an appearance at previous years' events.

Wilbur told me a week ago that it's time to start the Hoggsbreath thread...but I figured I would wait until today to actually get the ball rolling...we're exactly four months away from the day, folks, so write it on your calendar now - Saturday, March 22nd starting at 11:00 am! If you missed last year's brunch, you missed a ton, so you'll have to come next March and hear all the great stories so you too can be part of the inside jokes including: the biggest win in Sacred Heart's hockey history... why the '97 team losing in the NCAA's to Michigan is all my fault... Wilbur's dad gives his thoughts on Rube Bjorkman... sprig shows everyone his meat... Wow, I get all of this just for driving to Little Canada next March? Yes, but if you act now, you also get to see a Sioux slogan on the Hoggsbreath sign...a group picture taken after the brunch...and, if you're lucky, maybe a t-shirt, hat, or other memento of the occasion. Act now! NorthDakotaHockey and Daddy WarPipes are standing by...

No, no, no, southpaw, you're obviously getting your Bible stories mixed up...Siouxman only landed somewhere off of I-94 between Minneapolis and Fargo because that's where the ark finally ran aground.
-
I'm don't believe Siouxman meant that in the way you took it. Trust me, at 45, you're a 'whippersnapper' just like me in his eyes. The guy's been watching hockey since the United States was referred to as 'the colonies.'
