Grow up.

By being 'objectively critical,' do you mean spouting off garbage like 'FIRE THE WHOLE COACHING STAFF' or 'THE OFFICIAL JOE FINLEY BASHING THREAD'? I guess we agree to disagree on what exactly would help the team improve. Personally, if I had some overweight 45 year old idiot in the stands yelling at me and how I coach baseball, I'd invite him to get his fat ass out of the stands and join me on the field and show me what he knows.

I'm trying to recall, but I think the prom queen at my high school was knocked up. So, would it be better for me to have been a loser whining about doing my best or a winner?

I hope this was sarcasm. Lammy flying after Gerbe's goal was a bigger flop than Nicole Kidman's last movie!

It is a tough call, but if a fan base of a high-profile school like Notre Dame starts taking notice, you won't see college hockey on ESPNU on tape-delay...you'll be seeing it live on ESPN! GO IRISH!

Cmon, TRIOUXPER, don't be like that. This board is a place for constructive criticism, thoughtful insight, and offering opinions. Don't go down the negative road like some folks here on the board. Maybe the UMDDogz and PCMs of the world will come back once the bandwagon fans are gone.

Interestingly, I hate BC hockey and Notre Dame football. As far as Notre Dame's football team, I'm hoping they can duplicate THIS YEAR'S performance!

You're alive!

I've decided to turn pro today myself and will be watching the Capitals/Flyers on Vs tonight.

Gopher fans I haven't heard from in weeks are suddenly e-mailing, IMing, and texting me. Ugh...

Gopher fans are popping out of their holes today. The fear of the Sioux winning #8 has subsided.

Odds of me making Saturday's game: ZERO!

I agree totally, particularly after the blatant hit on Chorney.

Constructive criticism is one thing...calling for a coach's head is another. I'm sure Dave Hakstol, along with the players, assistant coaches, etc... will all learn a lesson from last night's debacle. Say what you want about the team, I'm proud of this: With the outcome of this game decided relatively early, the Sioux did not resort to cheap-shot penalties or penalties out of frustration. The players kept their cool and didn't go out and goon it up over the last period of the game just to let off some steam. They got smoked and they handled it without being foolish.

In defense of Jim and the moderating team, perhaps they don't have time to play board police today. My guess is when they're online, several of these threads will be immediately closed.

Really? Last I saw, Michigan won the CCHA regular season title and the playoff title. How recently do you mean?

I worded my post poorly. Sorry the confusion. Yes, I was referring to the 1983 season when the Sioux were essentially eliminated in the playoffs and fans had to stomach watching Wisconsin defeat Harvard in Grand Forks for the NCAA title. My original post implies a Sioux/Wisconsin title game, which wasn't the case.

I agree totally. There's little doubt that Gerbe was the best player on the ice last night...and it wasn't close.

Notre Dame has waited for years for #1. Count your blessings.

I would agree with you on JPL too. Michigan had no problem pulling their Sauer and putting in a freshman goaltender. It worked...until OT.

OK, I respect your opinion.

And I totally agree with this assessment.

Dude, I'm simply pointing out that Ohio State getting beat by Florida and LSU in back-to-back seasons doesn't prove anything more than the Buckeyes not being as good as those teams. Using your analogy, are you saying that Davidson would be the team to beat in the Big East since it beat Georgetown in a single-elimination tournament game? I've said all season long that HE and the CCHA are better than people think. I totally agree with you on the point of the WCHA not being the best conference in college hockey.

An even bigger disappointment than losing the NCAA title to the Badgers in Engelstad Arena? An even bigger disappointment than scoring two incredible goals in the 2001 final to tie the game in the last minute...only to lose the game in OT?
