back when they won the titles in in the 50's and 60's there were only 4 teams in the NCAA tournament. in the early 80's there were 5 teams, than in the mid 80's there were 8 teams. Than when they moved to the early 2000's they moved to 12 teams. At present day there are 16 teams that play in the national tournament, so I would say the times have changed a little bit. Now I am not trying to take anything away from there old titles but I am just saying that it isn't as easy to win a title anymore. There are more teams, the format has changed, players are evolving each year. It would be nice to win a national championship soon too but I realize that it isn't easy to win and it shows that the best team isn't necessarily the team thats going to win. I'm not quite sure why everyone wants to fire Hak every year he has been a coach!

and they just handed out national titles like candy back than?

i want to win a national title too but i am also realistic about NCAA hockey and how it works.

Tippet is a Jack Adams award winner, Murray isn't...

I love all the couch coaches and couch AD's that are on here. If coaching hockey and winning championships, why isn't everyone doing it?

Tippet isn't coming to Grand Forks, don't care how delusional you and your "GOBC" are...

that shows a program that is in shambles than, real great for national exposer! i'm sure glad none of you people are UND's AD, we would be the laughing stock of D1 hockey!

but they dont suck!

i wouldn't mind if you left....

my point is (it was made earlier) Hak hasn't had a losing season at UND since he has been head coach. what happens if gfhockey and the GOBC get hak fired and the next coach doesn't have a winning season for the next 3 years?

whats a matty? when was the last-time hak had a losing season?

according to everyone here Gino was god and thats who Blais took over from...

Blais also inherited a gem in the new ralph, you forget that. An arena helps recruiting but it doesn't guarantee victory. Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

the arena was open in 2001, blais left in 04.... nice try though

this is how you argue.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg

by your logical it wouldn't be haks fault he didn't win a national championship as a player, it would be his coaches fault. red berenson has been at michigan for 30 years and only won 2 national championships. it took jerry york 12 years to win his first national championship as a coach and than another 17 to win his next one.

His assistant coaches do most of the recruiting. Brad Berry is always on the recruiting trail.

Larry Coker won it his first year!

it was two steps, his last step was him falling forward.

they have been calling that for a long time. its a stupid technicality.

its been happening to me a lot lately.

anyone in the MPLS area going to be watching the game? I think the wife and I will be heading to Sensors

I like the idea...what does everyone got they they are willing to part with? I got an autographed Zach Parise Fighting sioux puck if anyone is interested

sounds good to me. What do you got?

Pretty sure he won't be suiting up but you never know with Zach or his family. Thoughts and prayers go out the Parise family and any other family that has lost a loved one recently.
