  1. That is exactly what I said. I don't want Hak fired, but there are a lot of people on the board saying that there is zero chance he is ever fired. He won't lose his job for failures in the Frozen Four but it also doesn't mean the death of UND hockey if a replacement comes in. I don't have names for specific coaches and I wouldn't expect anyone without a deep hockey coaching knowledge to have that either. There are good coaches outside of Hakstol though that can move up. Of the "Top" programs with new coaches in the last 5 years I would say Boston University and Denver are the only two. BC, Minnesota, North Dakota, Michigan and Wisconsin being other top programs with all of those coaches winning a NCAA title other than Hakstol.
  2. Woog 14 Seasons 390 Wins 188 Loses 40 Ties .663 Win% 6 FFs 1-6 Record Hakstol 289 Wins 143 Loses 43 Ties .654 Win% 7 FFs 1-7 Record **Woog was fired after 2 sub .500 seasons and Lucia came in to replace him. Lucia won 2 NCAAs in his 3rd and 4th seasons. I'm not saying fire Hak, since I still believe he could go on a roll if he breaks through once. The team has also played much better the last 3 games in the FF and has not gotten "puck luck". That being said he goes below .500 for a couple of years and he could be gone. Also the Gopher hockey program has not suffered because they let a good coach go and they did win 2 NCAAs with the replacement for Woog. Another team to watch is Denver. They fired a great coach in Gwoz and were very good in their first year with Montgomery. Let's see where they end up the next few years. What I'm saying is that Hak is a good coach, but not great (at least yet). He shouldn't be fired, but isn't untouchable either. I would say that you can compare UND more closely to Minnesota and Denver then a program like Duluth or Michigan State.
  3. I went with Roughnecks and Roughriders. For the second one I don't really care if it is Rough Riders or Roughriders.
  4. UND should just adapt Anns as a new nickname. I'm sure the NC$$ wouldn't catch on right away. We would then be the N.D. Anns. (hint, hint Indians)
  5. Truth be told I've bagged on Hak in the past based on his struggles in the Frozen Four. He's had the best team in the nation going into the FF and not gotten it done. National Titles define the most successful hockey programs and UND is one of them. Having a 14 year drought has made it all the worse for the fans and critics of Hak. In a one and done tourney a little bad luck or hot goalie can derail anyone though. That being said, this year's team to get into the Frozen Four is an outstanding coaching job without question. It would be the best single season job ever by a coach at UND if he can get through MN and BC/Union to win it all with the talent he currently has. Not to mention as soon as Hak wins one I can see him going on a York/BC type roll. He needs a little puck luck and perfect his system and then every other team better watch out. The thing I think about is if UND fired Hak would you want him in the NCHC? I surely wouldn't, since I could seen him making UND pay for many years to come. That is the ultimate nightmare.
  6. '03 Exactly - 0 Championships in 11 Years. Pot meet Kettle.
  7. I like TO capitalize RANDOM words when I TROLL on other TEAM'S forums.
  8. I've been a fan for over 30 years and a season ticket holder. Haven't missed a Final Five or NCAA game in over 7 years, but I guess that is a casual fan for tnt. Idiot.
  9. Hakstol = Woog. Look at the records and the lack of NCAA success. 9 years and no National Championships is ALL that matters. Do UND fans care about anything else? Would you take what UMD has done in the last 9 years? I would, since they have 1 National Title in that time. Minnesota went with Woog for 14 years then let him go. Hakstol is running out of time in my book and honestly should on a short leash. No coach at UND has gone 10 years without a National Title and not been fired. That is a fact. 14 years is too long not to win a championship. I don't care about WCHA titles, WCHA tourney titles or NCAA appearances. National Titles are all that matters and Hakstol has 0. If it wasn't for nepotism at UND he may already be gone. Get used to underachieving, since that is what this hockey team is all about. 3 goals in 2 games vs Yale and Niagra. Seriously that is not coming prepared for the NCAAs. Dave Wood oops I mean Dave O'Keefe oops I mean Dave Hakstol needs to be replaced. Win it all or the season is a bust. 9 straight busts in my book.
  10. Haula drafted in the 7th Round in 2009 by MIN. Fact checking is hard in the Internet age.......
  11. Is UND doing FTA Satellite broadcasts this year? If so does anyone know the coordinates?
  12. Who is running the USA teams in Ann Arbor? They seem to be turning out a ton of kids who don't honor their word and flee to Major Jrs in Canada. pretty classless group of kids in my opinion. Give kudos to Seth Jones though, he seems to be the only one who has shown true class on not making a commitment until he has made a decision. I have a lot of respect for that kid no matter what his decision is. Time for UND to stay away from the USA Hockey prospects.
  13. I think everyone understands that this is a NCAA issue and not a D1 issue. They would not be moving back to DII they would be moving to NAIA or sports such as Tennis, Baseball and other programs would be dropped. UND sports would be NCAA hockey, minus Wisconsin and Minnesota for Mens. Exciting!
