as strange as it may seem, the two best teams in the tournamnet will be playing for the title tomorrow night. they both deserve to be there and I will be happy for either one. up until regional weekend I thought QU was a fraud as the number one overall seed, but they have impressed me big time. I think it will be a very entertaining game. if yale can get an early lead it may be their night. I hope the 2013-14 und men's hockey team will be watching this game tomrrow and realize what it takes to get there.
-
yep and I think I was the leader of that bandwagon. boy was I wrong about them.
-
you need that this time of the year.
-
I feel better about our loss to yale now.
-
if we get 63 goals from our freshman class next year we will definately be at the frozen four as well.
-
what happened to gary thorne?

john bucigross(sp) the espn college hockey guru.

looks like the empty seat syndrom isn't just for regionals.
-
if there is any wonder as to why UND is sputtering, just look at the makeup of the coaching staff and how many former players are coaches. it seems like if someone leaves they look to a former player player to be a coach. how many of the top programs in the country at either the fbs or fcs level have staffs full of former players. this is truly the good 'ol boys network, they don't even bother to do a some searching.

you asked when does UND win the national championship when they do not have the best team. I simply answered 1997 as michigan was by far and away the best team in the land that season. UND had the best team on paper in 2004 and 2011 and came up short both of those years with different coaches.
-
1997, michigan was the best team in the land
-
I will give gwoz a pass on the 02 team as they got screwed in having to go to ann arbor and ended up playing michigan on their home ice, like we did in 98.
-
exactly, does having it mean losing to rit in 2010 or ferris state last year or even missing the tournament in 2006, 2007
-
however, good teams are supposed to overcome that. the 07-08 team lost toews and still ended up in the frozen four the year after. that team had oshie and duncan coming back and this years team had kristo and knight. both teams struggled with consistent scoring the whole season. and both seasons ended up with a debacle of a game. would it have been nice to have nelson back, absolutely. but, we also had rocco for the whole season this year as well. I think a bigger impact was missing parks for half the year and he never caught his stride.
-
or how about 2013, umass-lowell,qu, yale or scsu.

when was anchorage ever on the ncaa map?
-
sounds like there is a mysterious fourth candidate to interview at du. eades, guentzel?

I can't believe louisville let this bum pitino stick around for as long as they did. it took him what 12 years to win a title there. this guy is horrible.
-
don't get me wrong, we lose a ton with kinight and kristo gone. but maybe next years could have an easier time gelling together as there won't be 6 months spent trying to find one player to fit on a certain line thus wreaking havok with the other line combos. I have a feeling next years team could advance farthr than the last two. I am fulling expecting a slow start and an unbelievable finish.
-
exactly, Rowney is not the reason this team isn't going to be in pittsburgh next week.
-
really? with the move to the new conference some of the series will have the feel of a non-conference since we haven't played them in a while(miami and western mich). I like our mix in the non-conference area next year. some heavy weights and some not so heavy weights.
-
what are the complaints about the northern michigan series?
-
we have to keep in mind that hockey has the longest season out there and you don't want to start adding 2-3 more weeks to the season. first round top 16 best of three at higher seed, scond round has two super regionals and then the frozen four. you add one more week to the season and solve most attendence/atmosphere issues.

go back about 4 years ago to november 2008, UND just came off a tie and a loss to duluth and essentially that week the main arena at the ralph was closed off, some kind of closed door practice or puckless practice or something along those lines occured. I'm pretty sure that they weren't a walk in the park.
