Not intended at anyone directly. That being said, you hit on the head. Probs, bud.

You know for a fact he hasn't? Ever thought he loves it here and wants to stay and continue to battle for a title? Fans criticize both regardless, so, what's the point?

Agreed. There's gonna be some big spots on Friday and if we're so fortunate, the rest of the way, where he's gonna have to carry us, no doubt.

He's not gone. Not gonna happen.

Sure it's never been easy, but it's harder now. Hak took his full cupboard right to the frozen four several times. Not saying it doesn't suck to lose there, because of course it does. I just want to know why Red and York deserve the benefit of the doubt and Hak doesn't. My guess is that Red and York's cupboard got pretty full, pretty quick. Then, the won their titles later.

Who's ignoring it? We've been through this recycled stuff ad naseum. During those years of building those programs, were Red and York in contention? Did they make the tourney every year? Honest question. You also choose to ignore how different the game and landscape of college hockey is from then. So, maybe we're all picking our important parts to the "argument"?

So you're saying your argument is stupid until after next year?

Well said, man.

Absolutely. Giddy up!

I like the first set better, but I don't disagree with the apprehension of Schmaltz centering and his D play. That being said, I think what we need is scoring as our D and Zane can make up for deficiencies.

Lol well burst my bubble, then. I'm not upset... More green, baby lol

I think he will, too. NHL goalies need to be good at two things, IMO ... Positioning and shot/rebound control. Zane is great at both. I hope he stays one more year so can become a UFA and NEVER play for Boston ... Gonna be a treat to see this kid move on. Hopefully with a couple green banners in the rafters behind him

I expect it with Zane being the catalyst. They're only one week removed from a good win on Friday and a gritty, dramatic sweep on Saturday. I have the faith that the boys will find it. Can't wait til Friday.

Wow. Good for them. Cool to see their fanbase get behind a stellar squad. Looking forward to seeing them play this weekend.

It really is ridiculous. Two weekends ago after the sweep against CC, people were saying this was one of their favorite UND teams of all time because of how hard they worked and how they played and now after their first "losing streak" of two game in TWO YEARS, we all bury them. I understand criticism, after last weekend they certainly deserved it, but good lord, everyone is just mailing in the weekend. I don't get it. It was two poor games. It happened, move on.

No, no he's not. That's against the law. He's never the one who says that stuff. You're literally making stuff up. That stuff comes out through the media after the season. Hajdu cannot do this. It's BS for you to say that.

I really do believe we have yet to see the final level Zane can go to at UND. Special, special player. Last year's regional final was the start of something special and this year continued that. This tournament will be his legacy. I've known Zane since he was a kid, coaching him in little league baseball. He's just a great person and has always worked harder than everyone around him. He's loved the Sioux since the day he picked up a hockey stick. It's in his blood. Cheers, bud. If this really is your last go in the Green and White, it's surely been a pleasure. Put this team on your back and take them to the promise land, young man!

There is is. I agree completely. Book it, Ox.

Thank god. You gotta have the smiley, man. I can't read inflection

EXACTLY. Thank you. Again... EXACTLY. Thank you.

I said that nothing needed to be changed? No. I said throwing a defenseman who's NEVER PLAYED FORWARD BEFORE into a NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME, is too risky. And I'm extremely confused how any of you could think it's a good idea. But, nonetheless, think away. To each, their own. It's just not going to happen.

How long will we have to figure out if the Mattson experiment will work? 1 period? It's win or go home. So then if it didn't work, you'd move Panz there and completely make the Mattson experiment irrelevant. By that move, you reduce all-around skill on the forward group when improving skill was the reason for the move in the first place. It's just not gonna happen. Marto had a bunch of games down the stretch to get ready for that kind of change. Throwing Mattson in as a F in the NCAA tournament is just too risky.

I agree... but neither really meant s*it

Yeah, sorry, but not a chance a senior defenseman who's scored the team's leading point total since Christmas moves from the point for the first time in his career in the NCAA tournament lol. Also, moving Panz to forward doesn't add more skill.
