Not only did Minnesota lose in the semi’s, they lost the 3rd place game to Providence (back when they still played it). During the championship game, Wisconsin fans carried a bedsheet around the walkway that read, “Hail Mary, full of grace, Minnesota’s in 4th place.” My first Frozen Four.

My wife and I will be there as well. My 13th Frozen Four.

I'm trying to think back to other seniors on the team. Cary Eades is an obvious choice, and my first guess would be that he played in all three games. I know Frank Burggraf was a senior in '82 as well. For some reason, however, I don't remember him playing in the '82 championship game. I don't know if he was injured or not. I also think Mike Stone was a senior that year, but for some reason I thought he was one of those guys who played at UND for a year or two, then left, and then came back, and I'm too lazy to look up to see whether he was there for all three years. It would have to be someone from that time frame, however, since we don't have three championship games in four years at any other point in time.

Strangely enough, I think Minnesota also beat all of the Frozen Four teams as well.

At this point in time, it feels like the NCHC is the only thing standing in the way of the B1G and total world domination. Three straight football championships, by three different programs. Women's hockey championship forever (I know, it's the WCHA, but it's the B1G teams winning it). Women's basketball champion last night. Decent chance at the men's championship tonight. DU and UND need to slap them down Thursday.

I would obviously like UND to win it all. As for an alternate, all I'll say is that at the beginning of the season I placed five bets on five different teams to win the championship, at the following odds: UND +1800 UConn + 5000 Michigan +900 Denver +1500 Wisconsin +6000 So yeah, outside of UND winning, I do sort of have an order of preference.

I prefer not to say. My father bought two of them, including the 1982 banner for me. Two others were purchased by a close friend of his. The fifth, the 1980 banner, was purchased by Tim Shea of Tim Shea's Nursery in Grand Forks, and I think he had it hanging in their business.

I do not. I always tried to sit in what I considered to be my "lucky" seat, Section C, Row 12, Seat 7. It was in the corner, on the student side, so what I imagine was the NE corner of the old REA? By the time the team moved to the new arena, I had long since departed the Grand Forks area, so I never got a chance at any arena memorabilia. I got lucky on the banner because my dad was at the sale.

I was. 1980-1987. And, as I’ve posted here before, I have the original 1982 championship banner from when they auctioned them off following the 1997 flood. Still my favorite team.

I don't care what the scoreboard says. I'm only one point behind jimdahl, and he's the smartest guy on this forum, so I'm going with that.

Gino, Hak and BB all made the championship game too.

There is a chance this Frozen Four will feature the four programs with the most championships.

Borek was pretty upset after the game. The post game press conference link is below. In it he talks about having to beat the "third team," and how they were really hoping for a power play, but I guess that doesn't happen "out west." He then remembered that they got one, and said "thanks for that, I guess." I'm guessing Jax doesn't reveal what was said, because it's probably not going to be too flattering to another coach. https://www.themackreport.com/p/postgame-press-conference-following

The 2034 gopher recruit class is wondering the same thing.
