UND1983

To add to that, I am pretty sure Faison is the Chair of the Hockey Selection Committee because he is UND's AD, not because he is a great hockey mind. Why isn't he on the NCAA Basketball selection committee? He knows a hell of a lot more about that sport.

So that means he "gets" hockey cause he sits in on meetings about the legislation of it? My point was he doesn't know hockey to make decisions on the state of the program using his own intellect. He had little to no experience with it before coming here but had a ton of experience with basketball and football.

Dumb question based on the DU ejection: Is there a penalty in hockey for hitting a defenseless player? Like on that play when they are coming across mid ice and receiving the puck but get hit from the opposite direction....Or is it only a penalty if its head contact?

If he doesn't get BB then I'm not sure what he does get. It sure as hell isn't hockey based on his past.

You screwed up by starting a thread was that based on false information. Just admit it and move on.

WTOY candidate. Next thread: "Why UND's goaltending could actually be their downfall".

He wont be around long enough for all that.

Am I to assume Hak made some adjustments, that he never makes according to some, since St Cloud wasn't able to clog the boards like at the NCHC tourney?

UNDs defense was impenetrable all weekend. Not enough credit to them for that. Blocking shots, stealing pucks...unreal. St Cloud couldnt get a good look.

Wasnt Denver a top seed a few years back when they lost to a 4 seed? Were they the #1?

Mankato loves to lose NCAA games. That was not parity, that was choking. They didn't piss a drop all game.

"Welcome to the Rose Bowl as today we have the Battle for L.A. - its the #1 University of Southern California Trojans vs. the University of California Los Angeles Bruins. California Los Angeles is looking to pull the upset....."

Because it's easier and more common? I call them UND when I refer to the school, basketball team, football team, hockey team, whatever. "hey, are you going to the North Dakota game tonight"? Nobody says that. Ever.

Summit in 3 time zones now? I heard a few years ago that having a conference with teams in 3 time zones was ridiculous and not functional.

...and this is a bad thing? Did you watch the team play last year? Good riddance.

Dumb question alert: Is there just one ticket for Friday's games?

Both Adidas schools. UND could have those too!

Good one!

$400 for one SRO package? C'mon dude. If he gets that I feel sorry for the person buying it. Hope they can afford it.

Winning the conference tournament, yippee. We saw last night how much those tourneys mean. Nothing. Fun for fans and that's about it. I almost think they put too much value in the old Final Five. Seemed lethargic coming out if it.

Can they outbid the WCHA for the X?

The problem is we are in late March now. One bad stretch of a game seems to happen alot in March and April.

In case you missed the memo, the only way to win playoff hockey is to get lucky. Even though we are the #1 team in America, we need to rely on "luck" to win it all. Do you ever hear football or basketball fans saying their team needs to get lucky to win in the playoffs? I haven't. Especially not the best team.

Everyone, meet this years excuse. ^^^^^^^^^^ Was waiting to see what it would be - prepping a little early for this years big-game loss aren't you?

Does the 3rd place game move either team up with a win or is Denver set?
