  1. Biggest differentiators from 11-12 to 13-14? Simple: Danny Kristo and Brock Nelson The 13-14 team simply doesn't have those horses in the stable. Cags and Rocco might substitute for Knight and Rowney on that squad... Lastly, the 11-12 team was not that good...so, to draw comparisons doesn't impress... I'm not going to quit watching, but I'm surely less fanatical this year due to the product I'm seeing... Flame away, question my fan hood, but I don't have the free world's supply of energy or time...I have to be judicious in those investments.
  2. I remember Duncan's senior year we lost our way to a #1 seed in the F5 too...and Yale was the last team in last year
  3. I was probably in mourning that whole season after the loss to Michigan in April 2011...
  4. So, it wasn't the Frattin led team. It was the injured team. I am surprised we ended up a #1 seed. I wouldn't have thought that just based on memory. PWR is an interesting thing...
  5. Aren't we all off by a year...wasn't the 2011-2012 (where Nov 2011 happened) team the injury plagued team that pulled the Final Five out of left field? That wasn't our best team, but they played with heart to win the Broadmoor. I am certain that they were not a #1 seed come NCAA time. If I
  6. Not exactly an easy transition to major junior. He really has had one bad game where he was a -3. His other games he's +1, 0, -1. He isn't scoring, but I don't think he is expected to in his current role.
  7. Hard not to root for a hockey team with a Blais, Zombo, and Archibald on it....
  8. I sincerely wish I could've watched the game on Saturday. Evn if half the shots were from the perimeter, that is still a shooting gallery, and presumably the best offensive play we've had as a team this year, despite the result.
  9. Just wait until Omaha wins the conference tile...this thread will hae one doozies.
  10. Not calling anybody out, but a pretty simple life lesson. It has been my experience that the wealthiest people in the room- well, you'd never know it, and they'd never say it. They certainly don t count it by the hour, it is by the transaction and by the year. The financiers always wear nicer suits than the guys that they're making 4 percent on
  11. Now I'm tracking. Although, to stay within the theme of this thread...they did win a title within recent memory
  12. Let's see, we are really excited by a 1-1 tie after 1 period playing an unranked team with a losing record. we've got a little more Sioux pride than that I should hope
  13. As the Boss famously said "down here its just winners and losers and dont get caught on the wrong side of that line." I think some posters might be Dave Hakstol's dad, and other posters- well maybe Dave stole their date freshman year.
  14. It's fair to say that the on-ice product this year is not up to standards, and most of us are unconvinced that this year's version can turn it around... They are playing hockey so poorly that it has to be a mix of coaching strategy and player execution. Both are on the head coach to fix. We have a program and facility that almost any coach would kill to drive. That means we have options, and the guy in charge is in the hot seat.
  15. Not the most rigorous analysis of a coach- simply looking at historical record. Way too many other variables at play. If you can them a year before they win a natty it proves nothing. In economics it's called post hoc ergo proctor hoc- a common flaw in logic- meaning after this therefore because of this. Nobody can prove what would've happened if the coach was replaced. The team might still have won.
  16. agree. We also don't have a stable of future NHLers that just need to figure out how to play together...
  17. good point- it reinforces that none of this happens in a vacuum. Do Toews and Oshie come here if Parise doesn't come here? Do Kristo and Rocco come here if Toews and Oshie don't come here? We'll never know. The bigger thing that I am commenting on is not that we are losing this year or that we haven't won a title, it is how AWFUL we look this year, and how often we look awful in the NCAAs. I'm sorry, scoring 1 or 2 goals per game is ridiculous, and it isn't all due to hot goalies or a left wing lock.
  18. Read the post above it. I agree that I made a mistake in the post...and get over yourself...
  19. and if I am off by a year, it doesn't matter- point remains the same
  20. You're right. I was still shaking off last night's cobwebs. What I meant to say was Bobby Motzko is coming off SCSU's best season ever, Miami was in the title game three years ago, and Sandy won a title two years ago.
  21. I've actually turned a corner- I think Hak is not the guy and is not going to be the guy. He's had the teams and failed...now, he doesn't have the team and is failing magnificently.
  22. two of the guys you called out have won titles in the last three years, with the third guy being in the title game in the same time period
