I've been watching these games on my television using an Amazon Firestick (where has this been my whole life?).

Most of the VHS tapes are in pretty good condition. Even the 1982 NCAA title game was pretty good except for that brief part early in the third period.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Thank you @Blackheart for all the effort.

The 2006 team was also very young and not ready for the big stage. I wasn't totally surprised they struggled in the national semifinals. The disasters in 2007 and 2008 were much more painful and harder to swallow.

Every time I see Wentzel's smiling puss, I know it's more bad news.

I was there as well and I went absolutely ballistic when that happened. That punk took two or three extra steps so he could plow into Kollar. If this had happened in a different era, Commie would have ended his career.

This is a true gem. I remember watching this with my dad when I was almost 8 years old. Thanks for posting this!

But isn't that a good "problem" to have? Having that many talented players means we'll get scoring from lines that usually don't score much.

That's the problem; it isn't supposed to be a "career award". If it was, Greg Johnson (RIP) would have won it at least once.

Yeah and then St. Cloud won in overtime on a bad angle shot.

It isn't a game involving our team, but does anybody have the 2006 WCHA Final Five Semifinal game between the Goofs and St. Cloud State? It was an instant classic and it foreshadowed what would happen at REA one week later!

Kaip and Watkins.

I am guessing he didn't want to leave UND after the cancelled post-season.

That is what I was hoping to hear!

Correction on the year: It was 2009, not 2010. And it looks like we completed the sweep on Saturday with a 6-1 win.

I think he had some health issues he was dealing with at the time.

Anyone else besides @Blackheart have games they want to put on YouTube?

Watching the 2000 NCAA final right now. All that slobbering over Boston College and Doug Flutie is easier to take when you know what the final result is!

Some years, they don't have a candidate from a "big-time" school, so they have to hold their nose and give it to a small school player. I think Ryan Duncan is a good example of this.

That I cannot explain. An exception to the rule, I think.

Sorry, but if Panzer had played for an all-Division I school or a school in a major media market, he would have had the award handed to him on a silver platter. There have been other goaltenders that have put up great numbers that didn't even make the Hobey Hat Trick. The Hobey Baker is too political and too much about which school the player plays for. We should have awards for individual positions (like we do with the Richter Award). Or should we name that after Miller too? #panzerwasrobbed

@Blackheart, you have just made my weekend! And it's not even 1:00pm on Saturday yet!

Yeah, the Panzer situation was way worse.

I did find this one on YouTube last night:
