And here is the team that started it all. It was so sweet to stick it to Amy Ruley in the Bison Sports Arena in the regional final (and during the next two years as well)!

And here is the 1998-99 Team, the third leg of the Triple Crown:

Here is the 1997-98 team:

Nobody is forcing you to post here. Don't like it.....leave.

So you admit you are a troll?

Why don't you contribute something meaningful to the discussion?

Everybody starts out somewhere. Based on this logic, Clifford would never have been hired at UND. It is also unlikely that Shirley would leave after less than 3 years on the job; he seems like a North Dakota lifer. We need stability and loyalty right now, not more instability and wanderlust.

Well played sir, well played!

As long as the Unholy Trinity (Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky) isn't in the Final Four, I am okay with whomever wins.

Look at all the North Dakota kids who are playing college hockey elsewhere. We should get more of them then we do.

The facts are what they are. Look at the won-loss records, league finishes and lack of NCAA appearances and you see a downward trend for this program. Will it be better next year? That is very possible, but until we see it that is pure wishful thinking. And for the record, I am not an investor. The stock market is basically legalized gambling; very risky when you don't have a real-life crystal ball.

Which is cause for concern.

The question is, how quickly will the freshmen adjust to the college game and start contributing offensively. The sooner the better.

The current trend for this program is down, down and down some more. If we were a stock, I wouldn't buy it. And if I owned it, I would sell as quickly as possible. I don't blame people for being frustrated, especially since it looks like Berry is going to Stand Pat with everything.

Nope. Remember, we can't afford to do anything about anything around here (sarcasm). Bill Chaves, you have your work cut out for you (and not just with hockey). Good luck.

Very sad news. Puts my problems into perspective, that's for sure. My condolences to his family.

UMass looks like the most complete team of the four.

That depends on how quickly our freshmen adjust to the college game. They could really give our offense a boost.

Which was today. Their luck ran out.

I don't think they are good enough.

Rob Bollinger. Former offensive coordinator for UND football. Took a job at Bemidji State. His son Brooks was a starting QB at Wisconsin and later played in the NFL for the New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys.

Okay, Mr. Beanpot. Boston College and Boston University. That better?

I really dislike Minnesota, Denver and the two Boston schools (BC and BU). Everyone else is "Meh".

Not Frozen Four, WCHA Final Five in St. Paul. Before the league was butchered and watered-down.

I went to enough Final Five tournaments before realignment and the hate for Gopher Nation grows on you quickly.
