Neither will the passivity and shoulder shrugging of fans like yourself. william.chaves@und.edu andrew.armacost@und.edu I suppose posting those e-mail addresses is a "tantrum" and/or an "antic" too?

Tantrums? I am stating historical facts. And the road from where we are now to the early 1990's is shorter than you think. Wisconsin collapsed in just a few years and they are still trying to fix it.

And these kids who are getting recruited can tell the difference in energy level amongst the various coaching staffs recruiting them. Schmidt and company are projecting energy, enthusiasm, positivity and an ambitious plan for greatness. That will make a difference.

THIS x 1000! I was there at the end of Gino's tenure; it was ugly. Very ugly. When Gino was pushed out, Virg Foss wrote an opinion piece in the Heraldo where he acted like someone had executed his mother. But the change had to be made and Terry Wanless (with whom I didn't always agree) made the hard decision. Blais took over and the rest is history. Let's please not repeat the 1991 to 1994 time period.

That's the million dollar question. I think this staff will land enough of them to start turning us upward.

Hopefully we'll be able to land a few of these.

I am guessing one of the assistants.

This is a strawman argument. Just because the success of a particular team doesn't "hold the meaning to life" doesn't mean that we should just be fine and dandy with whatever is happening, no matter how messed up it is. I was there at the end of Gino's tenure. I do not wish to repeat that experience.

It's pretty bad when we cannot remember something like that.

That is my take as well.

andrew.armacost@und.edu william.chaves@und.edu Tell President Armacost and AD Chaves that you expect better from the Flagship University of this state.

Please don't bring NDSU-CKS into this. We need an athletic director who doesn’t give endless contract extensions and thinks wins and losses don't matter. And 5 of our programs need new leadership (Hockey, MBB, WBB, VB and softball). And only Armacost can make it happen.

Then the "UND way" needs to change. Across the board. Not just hockey.

It was a reference to that nutty "All Things Fighting Sioux" group on Facebook.

The Wisconsin crash is what I want to avoid. They are still trying to recover from that.

That should be enough to earn Sather another multi-year contract extension.

You want some first rounders with the understanding that you'll have them for two years tops.

And sometimes those 3 to 4 year players end up being way better than you originally thought.

A balance of 1 to 2 year players and 3 to 4 year players is best.

To win Nattys, you need all four phases of the game (offense, defense, goaltending and special teams) to be functional.

There are people in Oxford, OH who think they should move to the CCHA.

When your players miss the net half the time, it doesn't really matter.

I think Miami has 9th place wrapped up.

Could someone please explain the NCHC playoff format with 9 teams?
