How do we get an application for next year's Frozen Four?

I would too, because while Finley was fun to watch play for the Sioux he got walked a lot and had slow feet. I think both Mac and Blood have better foot speed than Finley. Also, I don't think Brian Lee will ever live up to the hype as a first round draft choice/defenseman, he is having trouble staying up with the Senators and looks like a career AHL guy at least with the Senators he does. I think Lee could have also used another year in college hockey...

Thanks...

That is a good point.

Skippy this is a Fighting Sioux message board you have no impact on if UND gets into the second rate mediocre Summit League. I don

What channel is that on?

And depression...

I really like Doug Woog, but Frank no so much. It won't be the same watching UND dismantle the Gophers and having Doug tell it like it is.

I think they look really bad as well as the ice in their arena's as well.

You're kidding right? just wondering, Blasi seems like a Miami guy and not ready to leave...

I think it's going to be fun just moved the games around. I won't have to leave much earlier. They just will have to make our rooms up faster at the Holiday INN.

That would be bad if true, I wonder if Steve Johnson would now be in the running for an assistant coaching job at UND?

I suppose it will depend what the Sabres want him to do and he could be on the outside looking in like he was this season. I thought he improved this season but mabye the WHL is what he needs.

I agree I think this season might have been some of his best work yet.

I think one thing I have learned in my 43 years of life is nothing is a given and you have to work for everything you get. This team learned a lot this year and I have think one of these days something going to go UND's way. Think about this UND lost an all American out of their line up and still won 25 games. That has to be good coaching.

So they lost what three out of four, that's quite a few first round losses before they made it back to the frozen four.

I guess if we are using some's standards.

yeah I didn't get that one either.

I just got to thinking about this, so the Sioux have lost two first round NCAA games in a row, Denver has lost 3 first round games in a row. Michigan just finally won a game after what losing three straight games in the NCAA tourney. If IIRC think two of those three years UND knocked them out. This time of year is really a crap shoot. One and done hockey.

I am thinking this next season might be the one.

You would think that Toronto is going to want him to prove he can do it again for a whole season and make a comittment to staying out of trouble and on task.

What do you suggest the alum and the university do? Should they fire hak? I don't think we can really get all that excited, this was a young team that over achieved in my opinion. They ran out of gas at the wrong time. If anything it will motivate the guys to not have to play in the Thursday night games next season.

I don't think we can blame the coach on this one, the guys didn't skate yesterday until the last period. The goaltending wasn't good yesterday, defenders let the Yale players skate unmolested in the slot. You can't win a game doing that.

Mike I think you're right this team really was young and it's a year away from making a move. Everything the Sioux accomplished this season was gravy. Losing sucks and I am going to miss Zajac and Vandy they are both good players.

That's sad if that turns out to be true.
