Found what I was looking for.
It was 2003-04. Tech stayed. Factor in a 10 hour winter bus ride home and 3-4 days later come back. I believe they set up and practiced all week in EGF.
About 25(?) years ago, Tech stayed in GF after the last regular season series to face the Sioux for the best of 3 first round. Anyone remember the year?
Careful there.
That’s like mentioning a perfect game in the 8th inning or the goalie’s pending shut out with 5 minutes to play.
Don’t throw off the mojo.
It was awful to watch live at the Xcel when Bina touched it on the delayed Sioux penalty. You could almost sense what Paukovich was going to do.
Prp. started the retribution the next year and Greene finished it about 2 years later.
That was a good read, thank you.
Found it interesting under: ‘Game News and Notes’ that both head coaches for this weekend are UND alumni. Berry ‘83-‘86, and Sandelin ‘82-‘86.
You do a great job Dave, blessings.
Old rink in Roseau was pretty cold, then when you were defending the east net, they would open up the overhead door behind the goalie to freeze him even more.
Red Lake Falls was cold also, with uninsulated corrugated metal walls and roof that was about 18’ over the very hard ice. The metal walls and roof seemed to transfer the cold in.
That to me, is what made it palatable to watch Doug & the Rug on FSN. Woog brought so much to the broadcast even if we knew he was a homer.
“Rusty, Sparky, Spirko.”
Coached to the regionals 12 straight years. RIP Doug. Good man, gone to soon.
What happens when J Brandt or A Kollar can’t stop a beachball after a Friday night game at Mariucci? Can’t you call up and play a ushl player for Saturday night in his junior team goalie pads?
pretty sad situation, 2 children dead, over a dozen seriously hurt
my child, your child, our grandchildren?
how are we sometimes ok being the worst possible version of ourselves?
