    Eidsness was trash. He was the achilles heel for some good teams.

    Eids seemed like a great guy and pretty smart to boot, but he was out of position more times than I care to remember. Then he lost his spot to Dell so definitely wouldn't include him.

    Also, Blood could really punish guys but don't think he fits either. Just my opinion though!

    I agree Eidsness was not the best, pretty sure he gave up a short handed hat trick to a Mankato player. I was giving the best "4 year" player for each position, since 2005 when I started watching. I think only Eidsness and JP Lamoureux were starters that stayed  the full 4 years. 

  2. I became a Sioux fan when I moved to Grand Forks in 2005, so I don't really know about a lot of the players in the past, but what I've seen I can narrow it down to-

    Forwards- Matt Frattin, Ryan Duncan, Caggiula 

    Defensemen- Chay Genoway, Ben Blood

    Goalie- Eidsness

    You are right, I saw the trophy presentation at a viewing party, was it last year when they switched to ESPNU or ESPN News for trophy presentation, I believe it was last year when they called Providence the Terriers

    Your 2015 NCAA Men's Hockey Champions. The Bos-urrr Providence College Terriers! That was hilarious! Just glad they didn't do something like that to us.

    If we ended up being a lower seed, we don't go to Cincy and we sure as heck wouldn't have played Michigan or Denver.

    I realize that could have been possible. I was just using them as an example. 

  5. I wasn't bashing Hakstol. I thought he was a great coach, as I said in my original post. I was just saying that Berry put those guys together to start the season, and kept them together. Hakstol would have shuffled lines around until he got it right. Which, in turn, possibly would have made us a lower seed in the tournament and could have led to us playing Michigan or Denver without the last change. Which then, could have affected the outcome being we didn't have last change to put the Heavy Line against other teams top lines.

    As mentioned, DOT and Pony Express plus Kristo-Knight-Nelson in 2012, and Caggulia-MacMillian-Parks last year before Mac got hurt at the end of the year. I would have to disagree with your assessment totally.

    Everyone has their opinion. I expressed mine. Isn't that what this site is for?

    hmmmm...I seem to remember the Pony Express, DOT...those examples seem like he loaded the top line.  

    Alright. You got me on the DOT. But I'm pretty sure the Pony Express was already together prior to that season, and when Frattin came back, he was a stud. I think he would have had a great season whoever he played with. But Hak was here many seasons and only figured out two great lines?

    ... and after a period of time without many game breakers because of various guys not coming in, Hakstol did more than his due diligence to make sure they landed Boeser, going the extra mile / miles to make sure he ended up in a UND uniform.  Last year Schmaltz was only a shell of what he was this year.  Add Caggiula to that line and all of a sudden you have the magical line, with the magical season, with the magical culmination.  Don't think they win the Championship this year without that line finding that magical chemistry.  

    I would have to agree with you on finding that magical chemistry. I am a big supporter of Hak, he is a great coach. But after watching him set up his team lines for so many years, I don't think the CBS line would have even existed. Hak liked to have a balance through his lines. Sure he might have played them together for a few games early in the season, but he would have had those three split up. Maybe had two on one line, maybe he would have finally gotten them together around January and made a run to the playoffs. But even then, he probably wouldn't have had last change, and that might have affected the outcome of the game against Michigan or Denver. This is all speculation, and might be over thinking the situation, but that's just my thoughts. 

  9. Maybe we could use a thread on good chants, sayings or t-shirt ideas.   For example, maybe a popular t-shirt for the masses that travel to out of town games, or to just describe our fan base might be a "Flawk of F'hawks".   Or "Flawk of Fawks".  :-)

    or F'hawk Kelley!
