I swear, certain posters have to be Gopher fans here messing with us. They can't possibly be as dense as they seem.

i guess im still a little puzzled about them hiring him still...if hak couldn't figure out a way to win four games how the hell do you think he is gonna figure out a way to win 16??? and on top of that he aint going against michigan tech, st lawrence, niagra, or penn state anymore!!
Haha haha haha haha haha haha! You can't be seriously comparing this? Well played sir, well played. Troll level: Expert.

You should learn what point he was trying to make with that quote! You could have saved yourself from looking like an idiot!
Some people's hate for Hakstol clouds any sort of judgment they may have ever had. Case in point, siouxfan97.

Truth be told, I've always followed the Flyers pretty closely as a "2nd favorite" team, so I'm excited to see how they do with Hak at the helm. I don't know how I'd feel if he'd gone to the Avalanche. It would have been fun to watch some Gopher/Wild fans heads explode though had Yeo been fired and DH been the new guy in St Paul.
I'd have been in heaven with Hakstol as the Avs coach, guess I'll keep Roy.

Auston Mathews coming in the fall.
I can dream, right?

Am I the only one that thinks Simonson should get some more playing time? He was one of the more reliable faceoff guys it seemed. Weird, do we have an excess of talent across the board for next year?

Is it just me, or does this entire site need a snickers bar?
This made me smile.

Zane I hope u get rich & do well at the next level & bring the cup back here someday
I wish Zane well, but I don't want to see him bringing the Cup to UND if it's in a Bruins uniform.

I'm actually a bit surprised. I thought he would be back, considering his grandmother's ties to UND, the way he played his last game, and how volatile the Bruins front office is at the moment. I'm always a little surprised when these guys leave early, after nearly every player that's left early tells them they should stay, and if they themselves had it to do over again they'd stay.

25-4-4 .927 GAA. He must have done something right at BU, no?
Maybe I missed something, but I thought the original poster was just referencing that particular goal, and not the entire body of work. Hence the emojis.
-
Evers isn't coming in this year because JSchmaltz wants to play another year with his brother.
Gardner isn't coming in this year because Matthews spoke to the coaches and is UND-bound.
Wouldn't that cause everyone's collective head o explode if it were true.
-
Part B, no question.
-
Matthews decision might be in the next two weeks.
Not sure if I'm nervous or exited that Eichel was in his ear. If Eichel stays, I could see him going to Boston. If Eichel goes, and Mathews decides the college route, I have my fingers crossed.
-
Probably next week.

Heard the Blackhawks are pushing hard for Luke Johnson to leave early.
With all the forward talent on that team, I find this hard to believe. You'd think they'd be pushing Schmaltz to leave before Johnson.

Tate was so awesome. I remember a blowout playoff game when I got stranded in GF cuz Hwy 2 got closed. I think it was Frattin and Gregoire with hat tricks, so hats were 33% off in the Sioux shop. I went in to check them out and Tate was in there with Bruno. He was trying on hats while telling Bruno that it was embarrassing to be in there with everyone staring at him cuz he was such a big deal.
I was at this game also. The weather was crazy. My mother in law was picking us up, and my wife and I were huddled next to the statue outside, was seriously wondering if we were going to freeze to death.

How could anyone forget the final home game of the year on March 17th, 2012 with the long, overdue, and much anticipated debut of Tate Maris!! Statistically the best goalie to ever play for UND.
This. I wasn't there, I was watching the game on TV, but you could tell how loud that building was with that first save. You could hear the roar over the announcers.

Taking the original logo off of a game worn jersey and putting on a logo that was never worn with that jersey or that style. That's what makes me cringe.
I thought something looked off with that White jersey. That's supposed to be a Geo logo, correct?
-
The article said that Eichel won the Hobey Baker in a landslide. I hadn't seen or heard anything that reflected that. Very possible that its true, just curious where the information came from.
Gotcha.
-
Where did you see the final vote tally for the Hobey Baker award? I haven't seen it released anywhere.
I think what you're referring to was the segment regarding the scoring title, not the Hobey vote.

This is very interesting! To me, it suggests that it was more difficult to make the NCAA tournament back then, at least mathematically. If we consider the early years of Gino's tenure, only 5 to 8 teams out of 40 made the NCAA tournament. That's between 12.5-20% of teams that made the NCAA tournament. Today, 16 out of 59 teams make the NCAA tournament, or 27% of teams. The fact that it's much easier to make the NCAA tournament today should, in my opinion, be weighed against the fact that there is a bigger field to defeat today than back in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
But in my opinion, I think it's easier for a team to the win an NCAA championship under today's format than it was in the early 1980s. For examples, see Yale and Providence.
Weird. Because I take the Yale and Providence examples as to why it's more difficult for the normal strongholds to win it. Different perspectives I guess.

Yup, the 2004-05 team, 25-15-5, was the team he lead to the national championship game. I wasn't attempting to diminish the accomplishments of Hakstol's teams, but rather point out that the limited opportunities to make the NCAA tournament back in the day meant that some fairly solid teams were shut out from the opportunity altogether. Like the 1983 Sioux team.
Thanks. I didn't know.
The more I think about this the sillier it becomes too me. Granted, there have been some teams that we felt should have performed better when they got to the final rounds, but there are also teams that maybe shouldn't have been there either. As much hope as I had for this years team based on senior leadership, I look at the offensive production of the forwards, and I really kind of question it. Nothing against any of them at all, but I can't really point to a guy and say, he should have more goals, or he's going to be a stud.
I guess there is so much more that goes into this than a record in the frozen four. How many teams over performed according to their talent level, how many under. I look at the pony express and what they are doing now, and I guess I thought Frattin would be a bigger star in the NHL. Sorry, kind of just babbling at this point, because I really have no real point, besides there are so many unknowns that we as fans take for granted, or things we think we know as facts about teams that are completely untrue.

Out of curiosity, did either of those three teams of Hakstol's make the Frozen Four?

Weird, majority of the people I talk to think that the fire Hak crowd were/are imbeciles.
