Siouxperfan7 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 what will be your feeling when you find out Minny and UND are in the same region this year? Unless both schools are #1 seeds, Can't you pretty much expect UND and Minnesota get put in the same region year after year??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxman Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Now back to the most ridiculous thread in history of message boards. I think you are selling Gopher fans a little short. Actually, I would like to see a "Hire John Hill" thread over on GPL. That would be a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Michigan's 7th title was in 1964...8th in 1996, 9th in 1998. 96 and 98 aren't that stale. They are to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Why does there have to be an "excuse"? We just got beat. Sometimes we may have been the better team. Sometimes we weren't? Either way, the other team scored more goals. Why did we not win in '98? We had the great Dean Blais, who knew how to get players to play big in big games. We had the exact same team we had in '97 when UND won the whole thing, except now the team had another year of experience, including championship game experience? And how about '99? Still the same team, but this year they were upperclassmen. You get those answers for me, then I'll give you your "excuse" as to why Hakstol hasn't won in his trips to the Frozen Four. I also guarantee you a very fine career as a consultant for college hockey coaches. Because you can't win every year.....because it is tough....like all you guys have been stating since this silly thread began. We won in '97 and '01, that's pretty good to me and our win% was pretty good when we got there during that time frame. What I was trying to say is that it is odd we didn't come away with at least one natty when we were on the door step almost every year (during hak's earlier years).

scpa0305 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I wonder how long the "Fire Red Berenson" thread is on Michigans fan forum!!! No doubt. I don't think that is the worst idea.....they aren't winning this year although I do like some of their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It would be interesting to see how many college hockey coaches have been fored in the past 9 years solely based on team performance. Also would be interesting to see how many coaches with a winning record were let go as well. This is the nature of this sport at this level. Unless you are awful as a coach or comit some other university infraction, College hockey coaches don't usually get fired and hired too often. Sotty. Just the way it is.

bigskyvikes Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm not in the "fire Hak" group, but none of what you write addresses everyone's issue with Hak's teams..... I'll get to work on ordering those participation banners. He made perfect sense, you need to order something, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxForever Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 What do Miami, BU, BC, Duluth, Denver, Wisconsin Yale, and Michigan have in common that we don't? They played in the national title game in recent times. I don't care about SJHovey posts and Goon backing it up - I realize we played Denver in '05 and that was the last time Denver won, but they won back-to-back, I will give that program some credit and leeway there. I don't care. I would rather have my team, UND that I cheer for, play in a national title game sooner than later. Conference season and post season championships are nice and Hak's overall record with the team the last 9 year is great too, but I want the team to compete and play in the national title game. At the end of the day, no one remembers their overall season record or what conference championship the team won. Fans will remember great times and experiences at the Final Five in recent years when the team won etc...., and who knows, they might win the NCHC regular season conference title this year. I don't care. Get to the title game for once and compete and if they win, great Bottom line, you compete for a National Title. Hak and his players the last 9 years would take a national title any day over Hak's overall winning record, regular and post conference tournament victories and championships/continued success. Please quit over analyzing things. Keep it simple. Win and/or compete in the national title game. Obviously we want UND to win that game. It's simple. You play for a National Title. That's what truly matters. Period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyisGr8 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 " Hak and his players the last 9 years would take a national title any day over Hak's overall winning record, regular and post conference tournament victories and championships/continued success." I tend to agree with this as it pertains to Hakstol. I'm not so sure as it pertains to players as only a small # of his players over the past 9 years would have actually experienced the title. It would be really interesting to actually know what Hakstol's take would be on this hypothetical situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know I'm proud to brag about my favorite team having more national titles than that great team BC! I love the fact that they own more WCHA titles than anyone! They had a three year straight run of winning the Broadmoor trophy. Those items may not be important to you, but I bet they are to many people that follow my favorite team besides me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
