MafiaMan Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 UND's last title was before the implementation of the 16 team, 4 region tournament. The 4 region tournament practically guarantees a region within close proximity of Boston College. Just sayin'...
MafiaMan Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 What do you put on Dave's?? He usually likes maple syrup, but he decided on Sunday that he wanted strawberry syrup, so I had to run back to the store and get some.

Not a geography major but the Frozen Four that was in Denver wasn't real close to the Atlantic ocean. Just sayin'...
willythekid Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I call Bull**** - most don't want him fired, they just want him to loosen up the "system" and win one finally This. I don't want to have the guy run off yet but his unwillingness or (worse yet) inability to change up his coaching style when things are going south is tough to swallow.
willythekid Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Not a geography major but the Frozen Four that was in Denver wasn't real close to the Atlantic ocean. Just sayin'... I believe he is talking about regionals...
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 This whole thread has gone in circles many, many times in its 97 pages. ' Was just going to say that, chasing our tails here. It feels like the movie 'Groundhog Day'.
Oxbow6 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I believe he is talking about regionals... I believe he is talking about UND not being able to beat BC.

Just sayin'... whoa now, some might throw you under the bus for even implying it could be a little harder now than the last time UND won a title.
siouxweet Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Not a geography major but the Frozen Four that was in Denver wasn't real close to the Atlantic ocean. Just sayin'... but to get to denver they beat miaimi in worcester(sp) to get there. and in the only time I can recall in the last 10 plus years they have had to travel west for a regional they got smoked by CCin St. Louis in 2011. just sayin...
MafiaMan Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Not a geography major but the Frozen Four that was in Denver wasn't real close to the Atlantic ocean. Just sayin'... You see, Oxbow, first they divide the 16 teams into 4 sections of 4 teams each, which they call "regionals." From there, each region whittles down to one team, which is called the regional champion. The regional champion is sent to what we call "the Frozen Four"...from there, the national semi-finals...

So 16 divided by 4 is 4. Got it.... Misread your initial post...you are correct that a "regional" is almost certainly close to BC...which is still a team UND can't beat when it counts.

Oxbow6 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 as dumb as may sound, maybe this is the team that can do it. stranger things have happened. Possibly...have to get into the NCAA tournament first...which they are making strides to do with their recent play.
siouxweet Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Possibly...have to get into the NCAA tournament first...which they are making strides to do with their recent play. go 4-2 over the next three weeks, win first round series, win at least one at target center and they should get in.
MafiaMan Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 So 16 divided by 4 is 4. Got it.... You forgot to carry the 1, but still arrived at the correct answer of 4 teams in each region.
willythekid Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 as dumb as may sound, maybe this is the team that can do it. stranger things have happened. Anything can happen if you can make it to the dance. I would think that in order for this team to have any shot they would need incredibly good coaching and tremendous effort on the ice for sixty a game... the effort hasn't always been there and the verdict on the coaching is still out for me. None of this will matter though if they don't play well the next couple of weeks.
Oxbow6 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 You forgot to carry the 1, but still arrived at the correct answer of 4 teams in each region. When I was in 3th grade there was a chubby, freckled faced, red headed kid named Donald that used to say "I'm not so good at maff"...me neither.

None of this will matter though if they don't play well the next couple of weeks. Out of many Sioux teams in the past years, I think if this team has any strength it's the effort they put out. At least from what I've noticed, they seem to always lay it out there as far as back-checking, and diving to get pucks out of the zone on the PK. The series that comes to mind is in Omaha when Simpson was puking on the bench and most of the team played Saturday night sick.

And at the other end of the spectrum there is friday night against SLU... this is not one of the hardest working UND teams in my opinion.

Are you saying that those years that BC handed us our asses in the Frozen Four is because they didn't have to travel as far for their regionals? I call BS on this. BC may have had an easier time getting to the FF, but once there they kicked our butts. I recall a regional here in the Ralph where we flamed out at the FF.
Siouxperfan7 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Ever think that the reason we lost to BC in the Frozen Four those years is becuase the team played better than us that day? And maybe it wasn't the coaching but maybe...just maybe the game was decided out on the ice by the players either executing or failing to execute!!!

The 4 region tournament practically guarantees a region within close proximity of Boston College. Just sayin'... So our lack of success is due to the 16 team regional? BS again. It didn't seem to be too hard for Minnesota twice, Denver twice, Wisconsin, Minnesota Duluth, or BC. Roughly the same amount of teams and one wins the championship. Tired of excuses as to why we didn't get it done. I'm not blaming the tourney format when we had Oshie, Toews, and Ducnan and still couldn't win. I might add that the 16 team tournament could be our friend this year.
