808287 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I expect Ferris to bring their "A" game. We will need everything from four lines AND a great game from Zane to get a ticket to Philly. A lot of WCHA teams lost a a lot of games to Ferris State this year, and they deserve the respect that comes with holding the MacNaughton. That said, if we play tomorrow like we did tonight, I really like our odds at wearing new hats by the end of the night. I just might have to make a trip to the Spectrum. GO SIOUX!!! Quote
sagard Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Actually, it's the Big Ten PLAYOFF champs...the Big Ten champs will be done tomorrow. Here I am rabidly cheering for the Sioux and your already hating on the Gophs? They only have to stop one guy right? Who to cheer for SCSU or ND? Pretty sure we can all plug our noses and say Go DU right? 2 Quote
keikla Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Lowlight of the evening: one of the bartenders asked if I had a nephew or son on the team. I'm 29. Yes, I got pregnant at 10, had a kid at 11, and he is now a freshman in college... Highlight of the evening: the Sioux live to see another day!!!!!! 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Ferris is about to get massacred. I would not overlook this team - Ferris is solid and Motte is an outstanding goalie. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Was able to catch last period. Solid effort all around in 3rd. FYI...Rocco's 1st multi goal game in college. Didn't know that. Quote
Blackheart Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Here I am rabidly cheering for the Sioux and your already hating on the Gophs? They only have to stop one guy right? Who to cheer for SCSU or ND? Pretty sure we can all plug our noses and say Go DU right? Go DU! (for one game only) 1 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Game tomorrow will be at 330 pm AZ time. Will follow on here so thanks to all for the "play by play" in advance. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Need the same effort tomorrow to make this happen! Plus we still owe Ferris Wheel State for our last meeting in the NCAA's. That was Parise's freshman year... Chris effing Kunitz... Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Chris effing Kunitz... Win. Elation. Then I read this... Quote
Old Time Hockey Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 8th Regional Final in Hak's 10 years as HC at UND. Name me another coach who has ever had a 10 year span of success like that. .765 winning percentage in Regional Play. Are you kidding me? Mods, can we please shut down any "fire Hak " thread for awhile!! I guess this is how we measure success now. Quote
Blackheart Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Win. Elation. Then I read this... Redemption. Tomorrow. Go Fighting Sioux! Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Redemption. Tomorrow. Go Fighting Sioux! Exactly. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I guess this is how we measure success now. My point is besides Jerry York, who are you gonna bring in here to replace a Hak that has even close to that kind of coaxing success. He puts our team in a place to succeed. Now the players have to step it up Quote

Palum Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Um...that makes no sense. The poster called WI the Big Ten champions, which was not correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Big_Ten_Men's_Ice_Hockey_Tournament#.282.29_Wisconsin_vs._.284.29_Ohio_State So did Wisconsin not win the Big Ten tournament championship? Um... What am I missing? Quote
bigskyvikes Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 That doesn't matter...if UND loses tomorrow, a "fire Hak" thread will be started quicker than you can say "gfhockey." Also Old Time Hockey and SPCA or whatever can defend his crap and they all can tells us how they said I told you so! These records aren't success, only one game proves success! What a joke! Way to go Sioux! Quote

The Big Ten tournament champions of 2014 are the Wisconsin Badgers. Quote

He than said the tournament champs are done, big difference there. Quote
burd Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 How long before some highlights will be up? Somewhere Quote
Palum Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-hockey/spec-rel/031414aaa.html Okay, that legitimate technicality makes sense. And thus my original point : do we determine a champion by regular season performance or by winning the tournament? Apples and oranges I guess. But when it comes to the national stage, we don't crown a regular season winner. So let's win this tournament! Quote

Take a look around REA...there are banners for each MacNaughton Cup team...there is ONE banner for all of the Broadmoor Trophy teams. I agree...one down today, one to go tomorrow. Then two more in Philadelphia. Quote
Palum Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Interesting. So why is the conference one and done (first round oddly different excepted) of so much less value? Quick edit: nchc not one and done as we got 3rd place, but you get my idea... Quote

What he was getting at was the national championship is determined in a 16 team tournament, not by which team had the best winning percentage during the regular season. And that is what most people remember. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Interesting. So why is the conference one and done (first round oddly different excepted) of so much less value? I suppose because the regular season is more of a showing of season-long excellence while the tournament (excluding the first-round) is a one-weekend event. That being said, if it were up to me, UND would be hoisting individual banners for playoff titles too. 3 Quote

So would I; the Final Five was a very difficult tournament to win and I think the Frozen Faceoff will become the same way over time. 1 Quote
