Siouxmusic Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 And Bjornson got ten years Then what? Simple question You might want to actually compare Bjorkman's W-L record with Hak's if you think you've got a valid point to make here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfhockey Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 How many years Bjorkman have ? Who remembers win loss record I remember nattys bud How many years Hak have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Sheesh, don't jump off the bridge yet. History lesson for you: Hockey's version of "Sioux Falls" happened on December 12, 1986.UND vs US International, with Brad Beutow as coach. Ugly game; I remember even Hrkac took a rare frustration penalty in that one. Season ended pretty good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I was on Hak last year so it isn't a one game thing for me. No I dont think a title is easy, but I expect one every 10 years. Am I really out of line? Something called Union won it last year. Though thank God it was them and not the Goofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberkas Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 How many years Bjorkman have ? Who remembers win loss record I remember nattys bud How many years Hak have Bjorkman coached for 10 years, Hakstol is starting his 11th season. Hakstol has yet to have a season under .600. Bob May coached only 2 years played for a national title twice, won the national title his second year. May's winning percentage was .766 and .661 the year he won a national title. Barry Thorndycraft coached 5 years had 2 loosing seasons and one 2 games over .500. Thorndycraft won a national title with a .734 winning percentage. Gino Gasparini coached 16 years had 3 loosing seasons and had 9 seasons under .600. Gasparini's winning percentage when he won his national titles .787 in 1979-80, .745 in 1981-82, and .833 in 1986-87. Dean Blais coached 10 years had 1 loosing season and had 3 seasons under .600. Blais' winning percentage for his 2 national titles .744 in 1996-97, and .728 in 1999-00. So who should be the coach, your holiness? I was on Hak last year so it isn't a one game thing for me. No I dont think a title is easy, but I expect one every 10 years. Am I really out of line? Something called Union won it last year. Though thank God it was them and not the Goofs. It took 17 years between national title 2 and national title 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union winning last season is the exact reason why this fire Hak stuff is nonsense. 15 years ago, teams like Yale and Union barely sniff the tournament. Parity is high and when every team has talent, it makes it that much harder to go all the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parity is high and when every team has talent, it makes it that much harder to go all the way. Then please explain how Boston College can win 4 titles in the last 14 years, while we have ZERO in the same period? And both Minnesota and Denver went back-to-back in 2002-03 and 2004-05 respectively. If it is next to impossible to hang an NCAA banner anymore, those things should never have happened. Hakstol is becoming our version of Doug Woog: Lots of regular season success, a boatload of Frozen Four appearances and ZERO NCAA titles to show for it. Our fan base used to mock and ridicule other programs (St. Cloud for example) for hanging participation banners instead of title banners. Now we are almost embracing it as proof of a successful program. I simply do not agree with that line of thinking. Flame away (I am used to it). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I know one sioux alum who is chomping at the bit to come back here And he has a natty to his resume with less resources Sandelin has been head coach at UMD for 14 years...this is his 15th. Of the 14 seasons, UMD has been .500 or below for 8 of those seasons. You really think the rabid UND faithful would be happy with every other season being a losing one? If you're getting a new head coach, at least replace him with someone with a decent track record of putting winning teams on the ice consistently.

Ugly game; I remember even Hrkac took a rare frustration penalty in that one. Season ended pretty good though. Does the bolded part ring a bell? That is what I was responding to.

fightingsioux4life Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Just curious, who would you replace him with? No smack, genuinely interested in your answer. Blais is not a valid response. I think Blais will retire when his current contract with Omaha is finished. He has said he wants to spend more time with the grandchildren and it's hard to do that as the CEO of a D-I hockey program.

In no way am I comparing them to the current team...that 86-87 team was a lot of fun to watch; full throttle all the time. We didn't know how good we had it!
