neoflex Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 After the du game all I hear hak say numerous times is "we need to get back to work"...which is opposite of fun. Which many have pointed out numerous times over the last decade. I don't recall ever losing a game and saying "wow, that was fun!". I have to think positively going into this weekend and that the boys will be ready physically and mentally. Hak will hopefully help the boys rise to the occasion, but he shouldn't need much help motivating them in front of a home sellout crowd for the first round of the playoffs. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Anything in particular of interest you remember him saying during the interview? I used to listen to KFAN every day at my old job but have had to take a break with the new one. Why not listen for yourself? http://740thefan.com/upload/DaveHakstol03222015.mp3 2 Quote
Cratter Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hak will shouldn't need much help motivating them in front of a home sellout crowd for the first round of the playoffs. While it wasnt a sellout, Ive been waiting for the same thing the last two years at the NCHC tournament. Last year UND was playing for their lives both friday and saturday in front of a homecrowd but still only managed to go 1-1 at the target center. (1-3 overall with a home crowd advantage). How much puck luck does UND need this weekend to win? Quote
yelo09 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 How much puck luck does UND need this weekend to win? If you’re counting on “puck luck” at Scheels arena might as well keep the TV off and stay home, I will count on our skill level, grit and determination before banking on puck luck from ice that will only be slightly better than the outdoor Omaha game Quote
Cratter Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 NCAA hockey tournament = puck luck. Where you been the last ten years. 2 Quote

Dead Yedi Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Oddly I'm kind of glad we're not the #1 overall seed. Not sure why, psychological I guess. #2 overall and still a #1 isn't far off but I still feel a little better, again not sure why. Quote
franchise Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 The strength of having four lines also takes a backseat with all of the TV timeouts. Easier to rest your big guns when your team doesn't have as much depth 1 Quote
808287 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Heres what the Fargo paper said about this regional. "Outside of alcohol not being sold to the general public, Kram said there weren’t many things fans need to know about arguably the biggest sporting event ever to come to Fargo." I don't know, man. I saw Superstar Billy Graham vs. Wahoo McDaniels in an Indian Strap Match in Fargo as a kid. Pretty big crowd there for that one in the old civic center. 1 Quote
90siouxfan Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I have always felt that the large and passionate fan base puts a lot of pressure on the players, pressure that helps them succeed at higher levels but makes them too tight in the pinnacle of their current level. I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn Express, but I do have a sleep machine beside my bed set to Chelsea Dagger. 1 Quote

Easier to rest your big guns when your team doesn't have as much depth I don't disagree, but I think depth has importance, still. Regardless of TV timeouts, legs still get tired. Also, having the ability to roll out four lines with varying styles keeps the opponent guessing a bit. 1 Quote
UNDLeafsGuy Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I love Bucci and how hard he works and loves college hockey, but he's not good on play by play. I agree Bucci is an all East guy and his playXplay is #BRUTAL and Melrose well what more can you say about a mullet Quote

Oxbow6 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Any guesses on lines?That some here will be doing them if we lose Friday or Saturday. #justsaynotodrugs 4 Quote
ringneck28 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 How accurate has krach been on predictions. Anyone see what UND was predicted as? Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 WooooW.......apparently the Quinnipiaci are having trouble getting to Fargo.....to Quote their Head Coach.. "Fargo is a hard place to get to" I'd say they can't figure this one out...time to reconsider their accreditation. http://sportzedge.com/2015/03/23/the-biggest-challenge-for-quinnipiac-hockey-in-ncaa-tournament-may-just-be-getting-to-fargo/ Quote
TBsioux Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Any guesses on lines? Just by the amount Murphy played on Saturday,my best guess Cag-LJ-Parks Pattyn- Schmaltz-Murphy?? Gaarder line Chyz-St.Clair-Poolman Quote

First, why the h-e-double-hockey-sticks would you fly into Bismarck? There's thousands of flights into MSP which is about the same driving distance. Besides, most of the flights into Bismarck have flight crew that's UND alumni. OTOH, maybe they are just throwing a little sandbagging at us. Quote

ringneck28 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Wow, I like this coach. He is playing all the mental games. 1st saying his #1 player may not be available. Then the, how are we getting there card. I suspect they will be there in full on Wed. as planned with #1 player ready to go. Quote
gfhockey Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I kind of wish Hak played mind games with other teams Quote
