We all love Deano for the kind of guy he is and what he did for North Dakota (Minot included), but what has happened with him in Omaha over the years and with Sandy in Daloot show just how silly the "bring Dean back" or "get Sandy" cries were. Both good coaches their programs are fortunate to have, but not magic wands. 5 Quote

I mean, nevermind the 8 out of 15 seasons with a .500 or worse record, 8 seasons with 16 wins or less (and cruising for a 9th by the looks of it), and a winning percentage of .503, he won a natty once and that's all that matters. 5 Quote

If CC wins tomorrow, they will be tied for 6th in the NCHC and possibly only 3 points back of having a home game in the first round of the conference tournament. Omaha could come out of the weekend tied for last in the NCHC. Hopefully not because that would mean we lost to WMU but still pretty crazy. And yet Omaha is still sitting pretty in the Pairwise (11th), while CC doesn't have a chance without winning the conference autobid. Quote
Cratter Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I'm sure Sandy would love to coach at UND. Quote
ringneck28 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Looks like the usual pedestrian crowd at the X for the N. Star cup. Don't know if I cheer for SCSU or Mankato. Just filling time till senior bowl. Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Electric atmosphere for the 1:00 pm game at the North Star College Cup! It's Minnesota's Beanpot! Quote

I imagine that could well be the same argument Eaves would put forth. Well put, MafiaMan. Gee, just can't help but wonder why the Flyers picked up Haks and not Sandy, Dean. Eaves,... I mean the guy couldn't win a nattie to save himself. : -) Quote
cberkas Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 That was a weak penalty on Mankato. 3-2 St. Cloud Quote
UND-RedSox fan Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 St. Cloud is making one too many passes too much. Need to take the shots they get. Quote
farce poobah Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Another game that Mankato outshoots opponent but loses. They are really close to being a good team. St Cloud, on the other hand, is good. Really good. Quote
tnt Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 St. Cloud's power play is so good. At first thought, I figure that will get them a long way in the tourney, but I think if they face a disciplined team, or if they don't click in the post season like they do now, they could be ripe for the upset. Guess that can be said of any team, but St. Cloud seems to rely heavily on a potent PP. On the other end of the spectrum, their PK is not so good. UND seems to be scoring o.k. without the PP, so if they start to connect at the right time it could help our chances. Will be interesting to see how those things play out in the postseason. Quote

Hakstol is a good coach, and he has a lot of credibility in hockey circles. But it is hard to defend seven consecutive losses in the Frozen Four. Duluth and Omaha do not have the tradition, fan base, arena, or the resources that UND has to pull in top-echelon players. There would have been something seriously wrong if either of those schools had a better overall record than UND during the Hakstol years. 2 Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Wow I haven't watched gophers yet this year, they are gliding around like a Sunday afternoon skate on the outdoor rink. Yuck, they have fallen. Quote
cberkas Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 These B1G refs are garbage, can't call penalties or just refuse to call them on Minnesota. At least 4 missed calls on Minnesota so far. 2 Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Bemidji seems like the more skilled team. Quote

cberkas Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 Sounds like Arizona State and the Coyotes will share an arena in Tempe. http://www.abc15.com/sports/sports-blogs-local/report-arizona-coyotes-arizona-state-sun-devils-likely-to-create-joint-arena-in-tempe http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/14679905/arizona-coyotes-expect-arena-plans-finalized-end-season Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Just now, Goon said: They're giving the Gophers fits, they're limiting time and space. Right, and the Beavs aren't a great team. Methinks they would finish in top 3 in little6 though. Quote
