Cratter Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Hak, Muss, Kelley are all gone. Have to focus somewhere now. Jones and Idalski. Quote

northhockey Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I have a feeling all of these people are spoiled mens hockey fans. National championships are always the goal but you cant base someones contract on that. I think we forgot that one of the reasons the Lams did come to UND (besides being hometown) was the coach. There are so many variables that decide the outcome of games and seasons. I don't know who you wold replace Idalski with that will get you a national championship but once you know you could share with us! In other news, UND advances to SIXTH straight wcha final four. Bemidji got swept in the first round, and their season is over. GO UND 1 1 Quote

Cratter Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Just now, northhockey said: they committed to minny before idalski was hired. and idalski was a reason they came back. they heard good things. (this is a fact btw) im still waiting to hear what coach that is currently available will do better in the wcha than idalski... Hence the reason I said the "UND womens hockey coach situation." Idalski is not the reason the twins came back I know that for a certainty. Fact: Scanlan is a better coach than Idalski. Quote

northhockey Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Oh ok. I mustve never talked to Idalski or the Lams. There is no point in arguing this as the AD wont let Idalski go anytime soon.

northhockey Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Yes. It is six straight wcha final fours. That wasnt said to brag.I was reminding the scanlan lovers of reality. UND has another game on their schedule, Scanlan does not. But yeah fire Idalski. Quote

Bemidji got swept in the first round, and their season is over. GO UND Based on this little pearl of wisdom, every coach should have an iron clad lifetime contract to coach as long as they want. But this isn't high school, this is Division I collegiate athletics and it's women's ice hockey. And at the University of North Dakota, that means the expectations will be high. This is one of three sports (MH and FB being the other two) that we have a realistic shot at winning national titles in. And I think the overall body of work suggests that Idalski has plateaued. A third to fourth place finish in the regular season, followed by a first round home playoff series and a trip to the Final Faceoff where we will get shut out by either Wisconsin or Minnesota. Rinse. Repeat. If you are happy with that every single year, then that is fine. But some of us want women's hockey to achieve greatness and Idalski doesn't look like the man to do it. Brewster raised the bar for WBB a couple of years ago, Bubba is raising the bar for FB right now and now it is time to raise the bar for Women's Hockey. If Title IX requires us to keep this program and fund it, then we might as well strive to be the best in the nation at it. 1 Quote
