John W. Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 If you can look objectively at this championship. What was different. The coach. Was it the system, or the ability to motivate? I'm not sure, but in the latter years of Coach Hakstol, it seemed to be more about him.....than the team. Berry seems to deflect attention and credit to players. For you SIOUX FOREVER fans. I remember sweatshirts and yard signs stating REDSKINS. FOREVER when GF Central changed names. Talked to a '30 something ' college grad who did not even know Central was the Redskins....in a few years Sioux will be remembered in UND history, just like Flickertails....time and society moves on!!!!!! Mark it down. 2 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark it down. What was different? 11 freshmen, including Brock Boeser one of the top players in college hockey, along with several other freshman that played large roles. A goalie group with about 43 minutes of total college experience when the season started. A head coach with no experience as a head coach. An assistant coach from outside the UND hockey "family". A lot of things were "different" this year. It wasn't just a different coach. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said "the people talking bad about Hak, saying his departure is why they won, are people that maybe watch 2-3 games a year" I laughed...and agree! The three guys I talked to at work said that today, I see them multiple times a week all season long and they NEVER talk hockey! They did today though...ha-ha.

Goon Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 13 hours ago, bigskyvikes said: Yes, why do you say that? Because I was one his show defending coach Hakstol 3-4 years ago. I am pretty sure it was after a loss against Yale. For the last 15 years, each year seemed to end like last. I was almost like he had gotten his talking points from Sioux Sports and Twitter. He was advocating firing if his team didn't win an NCAA title in the next 3-5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvHockey Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Dave B: Your article shows amazing data. I have followed Sioux since 1976- some weak years then, but still had Taylor-Smail-Patrick-Iwabuci et al. Now with tickets since new Ralph- finally got to see games again and since 2001. Lots of them. But you really stated what I have felt: we may not win a "natty" every year, but we see amazing players and teams every year. No program has shown that overall consistency. Thanks to the players for each year we have been privileged to watch. And double thanks to this years crew! Hope you all come back for another go.

He seemed like he was defending Hak in what I heard. His one quote was "Berry came into the kitchen with the cupboards already filled". Not taking anything away from Berry, but also was not saying #8 was won just because of Berry. Seemed like he was taking shots at the people that were blaming Hak. I missed some of it though...

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 My 1st Post: Been a Diehard SIOUX fan since my freshman year (1970) at this flagship institution of ND. A season ticket holder and watched hockey games at all 3 of the schools arenas. I communicate a lot with Alumni my age; and reading posts from all you over the last few years has really been a treat. Thank You all, so very much. This has made my hockey experience that much better. There is so much to be proud of. Thank You: Coaches, Players, support staff, and past Coaches. Let's enjoy this one! The Natty is getting harder and harder to bring home because of such great competition. We all know we'll have a good team next year, but so will many other teams. Now, looking back at the last four games, one feels really good. But what would of happened (with a 2-2 score in the Denver game with about 6 minutes left when refs were deliberating a 2 or 5 minute penalty on UND) if the refs would have called a 5 minute penalty? Some say refs were not good to us. Well the refs got the most important call of the tournament right. ENJOY Family!!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graduated in 74' from Mayville State, but got to be a huge Sioux fan while teaching at Warroad, MN. I held my breath when the refs were debating the 2 vs.5...whew.

Big A HG Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 UND was gassed at that point. With Luke out and a lot of guys double-shifting, it wore on them. That break they got while the refs reviewed that hit was the best thing at that point. After that, they had their legs back a bit and finished the game strong.

We then skated off the two minutes and with just under 1 minute left, HISTORY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
