I think Hak was a very good coach, but just couldn't win the BIG one. Not sure why, but the record speaks for itself. Hak is 50 yrs old. You are talking like he is done coaching....

It’s by far and away the toughest junior A league in NA. Obviously there are high end players in the BC and other Canadian leagues too. But from a depth perspective, it’s the ushl and nothing is really that close. What happened to the SSM pipeline? Are the players there not good enough? I do like to see local players on the roster but when some of them are not that great, what's the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am far from educated on the players or program there, but if I recall there was a coaching change that preceded the shriveling of the pipeline. For clarity I am only speaking about the pipeline to UND, not to college programs, of that I know less than Rudy and tight end dynamics.

InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hak would have lost to Michigan in the regionals and this thread would be title 'Sandelin Vs Hak'. People want change until change happens, then they want they used to have. Then these guys tend to show up on these threads... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCHO Division I Men's Poll - December 3, 2018 Still early, like you mention. I don't see Miami, W Mich, Omaha, & CC on the bubble in today's poll. Duluth went down 2 spots and we went up 1 spot from last week. This split on the road was a W. Road wins have more horsepower than home wins. 1 Massachusetts (26) 12-1-0 2 St. Cloud State (22) 11-1-2 3 Minnesota State (1) 12-2-0 4 Minnesota Duluth (1) 10-3-1 5 Notre Dame 10-4-1 6 Denver 7-3-2 7 Ohio State 9-4-3 8 Quinnipiac 13-2-0 9 Penn State 10-4-1 10 Providence 8-4-3 11 Union 8-3-2 12 Bowling Green 10-3-2 13 Northeastern 9-3-1 14 North Dakota 8-6-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxTupa Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Reading this and the game thread reminded me of a stretch in, I believe, 2009 or 2010 when UND was swept at home by Michigan Tech and finished the first half at or below .500. Hak was pretty famous for lackluster first half teams. Yet there were people asking when the last time was that UND was blown out or swept during Hak's tenure. They did tend to figure things out in the second half though. Hopefully this UND team can rally around Saturday night and finish the half strong.

Doesn't really matter at this point. I'm more concerned with that picture in March. We got off to way slower starts under Hak, and were just fine. Not saying I expect a late season run of Hak fashion. I expect a split in Denver and then a solid start to 2019, with getting some guys back. The only game I saw where we were truly terrible was the 2nd W Michigan game. We played well on Friday, just ended up on the wrong side of the score, but were the far better team. Saturday was a mess. Friday against Duluth was bad, yes; but they are a very talented team. And the whole game was not such the breakdown, as was the second period. The team needs to learn to play a full three periods. 8-6-1 is not bad, but leaves room for improvement. 2 wins over top 4 teams, tells me this team has what it needs, but needs to find consistency. A split should be the hope on the road against a good Denver team, but if you can somehow steal a sweep, a lot of people will be singing a different tune. Don't get me wrong, I'm not fully sold on Berry yet, and we will see how he gets his team to respond in the 2nd half of the season, but I'm not quitting on this team at the beginning of December with a winning record.

burd Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Records don't tell everything, but in Sandy's 18 full years at UMD, he has won 15 or fewer games seven times, less than 20 nine times, and has never won 30 or more. Beginning his fourth year, when the team was all his, he won 15, 11, 13, and 13 the next four years. His career at UMD has a LOT of mediocrity In Berry's three full years, he has won 17, 21, and 34. Not saying Berry is better than or as good as Sandy, but to be calling for his head in only his 4th year with those results is premature, to say the least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
