Took forever to fall asleep and when I did, kept thinking about that goal and the what if’s. Stinging loss but so incredibly proud of the players and coaching staff for battling back and how hard they played. Proud to call myself a North Dakota fan. Expand Same. Just feel for the guys. A crap year (outside of hockey) and they came back with a goal. Did well all season and looked poised to be able to make a DEEP run, but of course ran into the buzz saw that is Duluth. I didn’t like that draw when they announced the bracket and last night was why. 1 Quote
nodakvindy Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Let's put the blame squarely where it belongs, Michigan. Seriously, tough loss but so are all of them that end promising seasons. Just glad to always be in the mix. Easy to take that for granted. Quote

Benny Baker Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Truly incredible effort by both teams last night. After going toe-to-toe for 2.5 games, anyone could have won it. Heartbreaking watching UND lose twice last night. Terrible feeling knowing that a 48-11-5 record the last two seasons produced one NCAA playoff win against college hockey titans, the American International Bumblebees. Sandy 12-1 in last 13 NCAA playoff games. One Massachusetts team between him and Duluth's shot at a fourth straight title game. Had really anticipated the Fargo, North Dakota Regionals in 2015 (UND), 2017 (Duluth), 2019 (Denver), and 2021 (Duluth) to be a bigger boon for UND's frozen four chances. Every player has eligibility next year, right? Unfinished business?? 1 Quote

Small sample size but I don’t know how much tolerance there will be if there’s any more down seasons like 17-18 and 18-19. Hakstol never won the big one but he brought sustained success for the program. Fans got use to making the tournament every year. Berry isn’t at Hakstol level of choking yet but man it’d sure be nice to have same level of NCAA tournament success that Duluth has under Sandelin. Expand Good assessment. However Hakstol's teams were notoriously slow starters and took half a season or more to get going. They had the luxury of doing that because the parity that exists today was just starting to emerge then. With the parity that exists today some of those teams probably don't make the tournament in today's environment. Quote

MDtoGF Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Some perspective on the thriller of a game that ended about 12 hours ago.
