Popular Post nodakvindy Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 NCAAs are very much cyclical. UND is the only school to win titles in 6 decades, a remarkable model of consistency. Since our first title, the longest drought we have ever had is 17 years. UND has also won its 8 titles with 5 different coaches, so the program has shown the ability to sustain under different leadership. Other big programs Michigan Most titles (9), but majority are ancient. Program was stuck on 7 for 32 years, then returned to take 2 of 3, and is now in 23 year drought. Denver Among its 8 titles are multiple repeats, the one accomplishment UND lacks. Team of the 60s with four titles, but then a 35 year drought where Program also rarely challenged in the WCHA Wisconsin Big game hunters with 6 NCAAs, but stunningly only picked up 3 McNaughton Cups. Went 16 years between titles 5 and 6 and now in identical drought. Minnesota Wins NCAAs in clusters with a a repeat and 3 in 6 under Herb Brooks on their ledger. Went 26 years before first title, a 23 year drought between 3 and 4 and now at 18 and counting. Boston U Along with their city rivals, the kings of the East. Took 24 years to win first of 5 titles. After leading the 70s with 3 wins, took 17 years to get title 4, 14 more to get title 5, and now 12 and counting. Have also made only 2 Frozen Four appearances since 1997. Boston College Won second ever NCAA tournament in 1949. Heard Ranger style chants of "1949" from opposing fans for more than a half century until finally grabbing title number 2 on an ill-fated night in Albany. Then grabbed 3 titles in 5 years from 2008 to 2012. Now nearly a decade removed from a title. Building and sustaining a program is what you want as a fan. No one really comes close to North Dakota in that regard. Another NCAA title will happen, it's when not if. But if you can't also enjoy the Penroses and Frozen Face-offs what's the point. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandelin coaching had nothing to do with that. I will never forget that one, was actually 2019. BG had them all kinds of frustrated and then they get one of the biggest gifts I've ever seen in the NCAA tournament with about 3 minutes left. After that they just rolled every one. Probably the best team that year, but to say they didn't get a gift in PA regional wouldn't be accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BC kept those gold helmets UND would have had back to back and they'd still have only one.

All in all, I would say that Berry had the far superior year with two trophies compared to Sandelin's zero. He just got out-coached tonight...UMass coach had his players let UMD control play so that they could crush their souls in OT.

When UND was in their 16 year title "drought," I had to remind myself of these very statistics. Even the most storied programs go long stretches without national titles. What made things so painful is how close we were during those 16 years without getting over the hump. But it definitely made the '16 title very very sweet. Of college hockey's "Big 7," UND's longest title drought (17 years) is the second shortest (only Wisconsin's is shorter, but we'll see for how long...)

UND had the better play through most of the OT's and almost buried it on a number of occasions A couple of posts and a puck that flopped over the goalie and landed on top of the net inches from falling in. UMD just got the lucky bounce but to say they turned it on in OT is just not living in reality. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanted to get rid of Hakstol. You criticize Berry. What do you know about coaching or what it takes to become a champion? Had UND played UMass, missing those key players, I’m pretty sure the first person calling for a coaching change would have been you. Some of the people actually believe you and something called the GOBC could influence coaching decisions anymore than any of the rest of us. Sandy is an excellent coach. His players didn’t get the job done. Berry and Hakstol have proved to be excellent coaches. They and Sandy have been recognized as outstanding coaches by their players, peers, and the NHL community. I dare say winning an NCAA championship in hockey is as difficult if not the most difficult as any sport. Stuff happens. For those whose lives are dependent on the success or failure of a sports team I can’t help that. However, our program has remained as one of the premier programs in the nation for 40 yrs. A big part of that is our outstanding coaches from Gino to Blais to Hak and now Berry. It is really that simple. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petey23 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 If UND had lost in the same manner as UMD did last night we would have people on here debating A. Is it Berry's fault for having the team take their foot off the gas after the 2nd period and try and ride the game out for the 2-1 win or B. Is it Berry's fault for not skating 4 lines all night so the team got gassed and didn't have enough in the tank in the 3rd period and overtime.
