GeauxSioux Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Right Man For The Job Amazingly, that script played out exactly as Fabian hypothesized. However, he credited a seemingly-irate Hakstol for that calm. Hakstol spent five minutes prior to leaving the bench after the period ended in a heated discussion with referee Jon Campion over a penalty Campion called on Rylan Kaip, which was a shaky call at best. However, as angry as Hakstol looked, he was calm with his team." Coach walked in, looked at the team, and said, "'We're okay here guys; we're only down a goal,' said Fabian. "Literally, that was about it. He put the game in our hands." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 However, he has led North Dakota to the Frozen Four (and one title-game appearance) in the past two seasons, both years where the Fighting Sioux were not clear favorites to be there. I don't quite agree with this. Last season, UND was definitely not a clear favorite to make it to the Frozen Four. But before the 2004-2005 season, UND was ranked fifth in the USCHO national poll and picked to finish second in the WCHA by the league's coaches. Perhaps that didn't make the Sioux a "clear favorite" to go to the Frozen Four, but they were certainly expected to be one of the top teams in the nation.
