Hak and Co. were picked to win the WCHA. I have heard many coaches say that is the hardest thing to do...go win it when your picked to. They hit a few bumps in the road but were pretty consistent all year. If they lost they followed it up with a strong game and a win. If the playoffs in college hockey were all 3 game series the Sioux would have been national champions this year. northdasotanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572254720762157836.post-2096271932587378282011-04-16T12:44:25.332-05:002011-04-16T12:44:25.332-05:00oleoleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572254720762157836.post-88670530622099534892011-04-15T10:06:16.512-05:002011-04-15T10:06:16.512-05:00I was there, too.

The only period that was close to being even was the first in which UND had 7 shots on goal from the prime scoring area to 3 for Michigan. Plus, three of Michgan's 10 shots on goal for the period were from outside the blue line. <br /><br />The Wolverines had nothing going for them in the second period. In the third period, Michigan got more scroing chances because UND was taking more chances. The shot chart from the third period shows UND with numerous chances from the prime scoring area and just outside the crease. <br /><br />Throughout the game, the Sioux had their top players in great position to score. The difference in the game was Shawn Hunwick.Patrick C.

Do I want a national championship? Hell yes! But if you don't get in the NCAA tournament, you can't even think about the possibility. Just getting to that point at the end of the season is a huge challenge. It's only a mattter of time before the Sioux break through, and it will probably happen in a year when it's not expected.Patrick C.

Hunwick is the reason Michigan won that game. People are talking about Hak not having the team prepared or getting out coached. I think that is insane to think that. Hak and Co. did a great job all season and I think did a great job preparing the team for the F4. They only took one penalty and your stats pretty much prove the rest. How do you prepare your team for the best goaltending performance of the playoffs? The only reason why this loss stings is because the Sioux are/were the best team in college hockey...Period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
