Like I have mentioned on Twitter, Last March, I started a tongue in cheek post on Sioux Sports. The title of the thread "Time to Fire Hakstol". The thread in question has kept growing, by the day. For those that don't red Sioux Sports, SJHovey is one of the more level headed posters from Sioux Sports and he absolutely nails it... Check it out. I feel the same way, I wouldn't trade out situation at UND either.
I ask this question, in all seriousness, to those who think that the program has fallen on hard times, below our standards, or that it's time to start thinking about coaching changes.
Look back over the past 9 seasons (I'm excluding the present season primarily because we don't know how it will turn out). If you could magically substitute the performance of another college hockey program for our own, would you? Whose?
UND is 235-119-37 over that span, with no losing seasons, 2 regular season crowns, 4 conference tourney titles, appearances in all 9 NCAA tournaments, but admittedly no national titles.
So who do you wish we were, over Hak's tenure, if not our own performance?
BC? Obviously. 3 national titles, 3 regular season titles, 6 conference tourney championships, appearances in 8 of 9 NCAA tournaments and a 238-97-33 record.
But now who?
Michigan? The supposed greatest college hockey program of all time? No national titles, 3 regular season titles, 3 conference tourney titles, 8 of 9 NCAA tourney appearances (and one losing season), with a win/loss record virtually identical to ours at 237-116-25. I'm not trading. That's the same car I'm driving without the 1 missed tourney.
How about Miami? 3 regular season titles, 1 conference tourney title, 8 of 9 NCAA appearances, but no national titles and a record no better than ours at 222-107-39. No thanks.
Minnesota? No national titles. 4 regular season titles but 1 conference tourney title. Only 6 of 9 in NCAA appearances with one losing season and a considerably worse record at 210-120-39. Plus, you're Minnesota. Forget it.
How about last year's champs, Yale. They have the almighty national title. But 2 regular season titles, 2 conference titles and only 4 NCAA appearances out of 9 seasons, to go along with 3 losing seasons and a pedestrian 153-129-24 record. I don't make that swap.
Duluth won a title, too. But not a single regular season title, one tournament title and made the NCAA's a paltry 3 of the 9 seasons, with 5 losing seasons and a barely .500 record of 161-149-47. Go ahead if you want to be a Bulldog.
How about Michigan St. and their national title? Zero regular season titles. 1 conference tourney title. 3 losing seasons. Only 4 NCAA appearances in the 9 years and a very average 173-150-42 record.
So far I'm not impressed.
So what about Wisconsin, BU or Denver?
Lot of baggage with Wisconsin. They have that title real early in the stretch of these 9 seasons, but no regular season titles, one very unexpected conference tourney title, 5 of 9 on NCAA appearances, a couple of sub-.500 seasons and a 196-133-39 record a long way behind UND. It might be for some of you, but not me.
BU? One great season with a national title. A couple of HE crowns to go with a couple of HE tourney titles. But they only made the tournament half the time and their overall record is still a long way behind UND, at 204-117-39.
Denver? For me this would be a maybe. 2 regular season crowns, 2 Broadmoors and appearances in 7 of the 9 NCAA tournaments. Pretty good record at 220-115-33. A bit of a toss up, but I might be persuaded to take that record for these past 9 seasons, understanding that the title did come at the very beginning of the run and there has been a generally downward progression.
Anybody that I missed?
So, of course I would love to have BC's record the past 9 years. Who wouldn't? Denver's? Maybe, although I don't like the direction they're going. Who else would you rather be?
Unless someone else has some good answers, I'm not sure I'd be jumping ship right about now.

(Video) UND 3 UMD 0
"It was a good road win tonight," head coach Dave Hakstol said. I have to agree, UMD is a good hockey team and they mirror the UND hockey team. With the win, UND moves into a tie with SCSU, who lost 4-3 to Miami tonight. UND is 6-2-1 when their games are available on DirecTV.
Best records since Nov. 30: 1. BC (17-0-1); 2. UND (13-2-1); 3. Union (15-3-2); 4. Minnesota (11-2-4); 5. Wisconsin (13-5-1).

(Video) MSU vs. UMN Joe Cox Shootout no-goal
So, the moral of the story just is -- just kick the net off -- if you feel like the opposition is going to score on you in the shootout. Right? I have to say, that the officiating in the NCHC, for the most part has been pretty good, except for the second game of the DU vs. UND series.
That being said, it seems like the B1G has been getting some brutal officiating this season. Thoughts? I guess we could say that the shootout is a work in progress.
From SBN College Hockey: Spartans head coach Tom Anastos said to SB Nation's Nate Wells after the game that the referees told him "the net was not in its place when the puck crossed the line." So, the ref spends 4+ minutes reviewing a video and that's the explanation the coach gets. Wow!

@ Nebraska-Omaha
Last weekend the Huskies lost to Minnesota
(4-1) in St. Paul and beat Minnesota State (6-4) in the North Star College Cup
in St. Paul. The Mavericks were off last weekend.
The Huskies are road warriors this season,
crushing their opponents, in their own house, owning an away record of 9-1-0. The Mavericks are 5-7-0 this year at home in
the CenturyLink Center. The Mavericks
are still within sniffing distance of the dawgs. If they get swept at home,
they still be in decent shape at five hundred.
HUSKIES SWEEP
Minnesota-Duluth
@ #20 Western Michigan
Last weekend the Bulldogs Beat Minnesota State
(5-4ot) and tied Minnesota (4-4) in the North Star College Cup in St. Paul. The
Broncos were off last weekend.
The Bulldogs looked good offensively last
weekend in St. Paul, but defensively there is still room for improvement. UMD has been decent on the road going 6-4-0
in road games, and after last weekend 1-0-1 at neutral sites. The Bulldogs last four games have gone to
overtime. The Broncos are 5-4-1 at home
in Lawson Ice Arena in Kalamazoo (did mention how fun it is to say
Kalamazoo). I did ever mention that the
head coach of WMU, Andy Murray, use to coach the LA Kings, and his son, Brady
played for the Fighting Sioux? These
teams played a series in Duluth back in mid-December, with WMU winning the
opener and UMD winning the closer. I
think the visitors win the first game again before the home team settles the
score. SPLIT

UND Hockey: Is there an outdoor game on the horizon?
This tweet hit Twitter yesterday. It's a great idea. It would be fun to have an outdoor hockey game between UND and UMN. Honestly, outdoor games are for the most part a nice spectacle, to be enjoyed by hockey fans. The Winter Classic was a decent game to watch yesterday.
Some fans think they’re a gimmick. I am on the fence with these things. Seriously, how many of these things are we going to have? I think this year we have hit the over saturation point. What do we have, like 20+ outdoor games this year? At last count, there were something like 23 of them. I might have missed a couple.

@ # Minnesota-Duluth
Last weekend Broncos were swept (3-2, 3-2) by
NoDak in Kalamazoo and the Bulldogs were swept (4-2, 5-1) by the Huskies in
Duluth.
Both the Broncos and the Bulldogs are sitting
at .500 in the league standings, so neither team has any reason to play
desperate this weekend. However, a sweep
by one team would vault them up the standings.
Looking at overall records I have to give the nod to the home team this
weekend. BULLDOGS 3-pts
Non-Conference
Games
#20 Denver
(8-6-2) @ #18 Rensselaer (8-5-3)
Last weekend the Pioneers split (3-1W, 4-2L)
with the RedHawks in Oxford and Engineers tied Quinnipiac (3-3ot) and beat
Princeton (5-3) at home in Troy, NY.
The Engineers are playing well at home, with a
4-1-3 record at Houston Fieldhouse this season (NHL size). The Pioneers are decent on the road with a
1-2-2 record away from Denver. With
these teams having almost identical records, I’m say they stay that way with
each team getting a win. SPLIT – RPI
wins Friday, DU wins Saturday
#10 Union
(10-3-2) @ #1 St. Cloud St. (11-1-2)
Last weekend the Huskies swept (4-2, 5-1) the Bulldogs in
Duluth and the Dutchmen beat Princeton (3-0) and Quinnipiac (6-4) at home in Schenectady,
NY.
This should be a good series in St. Cloud with
both teams ranked in the top 10. The
Huskies only loss this this season was to Miami. The Dutchmen have only lost to Colgate, and
dropped a series to Lake Superior State.
With that in mind, Union has had a softer schedule then the
Huskies. SCSU has too much talent and
depth for the Dutchmen to handle over a weekend of play. HUSKIES SWEEP
Colorado
College (2-10-3) @ #15 Wisconsin (6-5-1)
Last weekend the Tigers took 3-pts (4-2, 3-3ot)
from the Mavericks in Colorado Springs and the Badgers
The Tigers went winless in the month of November,
but have started off December on the right skate. The Badgers are undefeated in Madison this
year and with CC coming to town this weekend (and UAH next weekend), they might
be able to keep that record intact until 2014.
I said might; I think CC will steal a game from the former WCHA
rival. SPLIT – CC wins Friday, UW wins
Saturday
Northern
Michigan (6-8-2) @ North Dakota (7-7-2)
Last weekend the Wildcats were swept by
Minnesota State (3-2, 3-0) in Mankato and NoDak swept the Broncos (3-2, 3-2) in
Kalamazoo.
Has NoDak finally found their stride, it is
closing in on Christmas and we all know they seem to win more games around and
especially after Christmas. If you are
old enough you know that NMU was a WCHA member for many years and has a history
with UND. Thus the guys from Marquette
are no strangers to the guys in Grand Forks.
The Wildcats are winless in their last four games and NoDak is on a
three game winning streak. I say they
keep on their streaks. NODAK SWEEP
Denver
(8-6-2) @ Massachusetts (4-11-2) (Tuesday)
The Pioneers go a little farther East to
Amherst, MA after their weekend in Troy, NY.The Minutemen play at Colgate this weekend.
I’m going with the Pioneers here, just on a
hunch, since this will be both teams third game in five days.

A Couple of Nice College Hockey Goals
Former Grafton North Dakota product and current Air Force Academy Cadet forward Chad Demers, scores the game-tying goal against Bentley on a nice rebound. That's goal number seven on the year for Demers. Demers is a junior and spent last summer training at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia.
Gophers forward Seth Ambroz scores the game winning goal with 26-seconds left in the game to give Minnesota the victory. That's also goal number seven on the year for Ambroz.

Gophers no-goal during the overtime versus B.C.
Gophers fans thought forward Taylor Cammarata had scored the game winning goal against Boston College Eagles during the overtime period of Friday’s game. After further review, video confirmed that the puck has stayed out of the net when Eagles defenseman Ian McCoshen grabbed the rebound off Eagles goalie Thatcher Demko and threw the puck down the ice. If anything, the play should dead because of the hand pass.
