What didn't Coach Hakstol find humorous? Something about signage?
ReplyDeleteHe said it in this week's press conference.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't find the walk across the ice by Gwoz to be entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI am unsure if Hakstol finds anything humorous.
ReplyDeleteDid they choose tUMD because they will be including Sandy in the celebration? Or just to rub it in our faces that we have none? Ah, someday. Like 4/10/10...
Probably not, since Sandy was at UND before he became the coach at tUMD and he was a UND player and a UND coach and at one time was rumored/assumed to be the next coach at UND before Hakstol took over.
ReplyDeleteSo before Sandy went to the dark side we liked him. :)
If I am not mistaken Sandy interviewed for the the job at UMD before the end of the 2000 season. So when UND's season ended he headed to the dark side.
Uh, Goon, the first part of my question was whether they chose this date so they could include Sandy.
ReplyDeleteThe answer of probably not meant that it wasn't intended to be a rub it in moment. I guess I should have made that more clear.
ReplyDeleteI... still think we are not on the same page here, but it is unimportant.
ReplyDeleteLast night on the FSSN broadcast they said that the NHL was out on olypic break and Commodor and a buch of the other players were going to be there and that I believe they wanted Sandy to part of the ceremony as well.
ReplyDeleteAha! That's what I was wondering. I was only joking about the "rubbing it in our noses" part. UND would have done it Gopher weekend then!
