I think it's safe to consider the Sioux unlikely contenders. http://siouxsports.com/hockey/whatif/index.php Retrieve username: mcnaughton password: cup With a lot of games remaining, on a modest hot streak, and seemingly not THAT far out of 1st, I did a little playing around with the remaining games to see just what it would take to be in the hunt for the McNaughton.

Two years ago when the team was struggling at the half-way point, plenty of people were discussing the lackluster first half performance and why UND wasn't a contender to win the conference. Hakstol's continued success at pushing through to Frozen Four berths has seemed to make people accepting of the slow starts, which is kind of disappointing.

Sioux fans seem to have lost focus on the regular season trophy, which I find disturbing. At UND, two types of banners are hung, WHCA Champs and National Champs. We haven't seen either type for several years, so I don't buy the "late season surge" theory as a valid philosophy. I like that you point out UND’s blown chance to hoist the McNaughton.
