It was Clif Smith that started it. I think it was 1993 or 1994. In fact the first "dancer...sieve...dancer...sieve" chant started in Cincinnati at the 1995 Frozen Four final game vs. Colorado College.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-1141248698279484122006-03-01T15:31:00.000-06:002006-03-01T15:31:00.000-06:00The dancing tradition started way later than 1990....The dancing tradition started way later than 1990.

It trumped Super Bowl XXXII and the 1995 Stanley Cup Finals in my eyes. <BR/><BR/>I'm starting playing the game myself in a couple weeks. Never played before on ice.

I was fortunate enough to be a senior in 1996 (and a first year hockey fan), what a thrill the CCHA and NCAA championships were that year. It's what inspired me to start playing the game myself. 2003 was our best shot at a title in recent years.... (sigh). Buffalo still stings, even more than last year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-1141173581390174062006-02-28T18:39:00.000-06:002006-02-28T18:39:00.000-06:00Jack is a selfish, play hard at all cost, reckless...Jack is a selfish, play hard at all cost, reckless, cheap shot artist. He will realize that it is a team game, where all 6 guys on the ice have to play together, not forecheck and then get caught on the backcheck. The overtime goal was his fault against FU, and its real simple- PLAY DEFENSE- LET THE FORWARD'S SCORE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-1141147684249565392006-02-28T11:28:00.000-06:002006-02-28T11:28:00.000-06:00Interesting slams on JJ being a minus 4.

Another I remember, from a faceoff UM plays a 5-5or man on man, JJ ties his man up and they score, what could he do? Then the overtime goal, just watch the replay, it was NOT a 2-1, JJ was right next to the guy at the blue line, should i say soft goal again? JJ wants to win so badly and is terribly frustrated by a lack of support, and guts. UM loses every battle down low and gets intimidated in other rinkks even to a degree at Yost. How many times I'v stood and watched JJ jump into the play to have the forwards not ee, or turn it over at the blue line, pretty frustrating. Someone said why was he leading the forcheck-because he can and no one else was going in, and besides he was first back. No one has seen a kid quite like JJ. When do you remember a kid with all that talent, skating, stickhandling, toughness. Leading the country in penalties, right up in scoring and plus/minus? Just doesn't happen. He's a stallion, you don't control him, you unleash him! At least he plays his heart out every shift every game. Goaltending is the reason this team is where it is, by far. Just no one will admit it. They are terrible. The 9-1 record, look who they played, maybe deceiving. the team has way too many guys that really do nothing. There is very little real talent there honestly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-1141147398476146122006-02-28T11:23:00.000-06:002006-02-28T11:23:00.000-06:00You and me both Colin...all I wanted in my 4 years...You and me both Colin...all I wanted in my 4 years as a student was a national championship in something (I'm talking rev sports here thank you...I love several of the non-revs but I'm not going to do a backflip over a field hockey title). Football crapped away their best shot, hockey got screwed out of theirs. 6 years running of having tickets and I'm still waiting. <BR/><BR/>To have been at U of M 5 years earlier...2 hockey titles and a football title.
