UMD Assistant Can Finally Put The Pain Of Past Championship Game To Rest
April 11, 2011 I came across this nice article about Bill Watson, an assistant coach currently for the Bulldogs who of course was on the 1984 team that suffered a heartbreaking loss in their bid for a national championship. I remember watching that game and I think anyone who did feels a little redemption now, if not to the degree of someone who lived it.
The pain had lingered for 27 years, deep in Bill Watson's heart. He will never forget the precise moment when it evaporated: 9:17 p.m. Saturday evening, when Kyle Schmidt buried the puck in the Michigan net.
