Cornell and Denver have had low scoring games in the NCAA tournament about 3 & 4 years ago. Big teams like Cornell are tough to play against during tourney time, and if they can stay out of the box, they will probably be in another low scoring game with them, where the bounces could make the difference. Cornell will have to keep it low scoring to have a chance as I don’t see Hicks giving up a lot.

Hopefully Larson’s power play isn’t as good on regulation size ice surfaces.

Tickets are more than the NCHC playoffs, so makes sense if that was too much, having to pay for a hotel and tickets should be too.

Would guess Dave Shyiak will apply, but even having been an assistant at St. Cloud, his poor record as head coach at both Anchorage and Northern Michigan would probably disqualify him, along with his age. If Nick Oliver would want to go to a program that has issues, would think he would be the top choice.

So the gophers hired a coach that had confrontations with officials and nice guy Brad Berry! If he wins though he will garner sainthood like Lucia did.

Would think a young guy like Nick Oliver would be a good candidate, so he can get head coach experience in a program that has possible issues going forward.

Especially when a coach hasn’t even been named yet.

I assume he played for Nightingale at NDTP.

Are we sure Raboin isn’t the mystery candidate?

Here’s something, push for on campus sites of higher seeds. Of course they don’t want to because they don’t have to travel more than a short distance now.

Agree, I would be devastated if we lost the first game this year, but I know Dane would be even more pissed and work with Chyzyk and his staff to remedy any of their shortcomings. Before the year, talk of Vegas seemed like a pipe dream, and just getting a competitive roster would have seemed like a win for the program, so imagine having more time to drill down on roster upgrades, and having the program back in a spot to be attractive to recruits.

Seems to me the same thing was said of Will Zellers last year. Since over half Simpson’s points are on the power play, they didn’t help his plus/minus stats. He may have a learning curve in college to play a 200 foot game, but I hope he can make a progression like Zellers has, because he has exceeded my expectations in that regard. Simpson might have to play more situationally besides the power play if the transition takes longer.

Yeah, for them to say the balance of power has shifted to the west this year is ignorant. The power has been in the west for a while.

Maybe he is just talking about the casual fan that shows up to the selection show and realizes his beloved BU team and rival BC team are nowhere to be found. It would be the epitome of their arrogance and very limited view of college hockey.

Fairness? 2 playing #13 instead of #19?
