I think the obstruction inconsistency will be a hot topic at post season meetings. Have to credit Denver, especially, for bringing this to the forefront.

I'd have to agree with sagard. The way the predictions for the west and midwest regionals are shaping up, it's hard to like anyone's chances there; someone has to win though. It's funny that the east school fans think just opposite of us; better to be sent west and beat up on the teams there than to have to beat the teams from HE. Interesting; we'll soon find out.

I thought yellowdog was a riot. Fun chatting with him

dubay and happy all rolled into one

Like 'em so much you said it twice, eh?

Just goes to show how many sports I know anything about outside DI men's hockey, and it's unlikely I'll skip work to watch the gurls. More internet audio, I guess, getting tired of it.

ONe who is attracted to butts in breezers should like hair in helmets, or wasn't that you?

D. Hale, Parise, Bochenski all have fair shots to be on one of the teams. Would think D. Hale would have been a first team automatic had he not gotten sick and missed so many games through the end of the season.

The adults vs. students debate has raged on forever, and always will. I don't want to remember the things I did as a student, but, unfortunately, I remember too many. The only consolation is that, the current students, will soon become adults and in a short time will be arguing with their own kids. What goes around comes around. Wish the seating that a non-season ticket holder buys were not in the student section, since it's not the best place to put young kids. But, they'll hear it sooner or later anyway.

DE or WCHA_rulez

All games except the Friday afternoon semifinal (cc/??) will be on FOXN.

IMO it's worse than a fart in church. "Gurls" basketball. Say it ain't true. Bluetorch TV would be better competition

Thought there was an echo inside my head

I believe two teams have made it to the championship from the playin game, but both lost. Let's make it three and change the other stat, to a first playin champion.

Very loud crowd, sounded great, but about 4-5 minutes behind the live action. Or was that my internet feed I heard you four minutes after you said something, though. Sounds travels slowly to western ND

ROTFLMAO, Frank

Given Brandt's performance this weekend, I think the Sioux will be tough competition if he continues that play. The first time this year, including all the "cupcakes", where I felt like the Sioux goaltending (Brandt) matched the competition's (and matching Berkhoel/Dubielewicz is the toughest match of any competition this year). I expect the Sioux to get past Duluth and give CC a good game, losing by 1. Then, coming back to beat Mankato for third place. Nice getting two revenge wins out of the way this weekend, the CC revenge game can wait until the FF . Lofty expectations, but a Sioux fan's expectations, nonetheless

Thanks, sagard, had forgotten about a third place game (and now am looking for seeing the Sioux twice on FOXN). I'd expect Mankato to be there, as well as the Sioux, if they can get by Duluth (they better). Seems that lots of uscho Kato fans are counting on a win vs. the Gophs. Highly unlikely as far as I'm concerned. As much as I'd like the Sioux to make the championship game, it will be tough playing CC to get there (again, having to beat Duluth first). It would be nice, anyway, to beat both Duluth and Mankato, since they both helped knock the Sioux out of the top three (although beating Duluth, CC and MN would be even better). From a pairwise perspective, getting Denver was the best possible scenario for the Sioux (actually SCSU would have been fine also). Although Wisco would have been a weaker opponent (even though Mankato struggled against them, totally unexpected as bad as Wisco looked the week before against the Sioux), Denver bumps up the Sioux significantly in the pairwise, and playing them 3 times was better than 2. Since Kato was so near the bubble going into the weekend, getting Wisco was not a good deal for them, although had they got Denver, or even SCSU, they may have lost. Of course, Kato's final five games will help solidify their spot in the NCAA's, win or lose (as it will for the Sioux). In addition, the third place game is also on TV, so there is still a possiblility of seeing the Sioux twice this week (bummer that the CC semifinal game is not on ); I think the WCHA screwed up by not getting that one on FOXN. Can't imagine there are any other commitments (Timberwolves, Wild) on Friday afternoon. At any rate, I look forward to watching the CC/MN matchup in the championship (if the Sioux can't get there). I have a bit more confidence in the Sioux given their level of play this weekend against Denver, especially the play of Brandt. If he performs like that in the final five, the Sioux will be tough competition. There's little doubt that the Sioux would have come out better against both Duluth and Mankota had their netminding been equal to their opponents' in those series

GWG on shot number 40.

Fuher scores! Whoops, we already knew that The Bronco defense is headed to the golf course

Finally get to see the Sioux on TV Thursday. Grudge match with Duluth. Scott is going down this time (Sandelin, that is, Murph is probably on the floor already )

The rest of us are still waiting.

One of these tips in front have to go in, eventually. Sioux must have 10 of them in the game already.

Can't keep my feed connected any longer; in and out constantly. Guess I should start drinking like Murph and watch the board for the goal.
