DU struggled a few years back in their first game against Bemidji, but made it to the finals. Regional games can be tough, especially when you have a weak opponent.
Regardless of how they play up to the playoffs, Maine's always tough in the NCAA tournament. I picked a UMass/Maine East Final.........GO BLACK BEARS!!!
That will be the biggest challenge for us, IMO. We'll get a ECAC or Hockey East ref. I'm hoping Hockey East as they let the boys play a little more than ECAC.
St. Cloud struggling early against Maine. Better clean up their act quick or all they'll be doing is be adding another year to their participation banner, rather than adding a new banner for NCAA wins! 3-1 Maine.
They still fill better than these crowds. The regional should be in either the Twin Cities, GF, or Wisconsin every year, as they'd fill the building better than any other place.
