EDC Opens tonight: I'll take: North 3-2 West Fargo 5-4 Central 5-1 Red River 6-1
-
I'll admit that I didn't know the rule until now either. I'd honestly prefer if they went to the college style playoffs and just go from the 30 yard line in. Make the teams always have to go for 2 after a TD though.

And here I thought that Peluso was hanging it up because of hockey parents.....no way he could have foreseen this happening..... The way that things are trending in youth sports hockey parents will move out of the BHS boundary area, or they'll use uncle/aunt/grandma's address in the Legacy or Century district. This same scenario could play out in West Fargo, as talks have started about when the right time to add a hockey team to Horace High School is. Stay tuned there as well.

The Beanpot is just a fantastic hockey tournament. I know Minnesota tried with their Northstar cup to do something similar, but it just goes unrivaled in college hockey.

Back down to Colorado for a second time this season to get some revenge against the Tigers for their sweep (we did get two points I guess) at REA. I watched their Friday night game against SCSU a few weeks ago and they very much deserved to win that game, but couldn't get it done even with a 5x3 in OT. They regrouped and won on Saturday night. Last week was a week off for UND, the same can be said for them. Miami did us no favors against SCSU, so points are pivotal in Colorado Springs this weekend. @Godsmack, you have the floor.

The fan in me likes the Thursday-Friday-Saturday, but it makes sense for region tournaments to split it up and do Tuesday-Friday-Saturday. Once you get to the Saturday of the State hockey tournament the kids from the West are playing their 6th game in 10 days. I think there is a bit more jump on Saturday at the EDC with it not being the third game in three days for those teams as well. At the same time, the travel is a bit more feasible in the East region for a Tuesday night game. You don't have a Williston to Jamestown scenario, or a Bottineau to Dickinson type trip. The worst trip in the EDC would be Devils Lake to Fargo which isn't terrible with interstate.

And absolutely, the gap day sucks. For fans that is.

Honestly Adam, there is no perfect system to selecting and there never will be. Regardless there will always be an upset school or two in most NCAA tournament selections. See Florida State not getting into FBS playoffs, NDSU not getting a seed in FCS playoffs this year. IMHO he is too entrenched in the "keep it fair" argument. Well Adam, in the current system there have been countless "not fair" scenarios based on regionals being held in locations a stones throw from certain campuses where higher seeded teams are playing a road game, notably Miami in Providence when Providence was the last team in. Ticket prices....sigh... Nothing to do with it Adam....talk to Delta airlines about flight costs and the Best Western about their prices....plus your rental car or Uber everywhere for what could be a one and done. At least he's come a bit more towards the middle.

EDC play ins going as expected. Looks like Grafton gave Devils Lake a battle. Davies up 5-0 over Mayport.
-
There are some excellent goalies on the girls side this season. Sorlie, Seeley, Ackerman, just to name a few. I've seen Seeley quite a bit this season. Good goaltender, even better kid.
-
The new kid from valley city is a pretty good all around athlete. Played goalie for Jamestown for a few years and I believe was all state for them ( @sioux rube may need to clarify for me). VCSU male athlete of the year. Lets see how he makes the jump.
-
Both WF teams have lost some guys that I know of. Central has been hit throughout the year. North lost a forward to a head injury. The time of the year when you are lucky if you are healthy!
-
So in all liklihood: EDC: RR vs. DL WF vs. South/Shanley Central vs. Davies Sheyenne vs. North WDA: Century vs Bottineau Mandan vs. Dickinson Legacy vs. Williston Minot vs. Jamestown
-
Those Boston teams are scary. They throw the puck around a bit defensively, but they just make you pay so much for turning the puck over.
-
Last night in the EDC. Red River vs. S/S Central vs. GPR Moorhead vs. Davies Devils Lake vs. North Sheyenne vs. WFHS Only thing not set is 3-6. North needs to beat Devils Lake or a Red River win over South to claim third. South has earned home ice as at least #4. Sheyenne has to beat WFHS in regulation and by 2 goals to claim 5th place. I believe the tiebreaker is head to head, then differential, and then region wins. So WFHS would have the tiebreaker with a one goal loss. If I'm wrong here please correct me. Entire WDA on PSP network. Can't wait!

This Beanpot game is fun to watch. Love the tenacity on a Monday.
-
Nice post. When I attended UND it was the opposite, at least the classes I was in. I will say that Jake Brandt for the celebrity that he was was always at class, and seemed to do well.
-
Legacy vs. Sheyenne was a good game. Legacy didn't play Miller in net, but the backup played really well. You could tell Legacy played Friday night and Sheyenne is missing four regulars with injuries. 1-1 tie. The former goaltender in me doesn't want to talk about a nonconference shootout that didn't mean anything.
-
Ohh boy....Assist on the GWG on Friday, 33 for 34 on Saturday. Ludvig may be NCHC goalie of the week... (Runs and hides)
-
If a certain goalie from Sweden doesn't give up another goal we are okay. That is if he's still on the team after his performance yesterday.
-
Legacy beats South/Shanley last night in a crossover matchup. Looks like South started their backup goalie, but its a matchup you could see at the first round of the state tournament. I've got a feeling the West gets an opening round win this year.
-
I think the mood after last night from the group is "we got away with one." Blake's post game celly was perfect. The guy has scored some goals in his day and is normally one to puff his chest a bit. I hope the team defense is better this evening. Neutral zone was soft and we took a step back from the Denver performance in our end. Let's win 5-1 tonight. Control the game, play fast and in their end.
-
Nope, I'm saying those that were calling for his head may have been wrong.
-
Well I think it was completely on our goalie....should've been yanked after he didn't stop the second shot on the first goal Miami scored. I mean he likely wants the 2nd and 3rd back, but the 2nd was a point blank shot 2-1....the 3rd was a blown coverage top of the crease look. Completely agree. Last night was an everyone issue, and I think after the 4th goal against Ludvig made some big time saves to keep us alive.
-
Assist on the game winner for Ludvig too....
