DeRosa trying to keep friends for MLB network interviews with Harper, Schwarber. Overall he's been a terrible manager this WBC.

Part that sucks too is Sandy and company getting in the PK mindset and thinking they'd have to kill a major penalty because it was blatantly obvious. Ho hum, Bibby just gets two assists afterwards, no big deal.

USA vs. Venezuela. I'm expecting the bullpens to be extremely active in this one. McLean vs. Rodriguez. Rodriguez had a 5 ERA last season for Arizona, but is a lefty, and team USA has got a ton of those in the lineup. Guessing you may see Buxton and Bregman start this evening, but PCA and Henderson have been pretty good for them. Big question for team USA is whether Miller is available tonight. Reports coming out that the Padres may not want him on the mound this evening.

Do you mean can't play Michigan or Michigan State or is there some kind of between the lines bylaw that I'm missing out on?

Ohh what the heck, if this happened: Albany: 1. Michigan vs. 16. Clarkson 8. Penn State vs 9. Cornell Sioux Falls 2. UND vs 15. Bentley 7. Providence vs. 10. The Q Worcester 3. Sparty vs. 13. St. Thomas 5. Duluth vs. 12. UCONN Loveland 4. Western vs. 14. Ohio State 6. Denver vs. 11. Dartmouth

Ran another scenario. This scenario would mean St. Thomas in Sioux Falls, and likely the winner of Duluth and Penn State if they beat St. Thomas?

If Denver is the 6, they could flop 6 and 7 and keep Cornell out east while Denver has to play in Loveland. Honestly the whole bracket could be the same minus Sparty being in place of UND in Worcester. If Duluth sneaks in at 5, and Denver 6, the committee is going to have to get a bit creative. I think that would absolutely nuke Sioux Falls attendance, so it would make sense to keep UND in Sioux Falls against likely Minnesota State right away as I can't imagine the NCAA flying three east coast schools to Sioux Falls.

I just ran a this scenario: Winners: Mankato over St. Thomas. Dartmouth, Cornell, Cornell wins Umass, Uconn, Uconn wins Michigan over Ohio State Duluth over Denver Bentley wins This puts Duluth at the 5th seed and Denver 6th. Would UND then end up in Colorado as the 2 possibly?

I'll agree with several. If we are of the belief that our bracket needs to line up a certain way we're in trouble. 2016 we played the HE tournament champs, then B1G tournament champs, then a really good Denver squad before the ECAC champ Q Bobcats.

Fun game to watch. Feel for the DR on strike 3 call that was low, but thats the human element I guess. No Joe Ryan on Tuesday. Find a way to get it to inning #5 and you've got a great chance.

They kicked our butts, but I need an explanation on the spearing. Especially when I watched Verhoeff get a butt ending major that wasn't even close to being as nasty as the cup check.

Japan goes down, kind of surprised, but credit to Venezuela fighting back. I'll pick the Dominican tonight, and Venezuela over Italy. I don't think Italy has the pitching and will have the full attention of Venezuela in Miami.

Well I'm upset with the #2 overall seed and a likely visit to Sioux Falls with a bunch of our fans there. I'd rather sit and watch UMASS and Minnesota play in Fargo....

The XGA will tell the tale. Hopefully something comes back that we were supposed to win based on shots or something.

I'm waiting for the analytics per Jax so I can pass judgements on this.

Could be Minnesota State as well.

You could have two CCHA teams in the tournament if the purple cows beat St. Thomas and no other upsets. That could mean UND-Mankato in Sioux Falls. Hopefully UCONN ends BC's season. Merrimack a punchers chance. They win two games and they could end up in Massachusetts or Albany. It'd be a shame if no Beanpot schools made it. I wouldn't count Clarkson out in the ECAC. They looked good against the Q sweeping Rand in his home rink.

We really need someone to knock out BC. I'd hate for any 1 seed to have to play them out east.

I thought Verhoeff was -4. He wasn't good tonight. Way too cute with the puck and sloppy d zone. Good things to point out in the film room. Can't just throw shade there though, collectively a bad night from a lot of guys. Get everyone healthy now, and try and win two games when the NCAAs starts.

The right team won the game. The guys can either dwell for a week and a half, or pick themselves up and get ready for the postseason.

Lol....first quarter shots....😆

The tape won't be kind to Verhoeff. 5-1.

Gotta remember that Verhoeff is 18 years old at times....

Keep fighting. 3-1.

Showing the 2017 NCHC run the goalie game.....efff....😀
