Wilbur

I'll take Rowney. PS: Thanks for doing this all year. A fun contest. Even though I suck and have only made the third round once.

Whats it going to take for Rocco to bury some of his chances? Love the kid to death. Best player on the ice in a lot of games, and makes whatever line he's on UND's best scoring unit. If he had that finishers touch he'd lead the team in goals this year. PS: Guess thats why he didn't make the all rookie team of a noted journalist in the WCHA.

Yup......Beat Miami, beat UND in the first addition of UND can't score on this goalie, then rallied back and beat a good Duluth team, then Maine found out what its like to not be able to score a goal like UND did. That Denver game was the last time Zach Parise and Brandon Bochenski put on UND jerseys. Also last game Dean "In God We Trust" Blais was the head coach of our favorite group. If UND gets beaten out by Tech, they possibly still make the tournament....We will coin that "The Denver Theory" copywrite Snake.

I think UND will be Minnesota's toughest opponent in this tournament. Just played them to a 2-0 hockey game in their rink where the shots were pretty similar, and their All American/world goalie bailed them out of a few situations. I'll be the jerk that says the winner of this game is the national champion.

^^^^^^yup Bodies in front, taking away her vision. If she sees it she'll stop it. Shots on net have to be low. She'll eat anything up thats upstairs in her midsection. It won't be pretty. Need greasy goals. I'm not about running a goaltender at all, but she has to be as uncomfortable as possible. Someone needs to be in her kitchen all day.

Big assist from BU today......More hockey for the ladies in green and white. Looking forward to the game.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From now on lets call it the Duluth theory. Lose out, get rested, and win the national championship. Does it only work though if you get into a cheap bracket?

Schlossman's Harvard buddy has been tweeting him that based on past criteria that UND is in the tournament. Then again, you have no idea what will happen because of the crap we've seen in the past with them and our beloved institution. I have a good feeling. UND vs. Minnesota at Ridder Arena. Saturday at 2pm.....feeling it.

BU does their part. Now we wait.

Not sure....I saw the same thing. About two minutes left now, 5-2.

I think you are right about this. Not sure why I had it going Kato-Bucky-Denver. Thank you. Edit* Denver-CC in the first round.....yes!

BU up 6-2 now late in the third period. So its all up to the NC$$ to make the choice now.

BU goes up 3-1 in the third period.

I don't believe the tournament is reseeded. So SCSU would get the Kato-Bucky winner, and Minnesota the Denver-UND winner.

After two....still 2-1. Twenty minutes to keep the hopes alive for another couple of hours.

Following it via the hockey east website. Is there a game link for a video? 2-1 BU with under 6 in the second.

This is what I see happening. Probably wrong as usual! SCSU beats UAA (Funny how both teams seasons depends on this weekend) Minnesota over BSU UND over Tech Minnesota State vs. Duluth......ohhh boy....well....since they are at home....State Wisconsin over CC Denver over Omaha.....Omaha not playing good hockey. Thursday games: MSU-Bucky UND-Denver UND and Denver on a Thursday night in downtown St. Paul.....be fun to watch.....If Wisconsin doesn't put everyone to sleep on Thursday afternoon.

And now its 2-1 BU....my fault.

Sioux women have a heartbeat. BU up 2-0 after the first period. If Wisconsin gets in over UND if BU wins I give up.....I flat out call shenanigans against the women's program. PS: Noora Raty too.....why is she so fricken good?

As always you are correct troll.... As inconsistent as the Sioux have been at times you could say the same about SCSU. Getting swept at home by RPI, then winning part of the league title. Funny how hockey works.....they are considered a bubble team right now....tied for tenth in the pairwise.

Like the regional looks. I for one am happy that Miami gets to play a regional in their home state. You talk about a team that has been thrown to the wolves in the past with having to play out east as a #1 seed, and playing in BC regionals in Mass.

The only year I really minded the Minnesota rule is when UND had the quick turnaround against Denver because of it (The Bina game). No team that ever won on Thursday night, won on Friday afternoon. Plenty came close, but just didn't have the legs to get over the hump. Duluth came close against CC one year, same for the Sioux against Denver that day.

That is my biggest concern with the club. Its playoff time and we are nowhere close to seeing a consistent lineup. I'm a huge believer of Rocco staying on the top line, but then who fills out unit two? Mark M works with Parks and Rowney, but at the same time Mitch really hasn't been good with anybody, but Mark. Its the time of the year when I don't sleep because of the enormity of hockey coming up. Thats another concern.
