Wow, two teams pressuring the puck in all zones.....what?

Well after the Texas A&M spring game was on earlier I was figuring the men's baseball team would be up next.

WHAT!!!!!! THEY CUT AWAY FROM THAT ALL IMPORTANT EARLY SEASON SEC MATCHUP? Someone needs to write a letter. Guess LaCrosse is the only sport that keeps tv time.

Hold on guys, I'm pretty riveted by this softball game.....I'm hopefull for extra innings.

My moniker is way cooler than my actual name.....way cooler.....But I don't want to get taken out by that guy that went all Steven A. Smith on me after Minnesota beat BSU 10-1 both nights after UND tied them.

No Moniker.....ufff......green or black.....business suits.....or green.....errrr... Black.

I'm guessing the eastern votes were split, and the western votes went the way of the guy that seemed like he was at SCSU forever...... Congrats to Mr. LeBlanc, a well deserved honor.

Sign me up for one please.

First period killed SCSU. Three chances, three goals. Two teams playing some pretty good hockey. Should be a good championship game. I'll say Yale....3-2.

Saw Hartzell play for Sioux Falls against the Fargo Force at the first ever game at the then Urban Plains Center. (Force won 2-1) Game winning goal was scored by Luke Witkowski (Western Mich, just went pro), and the Force goaltender was SCSU's own Mike Lee. Believe Nate Condon scored a goal in that game too. Hartzell's dad was coaching Sioux Falls then. Thought he was pretty good then.

PS: Wish Gary Thorne was doing the play by play. Him or Doc....

Love Buccigross, but he needs to relax with the whole "Save by Hartzell" in the deep voice.

To quote the great Doug Woog, "Your goaltending has to be there."

I for one thought Ford Field was a tremendous idea......

This reminds me of UND-BC all too many times.....

Faragher looks awful. Just terrible.

Since I didn't even know there was such thing as a Jared Larson, I'm thinking gopher fans won't be overly concerned with that one. Even with some big losses I still think they win the big ten. Goalie back, have some experienced forwards back, and I think the recruiting class they have coming in is going to contribute right away. Plus they'll have three healthy Reillys. Which is way better than just two healthy Reillys.

Excited to see Keaton Thompson on campus. I think he'll have a tremendous career, and it will be nice to have North Dakota blood back on the team with him/LaDue/Johnson. I would expect to see LaDue and Thompson very involved in the power play. Although once you play for the Sioux you always have North Dakota blood. Or walk to class when its 60 below wind chill.....both will work.

Although I dislike Gwoz one cannot underscore what he did for the university of Denver. Question is antics all you want, question the personality, but the guy made Denver a hockey power in the country, and I'm not going to go out on a limb by saying that Denver probably now finishes on the bottom half of the new league.

Chris Fournier=Josh Siembida........

I'm taking your piss out of my Cheerios, because any team in the field could have won it this year, won't matter what the outcome is at the frozen four.

According to my dad, everyone played at Sacred Heart.... No, that was a Siembida to Quinnipiac after UND reference, where he lit the world on fire.

Hopefully checking is allowed in the new league. And for the love of God I hope diving is called in the Big Ten....

The order in which I would prefer a national championship go for the frozen four... 1. Yale-Not cheering for them, but it may make it easier on me if they win it all..... 2. SCSU-Come on.....think of the years of "gopher rejects" cheers. 3. Lowell-Wouldn't mind seeing them win it I guess. 4. Qunnipiac-Because Josh Siembida is a big reason that program is at where they're at.

Alright, its settled to me then: Top eight get home ice in best of three first round of playoffs. After the first round, you reseed with the top four getting home ice and play a super regional best of three to go to the frozen four. The NC$$ makes money, and attendance isn't a fricken disaster. Plus we don't have to wait two weeks for the frozen four. Semifinals Friday, and Championship Sunday afternoon or evening. Can't complain.
