As per usual, bunch of homers around here haha

I saw a tweet (I think it was from the Wisco beat writer) saying the Wisconsin AD said Eaves wasn't going anywhere either.

I had SCSU making the Frozen Four. But then I realized I had a BU/BC final and decided to scrap it all and start again haha

Not sure. The selection show broadcast said they're pretty banged up right now.

Even though Providence is a lower seed, Miami gets hosed playing them in their backyard. A little surprised they avoided all NCHC first round match ups. No one would have blamed them with 6 teams in the tourney. Crazy how difficult some of these regionals look.

hahaha well played. And that's a valid point. It's not like the Frozen Faceoff or the Final Five when you don't know until the weekend before who will be there. Every team makes their tournament, so they know for certain their team is going to be there. Geez...

I thought the regional in Grand Rapids was bad. This is even worse...

That's a natural experience for most hockey games played in Detroit.

And Rau got it for the B1G. Maybe everyone just decided to troll with their voting for that award.

It would make sense to give the later times to the central time zone. So expect Fargo to have the earlier games...

Yep...officially riding the upset train.

Hell's Kitchen put an ad in the Grand Forks Herald in anticipation of UND fans flocking to the area. Smart move.

I took the same attitude toward Ferris State last year, and they definitely held their own in that regional.

But that link above says we're 3rd in the conference in conference play only. Plus, I remember it being in the 84% range, which refers to our national PK. Our in conference PK is only 80%.

That 24th nationally is the best of the NCHC teams (miami is 25th). Talk about Midco twisting a mediocre stat to make it sound amazing haha.

Our penalty kill is best in the NCHC. At least that's what I heard at some point during last weekend's broadcast.

Everyone votes to decide who in attendance is the meanest on Siouxsports. That person then gets tarred and feathered.

That's my attitude, too. With the exception of the NCHC, of course.

To be fair, UND was desperate last year and still lost on Friday. Here's hoping SCSU does the same. I'd also be ok with SCSU having their season salvaged by a Saturday win, like UND last year. 6 teams in the tournament? Yes please.

Hahaha that's exactly how that went in my brain too!

Wow. I just realized that Huntsville finished the season with twice as many wins as Wisconsin...

Are those numbers if Providence loses too? CHN only had BC drop to 10 after the loss to vermont tonight.

I remember Brad's article saying Tomek knew who Spirko was but didn't know him personally. I believe he just did a ton of research on various schools once he got to the states.

What kind of pay scale are we talking for a gig like that?

Exactly. I'm sure the coach was referencing the team's youth when he mentioned other circumstances going on. The problem with that is 1) According to the above article, Wisconsin is only the 10th youngest team in the nation this year, and 2) Abundant youth is directly the result of Eaves' refusal to adjust his recruiting and class sizes in an attempt to balance.
