Looks like Red Berenson will be back next year for the Wolverines, as long as the Michigan AD wants him.
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 just have a felling that this is SCSU's year. I have them beating Miami for the championship. Mankato and Duluth join them in the FF.
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
-
idk how i feel about playing quinnipiac don't they have a pretty good goaltender
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.
-
Well, in the fan's defense, they did not find out until July 2013 who would be playing at JLA this weekend.
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...
-
This game feels like I'm watching paint dry.
That's a natural experience for most hockey games played in Detroit.

MVP — Joey LaLeggia, Denver
Herb Brooks coach of the year — Dave Hakstol, North Dakota
Forward of the year — Trevor Moore, Denver
Defenseman of the year — LaLeggia, Denver
Goalie of the year — Zane McIntyre, North Dakota
Defensive forward of the year — Mark MacMillan, North Dakota
Offensive defenseman of the year — LaLeggia, Denver
Scholar-athlete of the year — Nick Mattson, North Dakota
NCHC sportsmanship award — Nick Oliver, St. Cloud State
Good haul for the UND folks today.
Surprised that Oliver got the sportsmanship award, thought he was one of the whiniest opposing players that we saw this year.
And Rau got it for the B1G. Maybe everyone just decided to troll with their voting for that award.

From the NCAA website:
The Northeast Regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire and the West Regional at Scheels Arena in Fargo, North Dakota will be held March 27-28. One regional will have start times of 2 and 5:30 p.m. ET on March 27 with a regional final game time of 5:30 p.m. ET on March 28. The start times for the other regional will be 4:30 and 8 p.m. ET on March 27, while the regional final is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET on March 28.
It would make sense to give the later times to the central time zone. So expect Fargo to have the earlier games...

Currently I am cheering for Ferris State, New Hampshire, St. Lawrence and any AHA team and OSU
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.
-
Lets be honest, would Mankato or Michigan Tech be rated so high if they played in the NCHC, especially after christmas? The truth will come out during the NCAA playoffs. I could be wrong but I have a feeling an NCHC team will be taking home the big prize this year.
I took the same attitude toward Ferris State last year, and they definitely held their own in that regional.

Well, I think they were saying our PK was the best in the conference in conference play only.
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%.
-
3rd in conference play, 24th nationally.

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.

I saw that article too. I was surprised, but not outraged, that Zane received as little acknowledgement as he did. I thought it was the perception of most college hockey commentators that Zane was the reason for this season's success.
I'll say this. I would really like to get all these college hockey sportswriters, bloggers, etc..., into the same room and ask them exactly how they think UND is doing it this year. Smoke and mirrors?
They are #1 in the PWR. Tied for best winning % in the country, and won the regular season title in the conference most feel is strongest top to bottom, at least this year.
But apparently our Corsi numbers suck. We don't have anyone even sniffing the top 50 in scoring. Our penalty kill is average, at best. Our power play is ok, but not in the top 10 nationally. And apparently it isn't our goaltender.
Maybe it is all just smoke and mirrors.
Our penalty kill is best in the NCHC. At least that's what I heard at some point during last weekend's broadcast.

i will be their. what goes on at this?
Everyone votes to decide who in attendance is the meanest on Siouxsports. That person then gets tarred and feathered.
-
Go Ferris State, go Bowling Green, go Harvard, and go New Hampshire. Cinderellas all the way!
That's my attitude, too. With the exception of the NCHC, of course.
-
Great ... a highly motivated SCSU team on Friday.
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.
-
Yeah, but the level of talent they played against... Wait, never mind.
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.
-
He and tomek have been climbing and climbing! Two highly touted NHL picks. How did Hak land tomek?! Anyore know if there was any Spirko connections ect..?
Boeser looks to have nice size and can flat out score.
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.
-
Some bad news, folks...looks like I am not going to avoid being out-of-town for this event...anyone out there willing to emcee the annual Hoggs brunch?
What kind of pay scale are we talking for a gig like that?
-
As there should be, 4-24-4 for a program like Wisconsin is inexcusable.
Grand Forks might get burned to the ground if UND ever had a record even remotely close to that.
Hell, it would be chaos if we missed the NCAAs!
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.
