They did, and I thought it would be their undoing considering how solid Hafner has been. Clearly, that wasn't the case, and they have a phenomenal goaltender tandem.

It depends on what you mean by fluky. The fact that Grimaldi's second goal went in is fluky in my opinion. But on some of them, the puck bouncing in the air may be fluky, but the hand-eye coordination to still hit it in for a goal is not.

I picked that Kovacs (2) goal over Grimaldi (2) as well. Just impressive all around.

Both Hebert goals are on the other side of the bracket. The one he's referring to is going up against Pitt in the second round.

Nothing like attacking another poster in your second post on this board. Go away, troll.

Well, that escalated quickly.

We know awesome Sioux hockey starts after the obnoxious "Get on Your Feet" song, but that doesn't make it any less assaulting on the ears.

I wonder how much the attendance was affected by it being a Thursday night game.

Not sure about TV, but all conference playoff games are available for free on the NCHC website.

Thank goodness! Got a little bracket pool going with a few friends; my picks are based on best goal; others voted on the assumption that Sioux fans would push all the Sioux players through.

But that's just your opinion. Personally, I found that being only one of roughly 2,000 people in a 12,000+ seat arena in Grand Rapids last year created an incredible atmosphere. (sarcasm alert)*

Except the cases aren't comparable because, not only is SCSU higher in the pairwise and RPI, but they also beat us head-to-head (3-1). I didn't see anyone here saying that the Sioux are better than the Huskies because of either of those components. We may think we'd beat them in the tourney, but that factors in that anything can happen in a one-and-done situation.

That was a gorgeous goal. He took it up ice and chipped it up the wall to himself to get around a defender, then made a tight angle sniper shot from just before the goal line.

It's her third year playing, and eligibility was actually limited due to a league she played in in Europe, not coursework.

Josh Fenton will decide based on who makes it.

You mean you haven't converted her to a full-blown Sioux fan yet? She should be in the EZ chair, kicked back right next to you!

I suppose the fact that Lake Superior State fired their coach last week would fall into this thread as well. I'm not sure if it was already mentioned.

Ryan Haggerty of RPI leaving early. Looks like the first 'off season' departure.

Which seems to be way different this year. I haven't looked up specific stats, but most of the blow outs have come because of strong second periods. That probably plays a factor in why the third isn't as strong.

'Cause we're the three best friends that anyone could have. The three best friends that anybody could have. And we'll never ever ever ever ever leave each other.'

Considering Friday was the first play-by-play he had ever called, and he got a 3-hour heads up, I thought he did amazing. Half the band was in Bemidji with the women, so that's why they were quieter. Neither is an excuse for the crowd to not be cheering, though.

I took a look back at the UND vs CC scores for this season and last year's. Based on these results, I'm predicting scores of 3-2, 3-4, and 5-3. UND in 3. 5-3 W - GF 3-2 W - GF 3-4 L (OT) - Final Five 5-3 W - GF 3-4 L - GF 3-2 W (OT) - CC 3-5 L - CC Always some pretty close and exciting games. I remember the 3-2 OT W in Colorado Springs last season. Sioux scored to tie with barely anytime left to force OT. The game was so back and forth, my friends and I could barely breathe. And of course we totally lost it when the Sioux scored in OT. World Arena was rocking with Sioux fans.

It's Miley. You, Goon, and MafiaMan could still all go and twerk together.

I know, but in that part, I really was talking about the regionals. If I were UNO, I'd be mad because either the arena didn't think they'd get home ice or didn't care.

I meant Friday instead of Saturday.
