You guys are right, the WCHA official post USED TO have JT Brown on there twice but not anymore.

Actually, we got 5.

You jogged my memory (also that was the only other explanation besides a typo. Academic freshmen cannot win the award.)

You're doing a disservice to your players by not listing the All-Academic players. (Star means they've won the award before, although how could Maris have won already? He must be academically a junior?) Ben Blood* Brett Bruneteau Brent Davidson* Brad Eidsness* Matt Frattin Chay Genoway* Jason Gregoire* Brett Hextall* Ryan Hill Mario Lamoureux* Derrick LaPoint* Andrew MacWilliam Brad Malone Tate Maris* Jake Marto* Carter Rowney

Go Anchorage!!!

Awesome, thanks Jim!

Any other nerds out there ever wonder what a PWR would look like if all 58 teams were compared?

Well, that is strange, but ah well, at least no one who hasn't gotten them should be worried yet.

Ray wins the thread and gets my magical +1 for the day.

I don't know for certain, of course, but I can't imagine the school's allotment would be anywhere other than the lower bowl. There is no skills competition anymore. There's something going on on Friday night, but you had to pay extra for it, and from what I understand, you would have received those tickets at the same time.

There is a USCHO posters game on Saturday morning, if anyone is interested in showing off their mad skillz or trying to make me the Wehrs to your Frattin/Malone.

We are in 209, not sure which row as they are alllllllllllll the way upstairs. IceArenaMan, I wonder if your tickets were like unrenewed/turned in tix the 2nd time around.

I got mine yesterday! The tickets are like double-wide. I laughed because the sheet that lists the future regionals said "University of Minnesota, Twin Cities." Superb.

It's a factual comment. What exactly are you asking in your first sentence? It doesn't make sense.

I hadn't seen it anywhere, it's an interesting statistic. However, you have 3 opponents who would not be a TUC under the "top 25" definition from previous years.

You are right, the flexibility is there in case UMTC gets in. Sioux-weet, I misunderstood what you meant by "first round," I wasn't sure if you meant Final Five "first round" or the 6 hosted play-offs that are the true "first round." Let me try to say this concisely as we are all on the same page. Once the home playoffs are completed, the seeds and brackets and times will be set and will not change.

I think the pre-set part means there isn't any flexibility.

No.

At first I didn't even SEE the tie possibility on the chart. That is crazy!

I don't see what's wrong with the topic. It's just hyopthetical. Is it disloyal to talk about trades for your favorite pro teams? No one is saying I WISH WE HAD TRADES BECAUSE I HATE ALL OUR PLAYERS!!! Well, Redwing is, but he doesn't count.

I think if you bring up GEICO, Goon gets offended.

I did say not because you hate them.

I didn't know I was supposed to ignore the sentence right above it where you said to assume salary caps and franchise tags! I would also ask: who on your team would you consider to be a tradeable player? Not because you hate them or think they are terrible, but because you think they would be worth something on the trade market. I would say Mike Seidel even though he's my favourite Bulldog, because he's stuck on the 3rd/4th line because of depth but has a great offensive upside and PP experience. I'd trade for a defenceman, maybe that Jensen kid from St. Cloud.

Er... aren't those guys franchise players too?

No disappointment here... yowza. Thank goodness it's hockey and not football. ::shudder::
