Does it even get cold enough in Omaha to host an outdoor game? That's pretty far south if you ask me. Average high is 38 it looks like in February

I thought I read somewhere that the parents said that no where on the entry slip did it say that the person who's name was called was the one that had necessarily to take the shot. Lots of gray area.

Did anyone happen to go to this game? Crazy dilemma that happend between periods it looked like. ESPN

Wonder if Matt Read is 25 and these rules don't apply?

To the boldest part: Wouldn't everyone want what Blais did as compared to Hakstol? Getting there is half the battle now. Back then it only took 1 game to get to the Frozen 4. I feel the more times you do something in life, the more comfortable you get in those situations. And even when you get comfortable, it's still a crap shoot like we saw this year. Hak not getting it done, BC giving up 8 to CC, and UMD wining the title. I'm not disagreeing that winning a title or two every 10 years would be nice as opposed to just participating in the Frozen 4. Reality is, college hockey has changed a lot in the last 10 years. And I'm pretty sure the loss to Michigan was hard for everyone to swallow. I was just saying that we played pretty darn well and lost due to a hot goaltender and a bounce off the post. There have been plenty of worse losses in the Frozen 4 recently that I'd care to forget instead of this one.

Mike Connolly from Duluth has gone pro to San Jose. According to the Duluth radio guy, he got "max deal". What is the max deal for a rookie in the NHL vs. AHL?

Not that it means anything, but in 10 years Blais only got us to the Frozen 4 three times(winning 2), and Hakstol has gotten us there 5 out of 7. He's gotta get them over that big hump eventually. Getting there so frequently will only help IMO. I wasn't even completely disheartened about the loss. We lost a game that we controlled for about 50 minutes or so. I felt a lot worse after the BC games. At least we controlled this one. This one was eerily reminder to the regional game we lost in Denver in 2001 or so.

Hankinson, Koalska? Legends? Come on....Those guys aren't even in the same breath as some of those on that list.

I just hope you see the hypocrisy in your posts about Lessard and Kristo.

You can also use this website:Craiglook You can search a specific area on craigslist or the entire country for Frozen 4 tickets without having to know the specific city they are posted in. It pulls all the results to 1 page for simplicity. That's where I found a lot for sale. I searched either "Frozen 4" or "Frozen Four". Hope that helps.

I believe ScottM(?) on here did that for us Siouxsports people when we were in St. Louis. The result that day was not good.

With Duluth dropping to a #3 seed after losing to Bemidji St., they don't get to ever match up their top line with who they want. To me, that's a big deal for a team that relies so heavily on their top line for scoring. I picked them to get out of their region, only because of the teams they would have to beat is favorable to them.

I know a lot of people are staying at the Days Inn-Lambeau Field because of the proximity to everything, but I chose to stay at the Clarion. It's a couple miles away, but when I booked on Sunday, the Days Inn was $40 more per night.

Unreal. A slippery slope just got more slippery. (That's either bad grammar or a tongue-twister)

I'll be there with the wife and the first Sioux recruit in 2029, as long as he doesn't have my skating genes. He's due in July.

I would answer your question, but I can't understand it. You are typing like Goon or GFHockey.

Do you know the costs associated with this bus?

I'm still not convinced that BC is going to get out of that West regional. Having played CC last weekend, we all know how good CC's top line is and how good their goaltender is. Anything can happen in a one-and-done. Assuming they get through that game, they get to play Omaha or Michigan. Ouch. If they make it through that regional, they will have deservedly earned it.

I was thinking the same thing. They said the tickets come from Green Bay via UPS, if it can't get to MPLS or Duluth by Friday, UPS is in trouble.

I got 5th row, center ice tickets buying them online through the reschcenter.com website.

I'll be there with my wife. Making the 5 hour drive from Duluth. Anyone else going or thinking about making the trek? It's only about 5 hours from MPLS

As long as Miami beats Western Michigan tonight, they should be the #4 overall seed. They would get sent out east and UND and BC would host the western regional I believe.

As far as I can tell, as long as Miami wins, they will be the last #1 seed. Doesn't matter what BC and Merrimack do tonight. Even if Merrimack beats BC, I still have Miami ahead of them based on RPI.

What was Nelson doing on that play anyway? There was no point for him to cross-check the guy in the first place. Use the body! We were on the PP for gosh sakes. Watching it live, I felt it was a 5 minute major. Having seen the replay over and over and how fast the CC guy popped back up, I would have given Nelson a 2 minute minor. I would have argued the call about as much as Hakstol did.

I keep hearing about all the TV timeouts and how we don't need to roll 4 lines. What's the TV timeout situation in the regionals/frozen four? Is it any different than what the league does? I say roll 4 lines. We're going to be a #1 seed, so we can match-up wherever we need to on the ice if we have to. We've been doing that all year, why change now?
