Well, yeah, except for Lee and Finley. And Lamoreaux. And Porter.

I still like that Manchester bracket... there's noone there who the Sioux can't put a whupping on. Maine is not even close to the team that swept in Grand Forks in October and MSU and NH haven't shown me anything special. It does su** that the Frozen Four can't be another all-WCHA lovefest through.

Didn't Gordon Lightfoot or someone write a song to this effect? I'm sure you have it on 8-track PCM.

I think you meant indulging. But no, I am perfectly aware some UND hockey fans have an adult beverage (or some other substance ) before the game. I just didn't want Goon to have to sit in The Ralph all afternoon by himself. That's all.

ummmmmmm...Goon, I don't know how to tell you this pal, but the game's Saturday evening

Junior Lessard anyone? Last I heard he was with the Iowa Stars.

Not I sprig, but don't the bids to date seem ridiculously low? I'm almost tempted.

Hey.... shallow is what we do here!

This may very well be the most honest and profound post I've read here for a very, very long time. Frankly wish I'd strung these words together.

Looks like I'm going to have to go along with Goon here: I see Wisconsin and Tech pulling "upsets"; top three seeds win easily. It would be nice to see Tech at the X this year instead of just their band.

Is your name Carthart?

I really think a #1 is out of reach. All the people we'd beat to win the Final Five who are above us in the Pairwise we've already pretty much cleaned up on this year. What we'd need is to have some flukey stuff happen out east, I think. We'd need two comparisons with New Hampshire flipped; and I'm too tired and way too old to try to figure that out tonight.

You are correct! Jay? What's Diggler going to take home today?

Lucia's post-game on the tube: he's NOT happy. "We WILL be working hard THIS week." Can you imagine the pressure he'd be under if the Gophers mailed it in again this March?

Tech still up 5-3, 4:00 remaining

Nice. Obscure for sure.

I remember watching Grand Rapids win back-to-back in '75 and '76 at The Met! They had quite a run: 2nd in '72; 3rd in '74; 3rd in '77; and 2nd in '78.

Kind of OT, but Roseau beat Moorhead 1-0 for the Section 8 title!

I just realized this is the third-place game. Someone should've told the team they didn't need to work so hard.

Keep working... need to get that all-important eight-goal lead! Scores out east: U-Mass 3 Maine 2 late in 3rd Boston College 4 New Hampshire 1 middle of 3rd

Keep it up boys. Time to get that all-important 7-goal lead! Where's the dude who started the "why can't the other guys score" thread?

Meyers also told TH that he (Hennesey) covers the "best team in the WCHA" right now.

I've yet to decide which defensive pairing looks weirder: 5'8" Robbie Bina with 5'9" Chay Genoway OR 5'8" Robbie Bina with 6'7" Joe Finley.

That's a little harsh. Seriously.

^ that sent a tingle up my spine
