Would be a tough ticket for sure! Gleason is a great player and is a UND recruit, but ... he plays for Edina ... can you really root for Edina? Rooting for Edina would be like rooting for -- the Gophers !?!?
-
I hear buzz in the TC that UND > UMTC among top recruits ... some former Gophers are not helping the cause either.
-
82/83... ouch. We had the Badgers at home in the league playoffs - we had the lead in the 3rd period of game 2 in the total goal series - we ended up losing in multi ot and ended up not going to the NCAA's. The Badgers ended up winning it all - in Grand Forks!!!
-
What was the attendance at the Pepsi Center last year for Sioux/Gophers regional final - if I remember attendance was pretty good.
-
Cut Clay Matvick some slack - he did play-by-play for the NCAA West regional last year, and he picked the Sioux to win it all. He's no Muzzsucko.
-
With the current CBA rule about "opting-out" of your draft rights if you stay 4 years, it is in the NHL team's best interest to get drafted players with any potential signed after their Jr. year. I wonder if Kozek is a flight risk after his great 2nd half.
-
Watch Woodbury's best player - I thing several WCHA teams are interested.
-
If they believed Genoway was "done" for the year, there would be no advantage to delay the announcement. The fact they are being so quiet about it makes me believe they think he can come back at some point and don't want to be specific about the injury, which would give the opposition a "target" if he does come back.
-
The best case scenario - we keep winning and Wisco loses enough in post-season to drop out. Then we could go to the closest regional and not worry about playing the host/conf team in game one. It is also a big sheet, which is an advantage for us, the way this year's team is made up.

Easy to say if you are not a Minn taxpayer.
-
How was this determined - 1 lap, goal line to goal line?
-
Schroeder and Ness are very good - however they are both small and young. One positive about the 08 Sioux class is that it is older/bigger. It will be good to get some more size, both up front and on the blueline. Hopefully, this season is the last that the Gophers are bigger/stronger than us.
-
If your looking for another team to root for besides the Sioux this weekend, it would be Northeastern. Their RPI is currently 24, and it would be good for us if they could stay a TUC (+25 RPI). They play BC this weekend - a split with top 10 team would move them up the RPI for sure.
-
Well said. I also think we should stop assuming to know what the coaches are telling the players - unless you heard it for yourself.
-
I hope this isn't coming from DL - who else would know what the coaches are telling him but the players themselves - or you are making it up. FYI - passing the puck to a forward is what a Dman is supposed to do. The WCHA is not the USHL, in case you haven't noticed. He does not have the quickness Genoway has (1st 3-5 steps) to break down WCHA forwards at this point. This is why Genoway was able to pitch in at forward. DL just needs to keep making good/fast decisions with the puck and he will be fine. Leave him alone.

Albany 16) Army vs. 1) UND 9) BC vs. 8) Michigan St Colorado Springs 14) UMD vs. 4) CC 12) UMTC vs. 5) Miami OH Madison 13) Wisconsin vs. 2) Michigan 10) St. Cloud St. vs. 7) Clarkson Worchester 15) Bemidji St vs. 3) New Hampshire 11) Minn St. vs. 6) Denver The only variation would be Mich in Worchester and UNH in Madison. This setup would be closer to the "true bracket' but I don't think it would make sense to have Mich and UNH criss-cross the country. The reason UND is in Albany is to protect the #1 overall seed. If Wisco falls out of the tournament, UND would go to Madison, if they stay #1 overall.
-
I'm too lazy to look back at other threads - who has the tie breaker if CC and UND finish tied in points?

+ 2 Friday, +1 Saturday http://www.pointstreak.com/stats/pro/games...l?gameid=580551 http://www.pointstreak.com/stats/pro/games...l?gameid=580556 I think he can play at that level ok.
-
A win at the F5 v CC and a NH loss to BC might flip the COP comparison - someone do the math.
-
I think they are talking about having training camp in GF/Duluth, not a series of games. We'll probably still get 1 exhib. game at REA, no more than that. If they wanted to stay in the TC they could use Ridder - it's an NHL size rink.

This from CHN: http://www.collegehockeynews.com/info/?d=pwcrpi Bad win tweak: A flaw of the RPI is that it has a tendency to decrease if a good team defeats a poor team. In order to compensate for this, if a team's victory in a conference tournament game would otherwise lower its RPI, that game is removed from the formula. This only applies to conference tournament games. (Modification, 2006: All games during the season where this effect occurs, will be eliminated from RPI consideration.)

No more bonus points - see below PWR Primer on CHNews. http://www.collegehockeynews.com/info/?d=pwcrpi That is why when you go to the PWR rankings on UCHO or CollegeHockeyNews, there is no place to include ypothetical bonus points, which used be there in previous years.
