I'm in.

Count me happy that nonconference games no longer have the extra 3x3 and shootouts. Those never made any sense.

If there's going to be a Frozen Four in Las Vegas, I can think of a school with good connections to Vegas hoteliers to host the Tournament.

Shows how much a successful football program can add to the athletics bottom line.

Not disagreeing with your opinion of Bruce Arena, but he inherited a dumpster fire after USA lost the first two games of the Hex.

"Mexico hold an insurmountable 1-0 lead with only 55 minutes left to play."

Golfing with the Red Wings fans.

Nice behind the back pass from Hoff. Sweet.

So it was a really SMALL injury.

Friday attendance at conference tournaments: 4. Atlantic Hockey (Rochester, NY): 587. 3. ECAC (Lake Placid): 5,390. 2. Hockey East (Boston): 10,871. 1. NCHC (St Paul): 11,983.

Audio is awful on my end; its that awful UMD homer.

Based on game times, if we are playing Saturday night (knock on wood), we will have an idea of whether we "NEED" to win, or whether its nice to have. Not that it affects game play, but us fans might be less hyper. I still recall being stared at during the 2000 WCHA Final Five, when they announced Michigan lost, and I was jumping and hollering.

I think it would be fine to have the 8 highest ranked teams host a first round home game. First round winners (higher seed) hosts in the second round as well.

Yet another reason for NDSU to start women's hockey.

+1 for working a Doctor Who reference into the Bracketology thread.

... but not for 4 weeks, please.

I was thinking the same thing. He has the talent to play as well as Schmaltz.

Feeling bipolar: Yay! We're ahead 2-0. Oh crap: We're ahead 2-0.

I would love to have a rematch with St Cloud a week from Friday, in St Paul. The playoffs are a great chance for these guys to forget the season full of frustrations.

I think Yon should have laid on the ice until the referees decide what the penalty on Borgen was.

Seems like once a game, we give a freebie goal to our opponents or the referees give a questionable call against us. Tonight is the opposite of last weekend ... Zero -zero after one but we look better than even tonight.

Wolanski!!!

Yeah but our camera guys are way better.

Count me happy Canada is losing (and losing it) ... after a couple more Winter Games where the Russians beat the Germans in the final, the pressure on the NHL to change its mind will build.
