The Whistler

Really?! I missed out on this whole fireworks thing with PCM and that.....

What's the chance anyone would miss me, let alone realize I wasn't posting?

On vacation once (two years ago) I ran into a bunch of Miami students on a fishing boat. They were bragging up their hockey record. I told them I thought we'd played them in the opening weekend but didn't remember how it turned out. "Yeah, you guys won."

Think they'll figure out how to stuff 6 WCHA teams into one 4 team regional?

Dub was awesome that year. I believe he tied Hrkac for shorthanded goals that year. I think the first break-a-way goal by Hrkac was the shortie I remember. Great video. And the Gopher Cheerleader B****** got showered with pop and ice when they carried that "America's Team" banner around. Not by me of course. I didn't have any so I wasn't tempted.

So if we're ranked ahead of Denver we wind up playing CC in the regional and if we are ranked behind them we're playing CC in the regional. That's the one team I don't want to go through to get to the Frozen Four. I hope it doesn't work out that way.

Who?

I'm respecting him more all the time.

I don't know if they'll draw from GF, but there are plenty of hockey fans in Fargo I guess. Still if I lived there I'd likely remain a Sioux fan and rarely go to Force games because I don't have the time. But then that's just me.

Sounds like English to me.

That would explain a lot.

Well I will say that he's due to have a bad weekend against the Sioux.

I would hope that when they got out they did one of those Mary Lou Retton Ta Da's!

Double Secret Suspension.

Win one for the flipper. First! Um I mean two for the flipper.

Darby's chin and Marnie's nose....

I think you can take him.

Maybe the problem is that no one's ever told Frank that he sucks. Maybe if one of us sat down with him and had a man to man talk he would work on his deficiencies and improve. Obviously I lack the tact and discretion to pull it off. I therefore nominate Goon.

The only thing that would bother me with that is that we aren't used to advancing to the Frozen Four with a cake walk regional. I'm afraid that would be kinda embarrassing for the team.

Does the Carmen cross-checking of TJ Oshie not count as well? These guys are definitely making themselves look bad at least to people with open minds.

To be honest I don't really understand the RPI. I guess strength of schedule is factored in there so perhaps we could catch them. Right now they have a pretty commanding RPI lead.

If you look at the pairwise you'll see a individual comparison grid choice. Click on that and click on the comparisons. What you'll see is that we are under 3-2 compared to New Hampshire. One more victory against a TUC or one more loss by them against a TUC we win that comparison and the overall by the same margin. I don't see us catching the other teams in the pairwise.
