Nice who are WMU and CC bringing in to be at #2 and #5?

WMU's soph dman Samuelsson signed with the Sabres. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2020/03/25_WMUs-Samuelsson-Turns-Pro.php

Congrats to Gooch and Pinto! Smith got robbed.

Cornell played a grand total of 3 games all season against teams that made the NCAA tourney, and never on back to back nights. Michigan turned it on in the 2nd half, and were 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. They played 12 games during the season against teams in the NCAA tourney. IMO, Cornell was the definition of a team not battle tested against quality opponents. Any team they faced in the NCAA would have been one of the best, if not the best, team that they'd faced all season. That doesn't bode well for them rattling off multiple wins. I'd take Michigan in that 1st round matchup.

My guess is that Michigan would have gotten past Cornell in the first round.

Those Corona death numbers are for the world. The drug overdose and alcohol related deaths were just for the US. I wonder if the hospitals would be as overwhelmed if the media hadn't blown this up? We'll never know.

If those were the actual brackets, my guess would be: UND, Mankato, BC, and Denver to advance.

I've lived in both. Meh.

That's correct! It's all adding up.

Those deaths per day will have to start increasing very quickly if that’s happening. Over 3k/day instead of the actual ~300 in the past month.

That's ok, I'd grade the experts that project over 2mil US deaths a worse grade than that.

Only a few more until we hit the projected 1.1-2.2 million US deaths. Once we start hitting 4k deaths per day, we'll be right on target.

I wonder if he's a grad transfer that can play next season or if he has to sit a year? Man, going from the Kohl Center to a HS rink.

UW dumpster fire continues. Junior forward Sean Dhooghe has entered the NCAA transfer portal. He's a super small (5'3") but fun player to watch. C'mon Berry, bring home another transfer portal player to help for next season!

We were just talking about this at work yesterday. We thought the same thing. In late January something went around the shop that took each of us out for a couple days. One of the guys couldn't stop coughing. Another one had difficulty breathing and had to go to urgent care. We're convinced that like 4-5 of us have already had corona and recovered from it.

Sounds like Perunovich from Duluth close to signing. And Caufield from UW leaning towards staying another year.

Duncan goal from his spot. That never gets old.

This video has all the UND goals from that regional, including the first round game against Princeton.

I was there as well. Also getting trash talked by many UW fans when we were down 2-0 in the 3rd. Can still hear that Duncan pipe shot goal that tied it after the beauty of a pass from Oshie...that pipe rang loud and then in. High fived and hugged so many random UND fans while walking the concourse after that game.

I agree about putting a plaque or something like that in the lobby or in the concourse instead of a banner from the rafters. The plaque could briefly talk about how great this team was in the history of UND teams, and how they (and every other NCAA hockey team) was robbed of the chance to go for the national title.

Returning a very strong goaltending duo plus the Hobey Baker winner is a good start.

K'Andre Miller from UW is now gone as well. He was a soph.

There’s always next season for that.

Current UND fans will remember, yes. But what about new fans or young fans or future students?
