Not sure who to root for in this game. Either root for the fellow WCHA member, or not. I really don't like DU. I would much rather see UMD leave this regional.

Almost, but not quite. Air Force has been really close the past two seasons in knocking off both UMN and Miami (OT) in the first round. They haven't gone down lightly in either game. This shouldn't come as a huge surprise to the people that saw them play the last two seasons. That said, I love seeing a #1 seed like Michigan fall in the 1st round. Go Air Force...would like to see them in the F4 over Vermont/Yale.

They're all on TV. ESPN2, ESPNU, and ESPN Classic are televising all the regional games...

Wow, that's news to me. Hopefully he's healed up enough to play well this weekend!

I remember that one too. Very similar. Oshie was a really fun player to watch at UND. Seems he didn't lose that trait with the Blues.

Looks like CC's Bachman might be going pro now too: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...fs.3ee9ec3.html Would be a big blow for the Tigers for next season. They already lost Brian Connelly, a jr dman, a few days ago.

I hadn't realized that the 97 flood wasn't the highest in Fargo, it was from the 1800's. That's crazy. Good luck to all Fargo and GF residents. I had the flood cam active at work all day... http://www.grandforksherald.com/pages/floodcam

I don't think there are many auto-wins in the tourney anymore. The last few years have produced some really good games between 1 seeds and 4 seeds. Heck, last year ND made it to the title game as a 4 seed!

From the Sioux blog: If Watkins is skating in practice, hopefully he can give it a go against UNH.

Hilarious. Excessive use of punctuation is never a good idea.

Time to forfeit!

Matvick did a nice job calling this goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uZBMaaAzhE

I was at Tom Reid's between games on both Friday and Saturday as well. Good wings and burgers. Decently priced stuff on their events menu.

Duluth came close in 1984, losing to Bowling Green 5-4 in OT in the title game, but haven't won one yet. http://www.augenblick.org/chha/ncaa_chm.html

What's WHCA hockey? I bet UND, DU, and CC would take issue with that statement. DU has more titles than all MN schools combined as well.

UMD doesn't have any either. Are they talking just DI men's hockey? If so, then UND has more Titles than all MN schools combined. If they are talking about women's and DII/DIII titles as well, then it gets trickier.

I don't! I hope UND gets by UNH and then OSU shocks BU, setting up a battle between the Sioux and former Sioux player Hunter Bishop in the regional final.

Sucks I couldn't make it, especially with how the turnout ended up. I wonder if next year we could get the GPL folks to join in again as well. The last few years when we skated against them there were always plenty of skaters.

How was the journey from AK to MN?

From Brad's blog:

Our left, or their left?

Something makes me think this too. With how horrible our PP has looked the last few weeks, I find it hard to believe that Hakstol and Co. wouldn't work on it more or alter it somehow. It seems like they are just trying the same thing over and over, and it's not working. --The points pass it back and forth a couple times...then they switch...pass it to the circle, back to point, pass it back and forth a couple times...shot...off the opposition's shinpads...out of the zone. Rinse and repeat. I know these guys are capable of better. Maybe we'll see something different against UNH on Saturday.

Oh, great. No more SHG!!

Harrington slashed him with his goalie stick and told him that he needs to score more goals. I believe that Hextall has been playing injured for a couple weekends now. Hopefully he and Watkins are healed up enough to play this weekend!
