That hurts the Gophers. He's one of their hardest workers and most consistent forward IMO.

If BC wins the HEA conference tourney to get the auto-bid, I think I might throw up.

Go Sioux!!!

Any update on an arena for this?

Story on Carter Rowney: http://ajhl.ca/news/2009/03/11/rowney-focu...n-team-success/

I would rather the Sioux stay as a #2 seed (or move up to a 1 seed) than drop to #13.

Wow, at 42yo too! Hope the old man can do ok with all the young guns.

Nice! Congrats to those players!

I like their First Two Teams out. That would be nice.

Oops, sorry, I posted that over on the other thread too. Didn't check this thread first. Yes, how will WCH spin this? And what are his thoughts on his pre-season prediction of Duncan not even getting 10 goals the entire year because Oshie and Toews were gone?

Not sure if this was posted elsewhere...but, can't say that I'm surprised after how he played in ND a few weeks ago: http://www.areavoices.com/undhockey/?blog=45140

Much like Eaves' scholarship offers litter the street up and down State Street in Madison.

Yes..."vendors".

Eaves hands out scholarship offers like those vendors hand out smut flyers in Vegas.

If we play BU again, hopefully it just wouldn't be a repeat of the 5-1 thrashing that they put on us in the 1st game of the season. Granted, UND has gotten alot better since then...but maybe they have too!

Jason Blake sat out the 95/96 season for his transfer from Ferris St. He did play on the 96/97 National Champ Sioux team and had a 19-32-51 scoring line. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=26530

This is way too much bouncy ball talk on a hockey forum.

Providence I'll give you, but I think OSU and Miami have decent teams this year. Both of them are inconsistent, but they've still managed to get some good wins and both could make it into the tourney if things go their way.

I'd throw DU into that list as well, especially if they get Bozak back for the F5 and beyond. I think UND has the talent and the experience to win it this year. But like has been mentioned, it depends alot on who they draw in the regionals. You've got to beat good teams to advance to the F4 regardless...kind of like the year the Sioux had to beat BC and BU...in Boston...in order to advance, but if they have to face BU, UM, ND, or DU in the regional, that would be tough. Odds are that one of those teams will be the #1 seed in UND's bracket though (unless the Sioux can win their way into a #1...).

Duncan

MTU didn't have a chance last weekend against UMN either, did they?

I thought I heard that the earliest he was expected back was the F5.

Wow, so if the Gophers win out and take the F5...possibly the best they could do is take 12th? They better not falter (and hope that no one behind them wins out or wins their tourney), otherwise they'll be on the outside looking in. Go Sioux! I want to take over the Mariucci regional with a sea of green.

She must have one of the two mixed up... Unless their coach pairs up a dman with a forward for each shift.
