BCLou

When I looked at the records it all made sense. UMD has played only 39 games. BC has played 40.

You're welcome.

So despite playing in the late game the previous night against a tough opponent they'll be well rested because they played one game the week before? Makes perfect sense. I'm glad I asked.

UMD has to fly to the regional. For BC it's a 45-minute bus ride. UMD plays the late game on Friday. Assuming they beat Maine how do you figure they'll be well rested?

Without a doubt and if he's there expect the camera to find him early and often.

Awesome. Let's just dispense with the NCAA's and award the title to the winner of the Final Five.

Sure. Tell the WCHA fan to fill me in.

Here we go. Even the WCHA's bottom feeders are better than HEA's. Pardon me if I don't take the bait.

I wasn't knocking Canadians. BC has a few.

No I didn't but tell you what. Let's just divide the Sioux up and they could probably stock both the US and Canadian teams without missing a beat.

NU is no more of a bottom feeder than MSU-M and as long as we're throwing things in it's worth mentioning that 6 of BC's 12 consecutive wins are against teams that actually made it to the NCAA including 2 over Maine. At this stage in the tournament is there any reason to think any of the 4 remaining teams can't win?

UND ain't the world juniors.

My memory is quite good. It was a surprise to almost everyone when York picked Schneider to play against UND. He had lost confidence in Matti because of his erratic play. That's a fact.

Maybe you'd go on a "posting barrage" but I won't. I'll be here tomorrow and if the Sioux win I'll tip my cap to them. You won't hear me making excuses.

If Lammy (or anyone else) were a first-round NHL draft pick he'd be getting his share of coverage and please don't claim eastern bias. Vanek and Kessel were unarguably media darlings. I don't know what you mean by having "all the right breaks". Schneider has worked incredibly hard to get where he is. I'm not getting into that tired HEA vs. WCHA peeing contest. Suffice it to say that I think it's cyclical.

None of them but I look like Tony Soprano.

BC beat Maine at Maine in November and then swept them at home in February to kick off their current winning streak.

Remember I said if. And Goon, don't you do sarcasm?

It is for about a week. Then it's damned annoying.

I'm from New York. We don't talk like that.

You didn't hear about his greatness 2 years ago. He was a freshman thrown in because York had lost confidence in Matti Kaltiainen. If he's as unimpressive as he was last year vs. UND and BC gets the win I'll find a way to live with that.

Which is just as relevant as the original poster bringing up Minnesota. Are we clear now?

I wasn't talking about the game. I was talking about life. And in case my eastern humor didn't come across...that was a joke.

It isn't arrogance. We're just better than you. In time you'll learn to live with it.

Go right ahead. I think it's irrelevant whether you say so or not.
