I always wanted an example of being a smart ass and sarcasm in one paragraph
You're welcome.

They only played one game last weekend, that's how.
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.
-
* Well rested UMD proves a tough matchup for BC, just like CC was last year.
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?
-
Any chance Doug Flutie gets mentioned tonight during the BC vs. ND game?
Without a doubt and if he's there expect the camera to find him early and often.

You can be that dense. The WCHA finished the year like 1-10 in strenght of schedule. From top to bottom it was the toughest league in college hockey.
There is a reason our league has won 5 years in a row and 6 out of 7 NCAA titles.
Awesome. Let's just dispense with the NCAA's and award the title to the winner of the Final Five.
-
If I don't I am sure some WCHA fan would be happy to fill you in on how are league's sos was 1-10 all WCHA teams this last season.
Sure. Tell the WCHA fan to fill me in.
-
I would put MSU-M against NE anytime.
Here we go. Even the WCHA's bottom feeders are better than HEA's. Pardon me if I don't take the bait.
-
We our Canadians & they
us too We have less peoples (In the whole State) than one suberb of Bean town & guess what - most of us like it that way
I wasn't knocking Canadians. BC has a few.
-
You obviously didn't get to watch some of the Sioux lineup in WJC action. Cheers
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.

I think most of us got the jist of what he was saying. UND had to go through Just in the playoffs MSU-M (sweep) SCSU (win), Minnesota (Loss), Michigan (win) and Minnesota again (win). The fact that UND had a tough road should be signifigant. I don't think beating SLU and Miami is as impressive or as tough. Throw in a two game sweep of North Eastern who is a bottom feeder in HE.
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?
-
We all saw what happened when Schneider had to play against better talent at the world juniors as well. I am sure he is a decent goalie but he is not nor will he ever be an Elliot or Miller.
UND ain't the world juniors.
-
Your memory is either very poor or very selective. Remember this?
I remember going into that game that BC had the advantage in goal because of the undefeated Schneider. His record proved irrelevant.
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.
-
So, what are you trying to prove on this board? If BC wins I'm sure you'll go on a posting barrage. If BC loses, I doubt I'll ever see your screenname on here again.
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.

I think the issue is that Cory has been the Media darling for three years now and Lammy hasn't had the luxuary of the same coverage.
Also, I think a lot of us have seen Cory play during the WJC for the two years that he was on Team USA and I like many other people were not all that impressed with his play and I am also not convinced he was the best USA goalie in his age group at that time. Lets just say he has had all the right breaks. The fact that the Hockey East although a great conference isn't as tough as the WCHA, anyoine that thinks other wise is brain dead, the WCHA has won the NCAA title 5 years in a row.
I am not saying HE teams won't win the NCAA, I have a lot of respect for BU, B.C. and Maine but they don't have to play in our leage week to week. That's the problem with NCAA hockey there isn't enough out of league match ups. I would be willing to bet his number wouldn't be eye popping if he played against our teams.
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.
-
So which Ramone do you sound like.
None of them but I look like Tony Soprano.
-
Did you guys play Maine early in the yr, or later in the yr ?
BC beat Maine at Maine in November and then swept them at home in February to kick off their current winning streak.
-
Give me Vegas odds on that and Lou, I'll buy you the Kool-Aid stand with my winnings!
Remember I said if.
And Goon, don't you do sarcasm?
-
you should..it's more fun
It is for about a week. Then it's damned annoying.
-
the accent didn't translate....it's chowdah!! say it!!! say it!!!chowdah!!
I'm from New York. We don't talk like that.
-
Yes, but we went into both those games hearing about the greatness of Schneider. Perhaps tonight he will impress this Sioux fan. He hasn't done it yet.
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.
-
Then we are in agreement. Bringing up Vermont and UMass is just as relevant as you bringing up UW and MTU.
Which is just as relevant as the original poster bringing up Minnesota. Are we clear now?
-
I guess tonight we will see!
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.
-
eastern bias along with arrogance and entitlement
It isn't arrogance. We're just better than you. In time you'll learn to live with it.
-
So then bringing up Vermont and UMass (regular season record) is fair game provided I say that it is irrelevant towards tonight's game?
Go right ahead. I think it's irrelevant whether you say so or not.

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