Your team was #1 in the polls all year, and went on to get outplayed in both Frozen Four games (lucky to sneak out one win). It's actually pretty sad that UMTC fans have to take comfort in this victory as much as they are. It's really kind of pathetic.

Fixed your post.

Surprised there's been no mention of the World Junior tournament. Two UMTC players, plus the head coach? No doubt they were still exhausted.

I second that! That post was classic!

gfhockey is the Carl Gerbschmidt of siouxsports.com.

Gopher fans complaining of an unfair advantage based on recruiting/rosters of an ECAC team. My how the times have changed!

I went from #2 last year to #276 this year (third from last place). I think I need a complete overhaul of the entire organization. In my defense, however, I was pretty tired from the World Junior tournament.

I learned something new on Union's hockey website. Their "Did You Know" blurb states that Union, BC, and Minnesota are the only teams to make the NCAA tournament in each of the last four years. I guess making it 12 years in a row doesn't qualify you for that statistic: http://www.unionathletics.com/index.aspx?path=mhockey

Some yet-to-be-identified sports bar in Mexico.

I think they'll give the night game to the eastern teams regardless. If BC wins today, I think it's a given. ESPN thinks college hockey revolves around BC.

Does anybody know the last year UMTC went on a 2-game losing streak into the NCAA tournament?

In 2012, there was actually a chance we'd miss the NCAA tournament heading into the Final Five. We came out of the weekend with a #1 seed. The pairwise can be pretty volatile this time of year.

Notre Dame with a 7-2 win over BC in the Hockey East playoffs. That team is loaded with upperclassmen and could be hard to beat in the NCAAs this year.

Somebody should start a Preposterous Statement Tournament on this site, like the Common Man. I would nominate this statement. (Followed by the guy who said Danny Kristo would spend most of the season in the ECHL this year.)

This ticket is no longer available.

Looks like I may end up with an extra ticket for the NCHC tournament at Target Center. If anybody is in need of an extra ticket, let me know. Seats are at dead center ice, about 20 rows up. You will be sitting next to good Sioux fans.

Corban with some positive comments from the announcers after the game. Won 65% of his takeoffs with quality ice time.

I've actually been thinking the same thing Siouxman.

Kalen DeBoer was hired as Offensive Coordinator at Eastern Michigan.

I'm also going with a couple friends. I have an extra ticket if anybody is looking for one.

Tickets are sold.

Section 107 Row H. Price is $40/ticket. PM me or email fargosioux@cableone.net if interested. Exchange can be made in FM area.

Very good, in-depth article about the selection process: http://espn.go.com/olympics/hockey/story/_/id/10195703/how-us-hockey-team-bound-sochi-olympics-was-named It sounds like Oshie was the final selection at forward.

Panzer was robbed!

Tickets have been sold for both nights.
