I've run a bunch of scenarios, and I believe if we don't win the Broadmoor, we're all but guaranteed to end up in Grand Rapids with Minnesota. If we don't win 3 games this weekend, we'll probably end up as a low 2 seed, and with Minnesota guaranteed to be #2 in the PWR, that's the region we'll be sent to. Winning the Broadmoor would move us up to a high 2 seed or possibly a low 1 seed and avoid the Grand Rapids regional.

Here's Moy's bracket for this week:
This week’s brackets
Grand Rapids
14 Western Michigan vs. 2 Minnesota
9 Notre Dame vs. 7 North Dakota
Toledo
13 Denver vs. 3 Miami
12 St. Cloud State vs. 5 Yale
Manchester
15 Union vs. 4 Boston College
10 Minnesota State vs. 8 New Hampshire
Providence
16 Wisconsin vs. 1 Quinnipiac
11 Niagara vs. 6 Massachusetts-Lowell
-
They are the sexy pick right now, and I believe they would get Quinnipiac, the locked in number 1 seed, correct?
No, as the host of the Grand Rapids regional, they would be placed there. Quinnipiac should get placed in Providence, the closest regional to their school.

No he's not. I realize technically it's called the twin cities campus. Nevermind you guys simply don't understand and I wont argue with stupid.
Did you just call me stupid?
-
Wrong. Its the University of Minnesota, nice try though. It represents the entire state. The University of Alabama doesn't just represent Tuscaloosa. UW doesn't just represent Madison.
Snake is actually right.

Just realized that the CCHA championship game isn't until Sunday afternoon, and the selection show won't be until 8:00 pm central on Sunday night.

New Hampshire knocked out in Hockey East first round by Providence. Looks like they will get some extra rest before hosting their Regional.

Just got an email from UND. As a season ticket holder, we're being given access to purchase tickets now to the NCHC tournament. Seat locations will be prioritized based on when you purchase the tickets. Just bought my four. Hopefully I'm one of the earliest and will get good seats.

Can't believe this hasn't been posted on here yet.
Press release from the NCHC:
Minneapolis, MN (Tuesday, March 5, 2013) -- The National Collegiate Hockey Conference is aggressively taking several major steps as its inaugural season grows ever closer.
As the State of Hockey gets set to crown Minnesota's champions in boys' high school hockey, the NCHC and its member schools will be in Minneapolis on March 7 for a Hat Trick of announcements:
- Unveil the Conference logo, which will act as the NCHC's visual stamp for years to come.
- Reveal details about its first-ever NCHC post-season tournament, which will be played at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis.
- Introduce the launch of the new Conference website.
Meanwhile, in neighboring St. Paul, the NCHC will have a booth at the Let's Play Hockey Expo in downtown St. Paul, just steps away from where the Class AA and A boys' tournaments are unfolding. This presence will give thousands of hockey fans the opportunity to get to know the NCHC and understand why the NCHC will arguably be the strongest college hockey conference in America.
I'll be sure to stop by their booth at the hockey expo and ask them how I convert my center-ice lower-level tickets at the Final Five into priority seating at the NCHC conference tournament, like the Big Ten is offering.

Usually FSN does a pretty good job of being non-homerish on calls and missed calls. They usually say it like it is, so if it wasn't worth mentioning it probably wasn't questionable. Maybe Goon DVR'd the game? If he did we can get video of it.
Wally and Frank on the radio, however, is a different story
I wonder if Common Man accepts quotes from college hockey fan forums for his Preposterous Statement Tournament.

I will say this, it seems like some people on this board believe that winning the final five is more important than winning a nat title. I would trade a nat title for any of the last three FF championships.
Agree. I would settle for a first-round exit in the WCHA tournament if it meant being in better position to win 4 in a row in the NCAAs.

You realize that the #2 ranked Gophers have three sweeps all year too, right? Two of those were before the snow fell and the third was in January against Alaska-Anchorage!
All against pretty bad teams too.

Not sure how he has Providence as the conference leader right now. UMass-Lowell wins the head to head matchup with them.
There's a 4-way tie for first in Hockey East:
Hockey East: Providence, based upon the first tiebreaker using percentage of head-to-head play: Providence (2-1-2) .600, Boston College (3-2-2) .570, New Hampshire (4-3-2) .550, Massachusetts-Lowell (2-5-0) .280 -
No thanks on that one. Region of death.
So much for bracket integrity with those predictions, with a potential regional final of #2 Minnesota and #5 North Dakota. But I wouldn't doubt that the NCAA may try to stick us in the same regional.

Miami's freshman goalie Ryan McKay is putting up ridiculous numbers this season. He's split time so has only played 15 games, but his GAA is currently at 1.05 and his SV% is at .962 with 3 shutouts. Can't believe the other goalie is still getting any starts.
-
I have 4 tickets in Section 107 Row H for Friday night's game vs. Bemidji. If anybody has 4 good lower level seats for Saturday's game they'd be interesting in trading, please PM me or email fargosioux@cableone.net.

I agree with this. At least a full NCHC schedule provides four games each year against Dever and CC, and those two schools are the most appealing NCHC schools, to me anyways, outside of UND. I know all about Lucia's blockage of the Gopher series, but I assumed that with the Big Ten only having 6 teams there would be a good chance that there would be at least one Big Ten school on the schedule every year. Even a crappy school like Ohio St. or Penn St. would be more intriguing to the casual observer like me than most WCHA schools. Even though most WCHA schools probably would benefit UND more in the Pairwise and such.
Is the BU game a return trip for an earlier game, or the start of a new contract?
I would assume it's a return trip for the series with them in Grand Forks this season.

1.1 million.
For the record, the title game of the Frozen Four gets numbers of anywhere from 1.3 million to 2+ million. I find that interesting considering I've heard several Bison football fans make the claim that FCS Football is bigger than D1 Hockey.
-
Can't have three teams from the same conference in the same regional.
Didn't they put UND, Denver, and Wisconsin in the same regional in Madison a few years back?
-
Not sure where else to post this. I'm stuck in Grand Forks today with my son. Does anybody know what time the Sioux hockey team practices, and is it possible to sneak in and watch them?

I know what you are saying, but even if UND and New Hampshire end up in the #8 & #9 spots, I would bet money the committee ends up moving us to Grand Rapids while moving somebody else to Manchester with New Hampshire. If you look at Moy's bracketology today, he did the same thing with Notre Dame.
