Wish I wouldn't have used up my +1 for the day already!

Reaching 70 points in a season, which hasn't happened since 2003 (Senja, who also won the Hobey), is a pretty strong argument for Miele. Hoping Matt wins, but if even before this inside information, I felt it was Miele's to lose. I'm sure Matt would be fine with the "consolation prize" of a national title on Saturday!

It says "No Re-Entry" on the tickets, and in the letter that was included. I know that between the Thursday games at Final Five, there was no re-entry also, but I had some friends who went through the smoking exit between games and got their tickets scanned for re-admittance. Not sure if it will work the same way for the Frozen Four, and not sure I'd try it myself.

I'll be there with my family in Club level. I needed 5 tickets to accommodate me, my wife and 3 kids, and didn't know how that was going to work out. We had put in for two groups of four in the lottery, and when we got our tickets, they were actually located in the same section with one group directly behind the others. I guess it's just meant to be this year! Other good Sioux fans will be sitting in my extra seats.

Kind of a dbag move to tweet about it at any time. This is the same guy that was tweeting before the regionals about how his team was gonna win 4 in a row. That didn't work out too well for him. I think Cam kind of likes himself a bit!

Panzer was robbed!

Couldn't disagree more.

N No alcohol as it is an NCAA event.

Wow, does this bring back memories!

WMU kept Denver off the scoreboard for 56 minutes. Bold prediction here, but I think we'll keep them off the scoreboard for 60. 4-0 Sioux! Frattin gets a goal for the 10th straight game to secure the Hobey. Genoway, Hextall, & Rodwell score too. St. Paul here we come!

Rodwell.

... therefore it should not be a goal!

I'm picking UNH to come out of Manchester as a #4 seed, and Union to come out of Bridgeport. No other upsets, which means we get our standard Frozen Four semifinal matchup with BC.

Was in St. Louis tonight on business and took in the Blues-Oilers game. Oshie was the first star and Porter was the second star in a 4-0 win. Also, Vande played for the Oilers. And yes, it would have worked out very well for me if the Sioux would have been placed in the West Regional this weekend!

If UND makes the title game, are you still going to claim that the Force are a better team than UND?

Stay out of the box! I posted this earlier a few weeks ago, but the Sioux have averaged over 25 penalty minutes per game in each of our 8 losses this season. In the games that were wins or ties, that average is 12 penalty minutes per game. If we can play disciplined enough to keep that number down around 10-12 or lower the next 4 games, I believe we hang #8! This could be difficult considering the non-conference refs we'll see the rest of the way. (Why do I have a feeling we'll be seeing Shegos in at least a couple games?)

That's my understanding as well. According to Brad, since he's 25, he's exempt from the entry-level restrictions, which may be a big reason he came back for his senior season.

I said it earlier this year that I wouldn't be suprised to see Union in the Frozen Four, as this year's verion of RIT (first time in the NCAAs and making the F4). Now, seeing the bracket they are in, I feel they have a very good shot. I'm not sold on Duluth right now, and I believe Union is a better team than Yale.

I sat by some Gopher fans this weekend, and they said the same thing. They were actually joking about finding another WCHA team to follow.

Same guy that started that thread has been trolling over on the Sioux Name forum too.

There's nothing stopping people from buying them for face, then turning around and selling them to somebody else for a profit. Not sure how they could take away somebody's priority status in this situation.

If UNO doesn't make the tournament, I think it's time for Blais to go.

Yes, apparently there are scenarios where UNO does not make the tournament.

I ran a scenario where UND loses on Friday and still gets the #1 seed overall. It has Yale losing twice and BC losing to Northeastern.
