Your not gonna make the trip up to Worcester?

It will not.

Channel 668 on Directv.

Called and talked to Cory Johnson. Very nice guy. He also said he's received alot of calls. I told him that we are very passionate about our team, and that they would probably continue to get calls until some kind of announcement is made.

Is there even a broadband provider in the Fargo-Moorhead area that has an agreement with ESPN 360? I'm not seeing it. If this is the case, I'm guessing there will be no options to see the game live at a bar anywhere in town? Is our only hope that one of the local cable companies or stations picks up the ESPN Syndication? This is frustrating!

The last time we played Yale: Some kid named Parise scoring his third goal of the night Sweep!

If I remember correctly, didn't they initially list some of last year's first round games (including UND vs. UNH) on espn360.com, but ended up airing it live on another ESPN channel (ESPN2 or maybe an alternate channel)? I find it hard to believe that ESPN won't find a way to do a live broadcast of the regional that Boston College is playing in.

If anybody is interested in another Pick 'Em contest, PM me with your email address and I'll send you some information. I've run a pretty successful pool for the past few years, but wouldn't mind growing it a bit.

Jayson Moy did his final projection on USCHO and he swapped out New Hampshire & Michigan. USCHO Final Bracketology

I'd like somebody on the committee to look at the number of Sioux fans in attendance at the Final Five, then do the math as to how much more revenue they could gain by having that many extra fans in St. Paul. Won't happen, I know, but I wish there was some way they could justify sending us back to the X!

I'd agree with that projection. Pretty clear-cut this year with no interconference matchups to mess up the standard seeding. One thing I wonder though is if the committee might swap New Hampshire and Michigan for attendance purposes. Another option to help attendance would be swapping New Hampshire with Northern Michigan. Either way would get New Hampshire out east and improve attendance at either of those regionals, plus bring one of the Michigan teams to St. Paul.

Not official, but according to my numbers, during the last 11 games where we've gone 10-1, Eidsness has a 1.36 GAA and .942 SV%.

I'm not so sure we'd be a guarantee for Albany in this scenario. If these events all happen, we have Miami, Denver, UND, & BC sitting 1-4. Miami goes to Ft. Wayne & BC goes to Worcester, but depending on the other matchups for Denver (Eastern teams) the committee could send Denver to Albany (since they fly anyway) if it helps attendance in that regional, and send UND to the X, along with St. Cloud, if they are a high 2 seed. Should be fun to watch.

Funny thing is it seemed like he actually played with some heart during the World Juniors.

What is this "VCR" thing you speak of?

All tickets have been sold.

2 tickets have been sold, and 2 more are still available.

I also have hotel rooms available at both Embassy Suites and Hilton Garden Inn. If you buy tickets, I will give up either of these rooms to you.

I have 4 Final Five tickets available for the whole tournament. The tickets are in Section 104 Row 16. Great seats at center ice. Lots of good Sioux fans in this area. Just looking to sell for face ($160 each). PM me or email me at fargosioux@cableone.net if interested.

Sticking with my original prediction. 7-2 Sioux Scoring from all 4 lines. Trupp's shots finally start finding the net, just in time for the stretch run. Trupp-Toews-Gregoire-Trupp-LaPoint-Hextall-Kristo

Bingo!

I saw MacWilliam man the point on the power play with Olsen last year in Alberta. Granted, it's at an entirely different level, but he still looked very good when I saw him. He actually put up decent points for a d-man last season too.

I agree with most of your analysis, except I don't see UND getting the St. Paul regional as the final #1 seed. It definitely depends on a few other things, but I see the committee sending us out East if we are fortunate enough to sneak into the #4 spot.

This is one reason why the pairwise system is flawed. You sometimes have a situation in the first round of the playoffs where it is better for your PWR to beat a team in 3 games (to ensure they remain a TUC) as opposed to sweeping them in 2. My guess is that it may be the same way next weekend.
