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.

My buyer backed out so these are available again. Tickets are in Section 107 Row H. Price is $80 for the pair. Email fargosioux@cableone.net if interested. Tickets are sold.

I know this should probably go in the ticket forum, but since this thread is talking about the Frozen Four I thought I'd mention it here. I have a couple extra tickets available for the Frozen Four. They are located in section 241. Send me a PM if you have any interest and I can get you details.

For sale - 2 tickets to Friday night's game vs. Michigan Tech. Section 107 Row H. Price is $80 for the pair. Tickets can be picked up in Moorhead on Friday morning. Email fargosioux@cableone.net if interested. Tickets have been sold.

2002 .. got beat in 2 games at Marriucci.

College Hockey News has us at tied for 7th.

The pairwise rankings on siouxsports.com has us at #6.

This seriously scares me (the thought of facing UMTC). I remember the ridiculous officiating in Mankato a couple years ago when UMTC won the road series to make the Final Five.

Home ice baby!

Internet radio feed must be quite a few seconds behind however you are following the game. I read your post about 15 seconds before I heard Tim make the call.
