Not being allowed to participate isn't the same thing as having a private school tournament. Did they actually have a private tournament prior to 1975?

Hey, I hate Duke as much as the next person, but there's no question that Coach K is a winner. The job he did this past Olympics was incredible. I also respect Jack Parker too. Boston U has some coach-searching to do. I wonder if UMass-Lowell is sweating bullets...

I was being facetious by trying to point out how difficult it is to win an NCAA hockey title. By comparison, Coach K at Duke has 4 NCAA basketball titles in 32 years. Would you fire him too?

40 years and only 3 NCAA titles? He should have gotten the axe AGES AGO!

Congratulations to the UMass-Lowell River Hawks for becoming the first team NOT named Boston University, Boston College, Maine, or New Hampshire to win the Hockey East regular season title. Just two years ago, this team didn't even make the HE playoffs. Wow.

Why wait until the FF to lose? Didn't Denver lose in the first round of the WCHA playoffs in 2004 and then go on to win the NCAA title a few weeks later? EDIT: Snake beat me to the punch on this scenario.

Now that's funny!

Isakson's goal came at the 19:59 mark of the 3rd period. But, go ahead, just look at the box score and call it an a$$-kicking. Using the same logic, UND outshot BSU last Saturday 30-18 and yet the entire team should be bag-skated til they puke because they embarrassed Fighting Sioux tradition with their play that night?

Playoff seedings and potential Final Five scenarios are set...let's see some more votes as people start making travel plans...

Yea, playing at 7pm on Thursday and then 2pm on Friday really is bogus.

I sent you a PM.

Yes this rule sucks but it's been discussed every year...and applied to Wisconsin when they won the Final Five in Milwaukee in 1998.

With prick fans like Mariucci on this site representing Minnesota, I hope Bruce McLeod asks Don Lucia for it back while still on the ice for the Broadmoor Trophy presentation!

Speaking of jerseys, does anyone have any old photos of the 1950's and 1960's jerseys? I recently customized some throwbacks and am curious to see how they stack up against the originals...

I watched Bemidji and Minny again tonight, siouxvikes. The game was 2-1 late in the second and Goldy picked up a cheap late one. Even Gopher homer announcers pointed out that Minnesota was dominated in the 2nd period, yet still somehow led by 2. In the 3rd, the Beavers had SEVERAL great chances but Wilcox made some great saves. Minny picked up two cheapies late in the game to make the final 5-1. Per the announcing crew - Bemidji gave Minnesota all it could handle this weekend and they expect two tough games next weekend. But you go ahead and just look at your iphone app CHN that says '5-1 Gophers' and call it a blowout...

So the MacNaughton Cup can't make an appearance last night in Madison...but it can be shipped to Bemidji tonight 'just in case'?

Sioux playing for a banner right now...SCSU FAIL!

Michigan sweeps Northern Michigan in CCHA...Bowling Green and LSSU going to a third game...

Badgers still up 2-1 with 1230 to play...4-1 Minnesota over Bemidji State...looks like Thursday night game for the Sioux assuming first round playoff victory...

Isn't that the truth!

The Sioux aren't locked in at all. A UND win and a Gopher los or tie means #2 seed for the Sioux. A Gopher win means Minny gets the 2 seed. I thiught the scenarios had been beaten to death already but apparently not.

The Black Bears are making a late-season push...and trying to save Tim Whitehead's job!

Wilbur, I think he means US!

I don't blame the Hermantown coach for going ballistic on the official afterward. His player was practically horse-collared seconds prior to the GWG being scored.

I can't seem to find information on the 'private school' tournament...am I looking in the wrong place?
