ahh, who cares about the hobey. both guys will have more important things to worry about that friday in pittsburgh

I've come up with several where we win tomorrow and lose fri and don't end up with minny in grand rapids(most of the time facing UNH in manchester)

that would really suck

I'm not scared of BC this year. they are a good team but not of the caliber of ones we have seen in the last 5-6 years. i'd take being in a regional with them over minnesota any day of the week.

unless Brown were to upset them and win the ECAC then brown would go their as the host school and QU would be sent elsewhere.

hypotheticaly speaking. say und runs the table this weekend and ends up being the fourth number one seed. in the past five years or so the committee has "protected" the top two seeds from playing against host teams. where I'm going with this is if michigan were to win the CCHA and get into the tournament don't be surprised if UND gets stuck in grand rapids playing them in the first round and minnesota goes to toledo and miami really get screwed going to manchester. obviously a lot would need to happen for this to even be a converstation and I think miami puts an end to this on sat afternoon knocking off michigan.

I don't think we'll see rocco on the top line permanately again this season. we will see him in spurts throughout games but the majority of his time will be spent on the second line.

whatever it was hopefully it continues for the next four weekends.

someone over on USCHO was comlaining about this as well and the red wings scheduling thing is what someone said was the reason why.

I think I saw somewhere there was a scheduling conflict with the red wings

if Michigan does win, how would you like to be minnesota now as the number one seed in grand rapids(michigan is the host team)?

not necessarily the duluth route but I have come up with several scenarios where we win thurs, lose fri to minnesota and niagara wins atlantic hockey we end up the 8 seed potentialy facing yale in QU's region in providence. I've said it before I just don't want to be in minnesota's region.

exactly, anyone not named Niagara winning the Atlantic Hockey will take that spot along with Michigan if they get a few bounces inthe CCHA tournament.

could somebody please explain to me why we would have been so afraid to play mankato? they didn't see our A game down there and barely got a split.

I was happy to see this as well, I was thinking the same thing. maybe things have changed in houghton.

whether we win or not tonight we will make the tournament. we need to see what this team is really made of tonight. enough of the sleepwalking through games. for the first time all year the SIOUX show up and win 7-2(4 in the first and Rocco has the hat trick).

does anyone know if the league can review this and lessen the major penalty?

looking by your name it looks like you are a vikings fan. so in all your years of being a viking fan you have never stated a critical thing about the team or made an observation that was less than wearing purple colored glasses. even in the 1998 NFC championship game where they blew their opportunity to go to the super bowl or agianst new orleans when favre blew it? if you don't like what I have to say don't read them, but I have every right to come on here and give my opinion whether it it positive or not.

is it just me or have the last few weeks seemed like how we played early in the season-getting outshot, outplayed and getting by with a win? if that is the case instead improving we are regressing.

how about even some regionals in the past?

on Saturday night April 13th UND will have a player be named MVP of the national tournament which will be more important than any other individual award given out this season in college hockey including the hobey baker which we have seen been a joke in year's past.

fair enough, but I thought my comments were more important than anybody else's

on sat night he didn't allow that comment and I tried sending it twice. and saturday night, no, they didn't give him any support as they scored 1 goal. we don't need to get into an argument over this, I know what their record is and all that is in the past now as we head into the post-season and we'll see what this team is really made of as now there aren't any do-overs or learning experiences for a bad friday night game.

or "too bad zane isn't getting offensive support"

I don't disagree. at times I have been very negative on here and at other times have been a realist and been accused of being negative. the point i was trying to make was that one of the people who has spent more time around that team than we ever will and sees more than we will is saying some of the same things some of us on this board have said and have been taken to the woodshed for saying.
