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.

schlossman didn't sound exactly overly positive when talking about this team stating their is a 50/50 chance this weekend goes three, a 25% chance of winning the final five and he can see them getting bounced in the first round or winning it all. wonder if he will get crucified at the herald or on their message boards for not stating positive things about this team all the time. or if jayson will ban him from the live chat this weekend.

not by any stretch of the imagination have we had a horrible feb/early march. but looking back some teams had horrendus play down the stretch and have gone on to win it all. BC was 5-6-1 heading into the HE tournament in 2008 and went on to steamroll their way to a NC and Duluth was 3-4-2 heading into the WCHA playoffs two years ago.

not if you are trying to tell your team they are better than their opponent .

I just have this feeling that if we make it pittsburgh we won't be let down this year. now getting there is the tricky part.

yep and maybe the last shot he takes wins the NC for us in OT.

don't forget they have made bigger strides than us this second half and have played cc and scsu tougher than we have .

you have to figure the law of averages at some point will tilt in our favor.

maybe the oh-so-closes will all go in the next four weekends. ifso, well win every game by 5 goals

I don't know if I could say we played our best before x-mas. I think the best we looked all year was in omaha, and yet I can't say that was our best hockey. the inconsistency of this team is frustrating to say the least. but all it takes it getting hot the last weekend in march and second weekend in april. this team definately has the capability to do that, but will they remains to be seen. I'dlike to say they come out on friday and blow the doors off of tech, but that isn't the makeup of this team. they do everything the hard way. like I said before I think it will take us three games to get this done, hopefuly I am wrong. I am not trying to be neagative here, just being realistic.

I don't know about that he missed a WIDE open net in the sat night game against bemidji
