there is a major announcement coming today at 1:30 in regards to the 2011-2012 schedule. I would be willing to bet this is what it is.

not a very accurate statement as the Frozen Four is already sold out and sells out every year. so this committee conspiracy stuff doesn't pan out and won't as the committee has proven over the past however many years they go straight by the pairwise rankings for the field and placement of the field with the exception of minor tweak here or there.

I believe so.

denver did in 2005 as well.

what I liked about the win was at the end of the second period when the penalties began to come-we didn't lose our composure like we have in a few other games this season(at maine and fri night uno at home). maybe this team has matured.

and doing it the other way didn't work out to well two years ago. so it really doesn't matter.

if we sweep and denver, omaha and duluth all lose as least once, would the Cup be presented after Sunday's game?

as long as we win our rpi will stay the same or rise a little bit. if a win against say tech would drop our rpi that game would not be counted in rpi. on the other hand any loss in the next 4 games will drop our rpi big time.

If the Sioux are there I will be there, if they aren't we'llsee.

or you could just log into the live chat with Brad and Jayson.

we don't even get those games here, we get lousy womens's basketball one night.

I was thinking the same thing.

Sat night in Houghton after we clinch the Cup on Friday night

I'm glad SCSU is coming off a very good performance in Duluth as that means we shouldn't overlook them and they should have our utmost attention. that said get a spilt this weekend, then sweep the next two and the Cup is ours.

I'm not foreseeing a friday "slump" this week I really think we'll come out and have a real solid win 5-1 or 4-1 win, saturday on the other hand.... For the first time that I can recall I am saying anything less than 4 points is unacceptable this weekend. if we don't get for points this weekend I don't seeing us finishing first. and can somebody shut that UAA blogger up, is all he can do this week is take shots at the state of North Dakota and its residents?

my two year old boy has become a sioux hockey addict, it is all he wants to watch and play sioux hockey. he refuses to watch mickey mouse instead he wants to watch the sioux. my wife says he is worse than me, he makes his dad proud and he's only been to two games.

wasn't there one called the money line?

nope and I wouldn't expect to hear much more than that, due to federal law. we probably won't hear any expected time frame other than "a while or don't know at this time" come mid week either.

only if he is going to be Big Ben's chauffeur. Go Steelers.

I don't care what it takes for us to finish in the top two as long as we do that and avoid the play-in games at the final five. cuz if we don't we could possibly see a repeat of last year where we played 6 game sin 9 days and we all remember how well we did in the ncaa's being dead tired.

I'm sorry but who gives a rip about what yale is doing or not doing. we currently have a team in a serious funk and currently isn't anywhere near a team that can take over as the number one team in the country. so it really doesn't matter that yale lost.

Hak was essentially hand picked by Blais to be his successor and things have turned out pretty well. We are the only to team in the WCHA to make the NCAA tournament every year since Hak took over(in fact I think us and Michigan are the only two nationally to make it every year since Hak took over), obviously there were some bad frozen four appearances(2006 and 2008) and in 2005 and 2006 with a little luck we would have a NC to brag about.

I was not in the gf area at the time, but were people calling for Blais' head after the 2001-2002 season when we didn't even make the tournament? or were people just well that's will just happen from time to time?

as far as points go this a huge series beings duluth and denver are both off and we are off next week. I think for us to have a share of first place after next weekend we need a minnimum of three points this weekend. on a side note I know it is still early but as of right now we hold the tie breaker over both duluth and denver even though we split we have more conference wins than both.

yep and when my 2 1/2 year old asked me this morning if the sioux scored last night(as he wasn't at the game)-and he got so excited when I told him yes and he started to go sieve,sieve, sieve.
