UNH has to stay in manchester as they are the host.

nor would it help if bemidji, uaa or robert morris fall out of TUC status which all three are right on the cusp right now. in which we are 8-0-1 against those four teams right now.

yale doesn't have enough games against TUC's left that they can lose. best we can hope for is us winning the final five and they lose in the ecac semi's against a TUC(they wouldn't face any before that) and then we would still fall about a half a percentage short of flipping that comparison. I really don't think if it comes down to that the committe would put us number one based on their past history. best we can hope for is the number two overall seed. unless jim can come up with other scenario. another possible scenario is there be a surprise champion in in say the ecac where a non tuc or dartmouth wins it. then we would avoid the likes of facing a bu or even maine in the first round.

Gregoire did leave about midway through the third and missed a couple of shifts and then came back. not long after gregoire left I saw poolman come up and mention something to hak. I also noticed that rowney was absent for about the last 5 minutes or so and wasn't there for the handshake.

just how bad is tech? if things go as normal this weekend, even if tech loses to us next weekend their RPI will go up. that my friends is bad.

I'd love for our first game to be a title rematch between the Sioux and BC and BC has to watch us raise #8-that would be one incredible evening.

my question is, due to family obligations(another child) I will probably be unable to renwew my tickets for next season-can I still get my seats for the Ice Breaker though?

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.
