he made some huge saves early on especially on the mavs 5 on 3.

should we win we'll move up at least 1 spot in the pairwise to 12, if nh and ohio state lose or tie we'll move up to 11.

sconny was a 3 seed so they were 9-12.

yeah like trupp's goal. they never showed a replay except a really quick one right before the start of the third.

anyone know why sometimes they show other games in the concourse on tv, i.e. gopher games? last night during the second intermission would have been nice to watch watch the end of regulation.

if the tournament started today the gophers would not be in it, the projection has minn-duluth not minn.

a win tonight and we flip the wisc comparison. bc losing would flip that one if we win new hampshire losing to providence would likely flip that one if we win minny losing combined with us winning flips that one yale losing gets us closer to flipping that one clarkson over princeton gets us closer to flipping that one mich st over ohio state flips that one if we win again we just need to win.

hopefully the recent trend of chasing opposing goaltenders continues this weekend.

that's right

i don't know about hotels but I know Rumors, Southgate and Buffalow Wild Wings have buses.

they did beat us the 1999 regional and 2001 title game, but I would like another shot at them. something tells me that both teams will make the tourney and noone will want to play either one. If I recall last year right about this time is when they started to make their run.

I'm elated they lost. made my day.

two things two keep an eye on as far as our rival wisconsin goes. keep an eye on aa and northern michigan as if either one of those becomes a tuc it will affect the badgers greatly aa-for the positive as they are 4-0 against them and northern michigan is 2-0 against the badgers. I'd prefer that northen michigan becomes a tuc as it will affect them more negatively. as far as we're concerned there have been some people saying that it would be better if the sioux lost a game this weekend to keep the mavs a TUC. however, at this point that is just silly as we're .500 against them right now and it isn't hurting our tuc win% and if they drop out at this point it still won't matter for us. in two weeks the badgers travel to mankato for a series and should we be fortunate enough to sweep the mavs this weekend and knock them out of tuc consideration for the moment they can climb back in the ranks in two weeks with a solid performance against the badgers which would help us more as we would then be 3-1 against them. this is why we shoudn't get too caught up in what the pwr look like right now as things change quickly.

I prefer wisconsin's bracket.

Michigan,clarkson,st. lawrence, BU(I thought I read in a herald article earlier this season Brad mentioned something about them coming to the ralph in the next few years). also don't we have a return trip to quinnipiac coming up as they came out here a couple of years ago?

that's why we need to keep winning to raise our RPI because there are a few of teams out there that will probably not get to 10 TUC games and therefore only two catagories will likely come into play-RPI and Common opponents and as long as we win the RPI battle we'll win the comparison-princeton,yale and cornell are three where this will come into play. rpi itself will flip minn, wisc,duluth,bc,nh, and osu.

I thought us going out to chestnut hill last year and in 2004-2005 was the return for them coming up here in 2003-2004? I believe. northeastern was part of that agreement for them coming up here in 2005-2006.

yes

If we don't lose another game until October, I think we'll be just fine.

who else will be here for the thanksgiving weekend festivities?

we're doing that next year with merrimack, but on the other hand we will go to cornell and have miami at home plus I'm assuming a home and home with bsu.

I said this earlier in a different thread, but if we get two wins this weekend we flip a couple of comparisons(Wisc,Duluth) and with some help we could flip BC and Ohio State. There is a lot of time left so don't panic yet. Including this weekend we have 6 weekends of hockey left before selection sunday. The pwr is fun to look at and talk about but it was never meant to be looked at before the season was over. right now is only a snapshot of where teams are at. there are a lot of games countrywide left and a lot of things can happen. once again the bottom line is we need to win and this stuff will take care of itself. and it needs to start this weekend.

cool they could play until 9 o'clock.

what is the overtime in the third place game 5 minutes?

I'm about 80% positive that if they tied being harvards rpi is so low bc would dip below us in rpi. I think we lost like 20 points in rpi when we tied tech.
