it will also mean less visits from the bottom feeders like tech and uaa. the bigger point here is that a program was saved. because if bsu and uah were allowed to cut their programs the number of teams allowed in the ncaa tourney almost for surely would drop from 16 back to say 12. this move is great for college hockey. I've never been to a und/du game in denver nor a game at cc, but I have been to several und/bsu games in bemidji and those were some of the funnest games I've ever been to.

how will the "natural" rival pairings go? these three I think are givens: umn-uw umd-tech cc-du the next three could be paired anyway: msum-scsu und-bemidji omaha-uaa or und-scsu bemidji-uaa msum-omaha

$$$ I'm not sure if it would make sense as the X holds 3000 more people and if you consider a 5 game package runs about $150 that's $450,000 the WCHA would be giving up in certain years.

mankato state doesn't exist anymore. you can stop living in the 80's.

while we're at this. some people think we should go after uaf-how about we send tech back to the ccha and bring in uaf then you have: und-bsu uaa-uaf uno-msum cc-du um-uw scsu-umd.

would they change on a yearly basis or no? also would they maybe change our natural rival to say bsu instead of st cloud?

if this has been addressed I apologize- I keep seeing in refernce to scheduling and the ccha they refer to a four team cluster, does anyone know what this is and how does it work? would the teams you are grouped with in a certain year be the teams you play 4 times?

agreed, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

the league name is pointless. for how many years did the atlanta braves play in the national league west?

who cares about this anyways. it has nothing to do with sioux hockey.

what is the difference between rbk/ccm and gemini in their look?

maybe Berry could get a part time job working with the sioux as coach of the defense.

I can't say Trupp as he doesn't seem to stay healthy long enough to have a breakout year. I'll go with Frattin having a big year.

at least at the beginning of the year I see vv,malone and frattin together. hak really liked what he saw from them at the end of the year and I bet he starts the year with that line.

I apologize if this has been discussed already. but what was the nhl thinking scheduling game 4 tonight right up against game 1 of the nba finals. why would they want to go head to head with the nba? it's a lost battle before it even begins.

6 ties? I've never understood how people can predict a tie considering how rare they are.

no it's as some location just outside of chicago.

We played well that game for 20 minutes. from midway through the second to midway through the third. the frustrating part was that UNH couldn't keep up with us. we let them stay in the game.

this blaming joe thing for our unh loss is ridiculous. why don't we just start blaming duncan for losing the face off that led to the tying goal. people that want to blame one person for a loss don't know the game. sure one player may have made a mistake that led to a winning or tying goal but there are 60 minutes in a hockey game and if a team is in a close game s@#@ happens at the end.

having three senior d didn't help our cause against unh.

jones and finley yes but miller was a converted forward who I don't consider a true dman. we'll have genoway, lapoint, marto,and blood back who played pretty regular the whole year. finehage(sp) who got some experience and the the freshmen. having freshmen at the blueline isn't the worst thing but we'll just go through some growing pains. we had what 4 freshmen in 05-06 and ended up fairing pretty well.

despite losing 8 seniors we are a better team heading into next year.

how about the one that tied us 2-2? du will be good, check that very good. same could be said about us. some might say all they see in BE is the kid who gave up 6 in the ncaas.

I've said this before-who cares what these so called experts think in may,june or october. it did them well picking us to finish 7th last year and cc as the overwhelming favorite to win the wcha. flying under the radar will do me just fine.

are you on drugs? those mid 90's uniforms were the ugliest things I have ever seen.
