don't disagree at all.

don't forget it was Chay's bringing the puck up the ice that set up the winning goals against msum and uaa.

the "Minnesota rule" does not exist correct? as if we finish 1st we will play the late game friday should we advance?

it's actually the Arena at Harbor Yard.

I thought it was more of the NCAA not wanting a potential top seed overall like BU facing a host team on its home ice(i.e BU having to face the gophers at Marriucci). I don't think the Yard is Yale's home ice.

our problem with our pk this weekend is that we couldn't clear the zone.

As I was watching the games this weekend I am sure glad that Bismarck's jersey's said "Demon Hockey" as I would have sure thought I was watching their basketball team play. is there any reason to have had "Hockey" on the jersey. how lame.

I think individual game tickets go on sale the week of the final 5.

kind of like Herb Brooks.

home I believe

I would think the adreniline(sp) rush of being able to play for a championship will overcome this. also I think the affect of the alaska trip was probably felt the first half of Sat's game. as since then we looked pretty good when we got our legs back.

best seat I ever had was at the Pepsi center in 2007 when porter scored against frazee I was in the corner and saw the whole play develop.

according to Brad's blog TV is a possibility.

right behind the goal about 9 rows up at the end the sioux shoot twice.

it costs more than you think.

agreed. not to say that I wouldn't want toews or oshie back or for that matter chorney, but this year's team is better for them having left as they are truly a TEAM this season and are producing like no team of the past three years has. there are no "superstars" to wait around and see if they do something. this is not a one line team.

I think you are right on with what we need to do. a split with wisc and sweep our first round series should get us in.

as hard as this is for me to say, BC sweeping NE this weekend would help us in the pairwise as it would kill NE's rpi.

this series will be a dog fight as I believe the Badgers will come out very motivated and ready to play as I don't think they want us celebrating on their ice.

I don't agree with that I remember I think it was in 98 or 99 we went to duluth and won the first game to win the cup and the second night we got spanked 8-0 and that loss seemed like it burst our balloon as we never were the same and got bounced in a regional.

If possible the west will have either the gophers, and if they don't make it either UMD or UND.

guess I should have looked myself instead of thinking someone else got it right anyway. DU wouldn't play Duluth in first round anyway so the seeds may be different but the brackets would stay the same as Michigan wouldn't play OSU. I did go back and change it.

I'm booking my travel plans on March 22.

UAA has played very well of late(including against us) I wouldn't book 4 points in Duluth's column just yet either. The fun part about this years WCHA tournament is that for the most part it will be like the NCAA tournament-lose and go home for certain teams. I would love to be at the X this year however my job won't allow me to that weekend.

Unless the gophers go to houghton and lay an egg this weekend they will get home ice and end playing a TUC team in the first round. so should the gophers get the X and win one game there I think they will get in as a 4 seed or possibly a low 3 seed.
