I'll go with number 1. As far as the last statement I think the only game they mailed it in was the Sat game against DU. Fri night against DU they outplayed DU convincingly but lost real late. Last weekend they had some issues with the refs and video replays of goals.

One thing I don't like about this weekend is how many people are thinking that our winning the Cup is a forgone conclusion and counting the Badgers out. I can see the Badgers being a very dangerous team this weekend as they are a wounded animal.

when did we play norhteastern this season? did I miss something as Big Joe got injured against UMass I believe.

they also presented the cup at home in 1998, however that was a downer as they did it after the Saturday game and Wisconsin beat us that night.

does anyone know if the team is flying or driving to madison?

I have to work that day and i just need to know when to schedule myself.

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.
