wouldn't that be something if Wisonsin made the tourney and either michigan or miami had to play them int he first round or I can see us being screwed and having to play them int he first round if we don't get sent to colorado springs.

I think almost none because i think I heard shortly after the 2006 regional here that the NCAA wants to try to go away from having on campus sites host regionals. I might be completely wrong but I think that's what I heard or read.

I have a feeling that unless we are a 1 seed we will be sent to colorado springs regardless of seed, the committee will probably make sure of that. I don't like the prospects of having to beat cc on their home ice to advance to the frozen 4 considering we don't have a lot of success out there. not saying it can't be done, but I wouldn't be looking forward to that challenge.

thanks for the info.

odds are miami will at the end of the year have enough games against tuc unless they happen to lay an egg inthe ccha tourney, they will have 9 games in a couple of weeks when they play michigan so tuc will proabably come into play.

count me in

have we ever swept the seawolves up here in the new ralph? I think our record their last six games up here is 3-1-2 which I don't belive is any sweeps at the new ralph. time to get one this weekend 4-1, 5-2.

sorry if this has been brought up elsewhere, but the WCHA has suspended Randy Schmidt for at least one week, it was reported on collegehockeynews.com. next step is to make that suspension perminant.

how about 8 more.

if msum drops out of the top 25 we lose the new hampshire pairing and drop to 6th in the pairwise. this is why it is going to be so frickin difficult to get a 1 seed.

in the last 4 games duncan and oshie have a combined 1 goal and we are 4-0. If we keep getting prodcution form the other three lines and duncan and oshie start scoring goals like we know they can this team will be SCARY to play against, which I think is only a matter of time.

duncan

I can see a bracket of und v bc in the first round and versus the winner of cc and bemidji state in the second round, obviously in colorado springs.

we'll play denver 3 times and beat cc in the final five title game.

all we have to do is keep winning and maybe we'll end up 1 or 2 in the pairwise and get to go through air force, notre dame or northeaster instead of michigan or minnesota.

and if we are right?

I agree and in second place all alone in the wcha.

how terrible for the league if this loss would prevent sconnie from making the tourney.

why couldn't they replay then end of the game last night, the heat and the hawks in the nba have to replay the end of their game on friday night next month becuase the official scorer messed up. somebody's head needs to roll over this, schmidt's, greg shepherd or commissioner bruce's. this is a joke.

what is the actual rule on this, is it like in basketball where as long as a player releases the ball before the clock hits zero the shot counts or is it the puck has to be in the net before the clok hits zero for it to count?

I didn't think I was implying it had anything to do with the gophers.

we can say what we want about the "homerism" for the gophers as far as power plays go, but this is the second time in a month that denver has had a goal allowed for them(SCSU) and not allowed for their opponent(UW) that affected the outcome. I would start to say the league darlings are now the Denver Pioneers as far as officiating goes. on a side note I was absolutely shocked that campion allowed finley's goal last night considering the way he officates games against the Sioux.

I agree, I think our d from the neutral zone back to JPL has regressed since the season started. Way to many careless passes which lead to turnovers which lead to goals, i.e. this past Friday night and into the first period on saturday. Plus could somebody please tell TJ that it is okay to shoot the puck. way too many times this season I have seen him be in a good scoring position and he passes the puck instead of shooting and we get nothing.

maybe this whole oshie thing was an elaborate scheme planned up by hak and osh to give oshie 1 more days rest to heal up for a torrid stretch run. the unh guy was just a casualty of war.

so who's paired with duncan on friday? kaip, kozek, duncan?
