I think you're right as long as they sweep this weekend.

IF UND can get one by Raty first it could be interesting, Minnesota might actually have to allow a crack in that defense trying to push for a goal. But that's easy to say, doing it will be another thing.

Yeah looks like Mankato instead, for some reason I thought Denver was locked into the 6 spot.

Are there automatic-bid teams in the play-in games, I thought they were bubble teams? I honestly don't know, I just thought they were good teams that were upset in their tournament and such?

Have to sweep these guys, no two ways about it. We could be looking at playing Denver, Minnesota, and JBS on consecutive nights...have to be rested going into that.

I don't think they should make plans of showing it at any summer picnics, Bruce will probably swing through Minnesota on his way home from Pittsburgh and be knocking on doors.

That's one concern, soft goals given up after scores have been ridiculous this year. Second concern, we've leaned hard on goaltending the last couple weeks, that's dangerous. Third concern, they haven't been able to get that second line ignited, after the last 2 games I think the Rocco experiment hasn't produced what they wanted and he would be better off back with the KK line, can't fault Hak for trying to get more production but it didn't happen this week. I'm glad we have another week before the Final Five because they need a week of good practice right now.

I know, I'm just wondering how long McLeod will let the "traitors" hold on to "his" cup.

That said I wonder when they'll come knocking to get it back? April 14th, first day of fall semester, ...? I assume Minnesota being in possession will not be popular with the WCHA, or SCSU either for that matter.

He's had a great year, was he Player of the Week 3 times? I hope he scores 50 against Weber in the semis.

Congratulations, see you in the semis.

Would you f'in give it a rest? It's history, let's worry about next week.

Can't screw around next week with a Thursday game and a semifinal with Minnesota looming, going to be a tough road to hoe.

No doubt, and I don't know why. In the seven championship years the LEAST amount of games lost was 7, and this team is sitting at 6 right now, it's not like they're playing .500 hockey. Even the loaded team 2 years ago lost 9 times. I guess in some peoples minds you have to go undefeated at home and only split with Denver and Minnesota on the road, otherwise you fail.

Surprised they have time, about now is when they start rounding up all the hair bleach in the MSP area.

Rocco

We have to finish ahead of Minnesota to get the two seed I think, both SCSU and UM have the tiebreaker over us. Again, I think.

Grimaldi, Rowney

Must have been because of some tiebreaker because they split with UNO and Mankato?

Many

Can anything ever be easy?

That's been the pattern lately, PP goal after PP goal, we'll see how they do when they don't get every call.

Beavers are playing the spoiler role nicely so far.

I could live with a Gopher tie tonight.

And now 5-1, looks like the streak might be history.
