Fair point, all I know is in my viewings of QU, they are far from innocent victims as their coach makes them out to be.

He's not very well liked out east either. Neither is QU. They have a reputation of being a dirty team, so when their coach is whining about non calls and high hits, it rubs people the wrong way. Since his team is doing the exact thing he's complaining about.

I blame the onions.

Ha! There are those of us from my hometown that aren't over our high school's switch from Mohawks to Thunderhawks! I'm 33 now and we switched when I was 10. People who write these kind of articles that have no connection to the issue astound me because they just have not been in the shoes of those that have been through this kind of change and have no idea how long it takes for schools to successfully make a transition. And there are those who will never move completely past it too. I met a lot of people in Oxford,Ohio at the Miami series that were still upset about their change and they changed a while ago also.

I listened to Berry on one of the UND Sports podcasts, and he gave the impression within a week or two they'll have a pretty good idea who is staying and who is going.

We were talking about this on Saturday after the game. But for a team like QU, ranked #1 overall going in, shouldn't you have enough depth to get through at the very least regionals without a player like Anas? Heard all season how deep they are from pretty much everyone. My thought was if they would have let him rest up during regionals, he might have been in a lot better shape at the Frozen Four than he was.

Help CC get out of the basement?

Smith is for sure coming and Jones is for sure not. He's a 2017-18 recruit. He was just named next season's captain for Penticton.

Gersich can play center. At least he has in the past.

Trevor is just having fun. That's all. Must sense the tension in the fanbase about the other unknowns and is trying to lighten the mood.

I was sick the entire time I was here so I'd love to come back so I could enjoy it outside of the hockey stuff a bit more. I'd probably stay a week!

Update: I'm alive and breathing.

QU is the home team. Higher seed. I went to the box office this morning. UND shoots twice at the 109/309 part of the arena.

Haha, well I could be sweet talked if there are contributions for parking by the arena...

Good chance I'm doing the same . I still have no idea how I'm paying for this trip. My mindset was book now, figure it out later. So clearly I'm going to be last minute on tickets, so hopefully there are a lot of tickets to be had down there.

My computer didn't allow that option so I'm going to call or stop at an outlet to buy.

Buccigross tweeted out we are the late game, but that's as close as confirmation as I've seen yet. The late game would help with my paranoia over flight delays and traffic...

My flight gets in a little after 11am Thursday. Supposed to be a 2 hr drive to Tampa. Flights into Tampa just didn't work with my schedule (or price range)

I decided to fly into Fort Myers, rent a car, and drive. I'm going solo at this point so if anyone else is looking to save some costs on hotel, let me know!

I'm desperately trying to make this work. Dirt cheap lodging would be really helpful...

Parks didn't arrive at UND until the following season. It was Nelson's freshman year.

I hope you didn't suggest putting us and Cloud in St Paul. You can't put 2 number 1 seeds in the same region!

Frankly, I'd rather see both Wolanin and Shaw in the game over Thompson. I'm sure everyone here thinks I'm crazy. I did not watch the game, I was at work, so I won't comment further.

Your beef is with CBS Sports, not NCHC TV. I believe the contract with CBS says games cannot be streamed when they are on CBS. Which is why the 3rd place game is streamed, but not the other 3 games.

Well, yeah... but I was just responding to the question about whether we all found it surprising...
