Goon 7 Jan 0, which is also the total amount of each school's nat... well, you get the idea

Seasons not over, still #10 in pairwise so let's not all jump off the bandwagon at once and look for someone to blame after a one goal loss to a tough WMU team. Disappointing not to get hardware for sure but let's get the important trophy!

Haha no thanks although nothing would me make me happier too Go Hawks. For whatever reason I like us playing CC better, just a feeling

The whole season is the reason they ended up last but it would be foolish to ignore the play of each team most recently. Neither team is great but Miami seems to be on the upswing beating SCSU and Denver recently.

The only silver lining in last night's loss is we play CC instead of Miami, Blake Coleman is on a tear right now

When's Yon supposed to get to UND? Really impressed with his skating and quick shot after watching today.

No idea, I wasn't around until the '87 championship

Looks they did not win the conference tournament in 80 & 82 but did win it in 87,97, and 2000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_North_Dakota_men%27s_ice_hockey

No, they did not have a weekend off although I'll admit I had to go back and look.

I mean as long as the fans confidence doesn't affect how the team plays(spoiler alert:it doesn't) then it's not really an issue if some fans want to be over-confident or cocky. They only risk getting it thrown back in their own face so I don't have a problem with over-confidence. In fact, it's a 1000x better than woe is me, the Sioux suck, fire hak crap.

Yeah, I'm sure UND is looking past the biggest weekend of the regular season and their chance to hoist the Penrose Cup in the inaugural year of the NCHC. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's going to be easy but echoing other's sentiments, we are a much better team than the one that swept the Broncos in their own arena. Also, I see WMU's PP is clipping along at 12.3%, good for 4th worst in the nation and ahead of only CC, Niagra, and Huntsville...and Sioux fans were complaining about our powerplay.

I was thinking the same thing, no idea what the tropy will be.

As much as I agree that there is a certain advantage that BC(and other East Coast teams) enjoy for not having to travel for regionals, what does that have to do with your assertion that a frustrating loss would help this team going into the tournament? I was simply pointing out that BC was able to win their conference tournament the past 4 times they won a national championship. So it would appear that playing(winning) more games does not hurt teams come NCAA tournament time.

Ah makes sense, didn't even know a parking area existed. I was trying to picture a tent on Hennepin Avenue and the method for keeping drunk people from falling into traffic

Um... where will they put a tent in the middle of downtown Minneapolis? The set up is quite different from McGovern's in St. Paul, not nearly the room. However, I will be at Pourhouse "tuning up" for the games as well! Here's a picture of the outside of Pourhouse.

Like last year? We lost a frustrating play-in game and still didn't win it all and were out-skated by the eventual National Champions, the Yale Bulldogs. BC has won National Titles in 2001, 2008, 2010, & 2012. Guess what else they did every single one of those years? Won the conference tournament. In other words, the argument that the team won't have their legs under them because they roll through the tournament doesn't hold much water.

I was highly intoxicated when I discovered the secret bookcase. Needless to say, I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.

Yup, well put. That's one reason why I never really care what our "draw" is in the regionals because we are going to have beat some good teams no matter what, might as well earn it. I kind of doubt anyone outside of Yale fans had Yale coming out of our region last year.

I love the story because it means they notice that our fans are taking over their arena. We're in their heads so much they make plans to taunt us if they score, thanks for the compliment St. Cloud.

I would too, however that means we didn't win the Penrose so bring on Miami and the cup!

No, but I had a problem with the Charter feed in Minneapolis. And by problem, I mean the announcer mispronouncing Connor Gordon & Troy Stechler's name, calling the penalty box the "naughty box", and being such an unbearable homer it would make Paul Allen 'Voice of the Vikings' blush.

Channel 999 in the TC is surprisingly good quality, announcers so far... awful

Ironically, it's derived from a Sioux battle cry... edit: After doing a little more educating of myself, "Ski-u", is a Sioux non-verbal exclamation to celebrate something

He wouldn't waste his time thinking about or answering it.

^This, you never know if it'll be your year. Which, despite some heartbreak recently, makes excited everytime the tournament comes around and we're in it.
