    UPSET CITY!

    Being a SIOUX fan, I would LOVE to say that North Dakota has a FOR SURE shoe in to the second round playoffs, but I think we all can remember what happened around this time of year....Anyways...I posted the UMD vs. Union a little while ago to see what people thought about Union taking advantage of a disoriented UMD team at the moment. I know my motives for choosing Union as the team that comes out on top, but lets look at the rest of the field.....Merrimack vs. Notre Dame. I think Merrimack will proceed to the second round playoffs for various reasons....What do you all think? Miami Ohio vs. UNH..Im confident to say that Ohio will come out on top as well...BC vs CC....Originally thinking that BC would have thier way of it, now thinking that CC could really post problems for last years Champions. These are just a few of the contemplations I've had since this bracket came out!! I'd love to hear everyone's two cents on what they think may be possible upsets in this years playoffs!

    Union gave Yale a good run this year. 5 of Yale's 6 losses were on the road. They were 6-5 on the road. I think Union can beat them and I believe that top line of UMD will drive them crazy. It depends upon whether UMD's defense and goaltending can keep Yale off the scoreboard or at least slow them down. I believe that Yale will have some difficulty coming out of the region, but so could the Sioux with Denver.

    I def. think that Yale will win it's first round game...Air Force may give them a run for thier money though...UMD has a VERY high amount of penalty minutes..I i can't be sure but if Scott told his team to be mindful of penalties A) it could send them in trouble with Union having a pretty good power play or B) it could make UMD less physical and alter thier normal style of play....Either way i think the cards are in Union's hand to be dealt!

    With a prediction of Yale coming out of the first round but pretty beat up...Do you think this could be the opportune time for Union to really own the second game? At first glance the brackets seemed easy to fill out....Guess not!!

    As of today, I heard UMD will not be traveling until tomorrow.. Practice tonight, and a light practice tomorrow morning. Now judging by the weather.. I would have thought they would be leaving tonight or even this afternoon. Anyways....eventhough Union had a dissappointing series against Colgate...i do have reason to believe that they may be an overlooked team. Looking at Air Force (not a push over by any means) and Union (beating Yale in the second half of the season). Do you guys think that Union could have enough steam to take UMD down and possibly Yale? Following mostly the WHCA, I can't go ahead and say that UMD and Yale are the clear winners here. Any insight on these teams? Any comments? lets hear it! Oh yeah..I'm sure you all remember who UMD lost to in the final five....UMD looks shaky coming into this, especially with travel now a factor
