It was such an over reaction to 1 game. If it was the 1st round I would say finish off your opponent in less time so you’re not exhausted the next day. what will they do if the 1st game of the day at a regional goes 5 OTs?

I don’t see a scenario where they would cram 4 college games into a single site in 1 day. Only way it works would be 2 games a day.

I Like this, but only if it is over 3 days, not 4. I.e. Detroit Thursday, Friday and Saturday. and St Paul Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The teams that play Thursday get a day off and the Teams the play Friday play the next day. All 4 winner teams will get the same amount of rest. The Friday teams would play early games on Friday and the late game on Saturday. 2 Games everyday would be a fun 3 days.

Um... Unless UND is hosting you need to plan at a moments notice now if you are going to the regional, as you don't really know what Regional they will be in until its anounced.

They are probably just trying to get people riled up with MSU having to go to CO when it should be UND per bracket integrity. Pretty simple, DU wins and they are the 5 seed and Western goes to Loveland. Lose and DU is the 6 overall and Michigan St goes to Loveland. I don't know how they would end up as a 7 seed, maybe when i have time to kill I'll try to figure it out.

I don't think so. Winner of that game is in and the loser in out. Doesn't look like it has any effect on Augustana.

If BC beats UCONN and UMASS beat BC for the Hockey East Championship, than Michigan beats Ohio State, Augustana would move to 15 and in. Oh and also Princeton or Clackson can't win ECAC.

Not what I'm saying at all, just pointing out the facts. Looking at our schedule before the season it actually looks about right, it just turned out that a lot of the teams we played are having down years. The schedule has 2 home and home with teams within easy driving distance, a cupcake coming back from Winter break, a decent ECHC Team, and a long time rival. Turns out not much room for Error when this happens. Currently losing at home to a bad MN team is costing us the #1 overall seed.

It depends on what you do with the Champion club Fees. If you add the CC fees into the ticket price, the ticket prices this weekend are pretty close depending on what level you are at and how many tickets you purchase. The list price per ticket is like $25/ticket for Season ticket holders. In my mind I don't consider the CC fees are part of the tickets as that is what I'm giving to the university. The $25 ticket price is what I'm paying to go to the game. IMO part of the problem is a lot of the Season tickets are owned by companies and they give them to customers/employees. They budget a certain amount for the year for the season tickets. The games this weekend and next would put them over the budget.

20+ Home UND Hockey games a year. You might only get a chance to see some bands a few times in your life.

Unless Clarkson or St Thomas wins their conference tournament, UND will not have played any NCAA tournament teams in Non-conference. Is this the worse non-conference schedule ever for UND?

What were ticket prices in St Paul? It seems to be more on campus and in St Paul you got 2 Semi Final Games. Also easier for the NCHC to justify higher prices when you need to pay to rent the X, hotels and transportation for 4 teams.

I'd love to see a packed house, but at the same time I wouldn't be too upset to see a bunch of open seats. They are doubling (Semi-Final) and tripling (Final) the price. Hope they learn their lesson.

No shot to beat any team in the field with your C- Game. I don't think you are beating Mercyhurst with a C- game.

Agree price gouging. They moved to campus sites for the atmosphere. This will not accomplish that

Augustana is not the host team. Omaha is the host team. Odd situation where 1 team is hosting in the backyard of another team. correct best scenario augustana is a 3 and we are #1 overall

This thread didn’t seem to age well

Fair enough. However he was not the Back-up to Belfour. He was the Back-up to the Back-up to the Back-up. I remembered Brower and Strome being the other 2 goalies. Looks like the 4th string Goalie, I stand corrected.

He came in the year after Belfour left.

Last week they were 100 points ahead of us. That is a lot of extra votes to pick up this late in the season after 1 bad weekend for them. IMO you can take the top 3 and put them in any order and the NPI reflects that. We have a very good chance to get to the #1 overall seed if we can win the next 4 games. I don't really care, but don't understand Western picking up 1 first place vote after only getting 2 points on the weekend. I guess the only explanation would be it came for us and we didn't or unable to vote for ourselves.

Anyone know what the cost is for students? They are definitely taking a big risk charging that much for tickets. I don’t think they will sell out.

I would if I’m them. They are in ncaa tournament for sure.

I'm sure it won't be long until all teams are doing this? Everyone is looking for ways to generate more income. I remember when it was frowned upon to put advertising on the boards.

Usually this is reserved for teams on the bubble, but OK. LOL

ASU and St Thomas are not Blue Bloods. Will Howard at Augustana. Augustana is just as good as St Thomas and much better than ASU.
