I personally think St. Paul should be in the rotation.
It is one of the epicenters of college hockey, along with Detroit and Boston.

I missed the goal (trying to watch from work), but BU leads 1-0 on a shorty.

DU has been on their back foot the entire game.
Just mentioned by Carle and the TV commentators.

Lots of empty seats...I think we need destination Frozen Fours all the time. Tampa, Las Vegas, where else?

All right, here we go. BU vs DU 4 pm, BC vs. Mich 7:30 pm.

Today's GF Herald poll is "Are you in support of a Bubba Schweigert extension?"
https://www.grandforksherald.com/
I voted (won't say which way), and of the 1343 responses, 57% are in favor and 43% are not.

Thanks. I did read that article when it was first published, but must have skipped or not remembered that part.

new strength and conditioning coach
Was this announced somewhere? If so, I missed it.

One of the few times that I've personally known a student athlete on a UND team. Congrats to him and his family. I believe he would have known/played with Starcevic, so maybe that can lure him here, too.

Wait, wasn't Berry getting criticized because he doesn't make in game adjustments?
I have a hard time keeping up with what the current narrative is...I thought it was Hakstol that didn't make in-game adjustments

The regionals were entertaining
Absolutely. Disappointed in UND's result, but throughout the whole weekend, lots of lead changes, pulled goalies, and overtimes. Can't ask for much more as a hockey fan.

Normally, after UND is eliminated, I cheer for a team that hasn't won a Natty, or is the furthest removed from their previous Natty. In this case, that happens to be Michigan (1998). A little less than ideal to cheer for them, but that definitely is a long drought. As much as it would be nice for NCHC bragging rights, I don't think I can be happy with Denver getting yet another one. Yikes. Maybe since BC and BU have been the #1 and #2 teams all year, having them play for the championship in one final battle for ultimate bragging rights is what's best for 2024.
As for the location, St. Paul is about as about as far removed from any of the remaining schools' campuses. Michigan will probably bring a contingent, but not sure about the other schools. Probably will be a rink full (hopefully) of college hockey fans from all bases, with a decidedly upper Midwest flair. Would have been more fun with Nodak, Minny, and Wisco to create some old school Final Five magic.

Whose the und personality on staff
Taylor Budge was specifically mentioned in the article that she will remain in Grand Forks. Alex Heinert was not mentioned as a laid off personality either, so I would guess his role as primary hockey broadcaster would remain. But they still need a back up for when he has CBS gigs. Unless this all some master plan with Summit, NCHC, and Midco, like was alluded to earlier.

Really unfortunate...I'm surprised Midco didn't find other areas to cut before talent and content...after all it's why I subscribe in the first place!
I agree, kind of bush league on their part. Their brand seemed to be growing and getting better all the time.

So if the contracts with UND, USD, and SDSU are unchanged, who is going to do all this broadcasting?

You would,think schools would figure out bidding and get only one bid per year for the west
I don't know how much work it is to host; generally a school does not do it every year. So in this scenario, are you saying a group of western schools (maybe 4 or so) just take turns bidding their own arena and no one puts in a competing bid?
-
We'll see how the attendance at the regionals does now with the brackets filled, but this was a year with lots of potential for the current system, only to be thwarted lower seeded host teams sending higher seed (including 2 #1 seeds) to the other side of the country. Denver (which really had no natural regional, but...) to Springfield, Mass., while Boston U (less than 100 miles from Springfield) to Sioux Falls, SD. Meanwhile, Iowa women (with the most famous BB player in the country right now) got to play an opening round NCAA game at home on Saturday, which they won, and will host another one tonight.

I guess it comes down to keeping #2 against #15 vs. keeping the higher seeded "western" team in the west...I flipped Denver and Sparty and R.I.T. and WMU
As a “consolation” for sending BU west, I gave them the lowest seeded opponent.

Here's my stab:
Providence: 1) BC vs 15) RIT, 8) Wisc vs 9) Q
Sioux Falls: 2) BU vs 16) MTU, 7) Minn vs 11) Omaha
Springfield: 3) Denver vs 14) Mass, 5) Maine vs 12) Cornell
Maryland Heights: 4) Mich St vs 13) W Mich, 6) UND vs 10) Mich
I kept schools as close to a regional as is allowed.

So the field is set, right? No surprises from the selection show?

Not saying I'm not disappointed with some of our outings in the last month (CC, Omaha), but think how greedy of a fan base we are when we're #5 national PWR and all we can talk about is how this team is underperforming.

Wondering if I should buy ESPN+
Things could have changed, but historically, ESPN+ was not needed if you have ESPN networks as part of your TV subscription because the lowest tier they've ever gone is ESPN3.

I have 4 MSU v 14 CC - 5 UND v 10 Mich. in MO at the moment. A few scenarios bump CC and move UMASS-A in according to the predictor.
Not sure who the 4 seed will be, but this is my prediction as well.

1-0 BU after one.
