This weekend is going to come back to haunt us. has anyone run the simulation if Omaha loses next weekend?

Sioux Falls regional as of tonight would be North Dakota, Minnesota, Omaha, and Providence.

Yikes. On the plus side, that would be a 3 seed and not thwart und from going there as a 1 seed. On the negative side, Omaha would be in the same regional

Wow, stoned by a backup goalie.

So are the home ice teams set?

Is the Cooley that plays for CC related to the Cooley that played for Minnesota?

CC taking it to Denver. 4-1 now

Until I heard it mentioned on the broadcast tonight I had no idea they were rolling like that.

Had a chance to open the gates with 5x3 for minute and a half, but shat the bed. Omaha looked good.

Horrible power play.

Midco intermission report showed Du and Cc tied at 1. But my dvr shows that starting at 9 central. ?

This should net Berry at least one COY honor. Brilliant job handling that situation.

I know I don't speak for most of you when I say I don't mind John Buccigross, but man how great would it sound to have Doc Emrick calling the Frozen Four??

From the aforementioned linked Bracketology article: "First, I’d love to get Wisconsin to Maryland Heights, which is a community known for its love of the Badgers." What's the connection there?

I alluded to that back on Saturday.

I'm super excited for the next several days: hockey Friday and Saturday, basketball Sunday, and hopefully basketball Monday and Tuesday.

UND certainly has some hockey-only fans, but I would say most fans of UND's other popular sports (FB, BB, VB) are also hockey fans. I don't know many FB/BB/VB-only fans, so having those sports compete with hockey reduces potential crowds. So having SL Tourney games on non-hockey nights is good for UND, IMO. I also think it's good for the Summit League itself because they get some Championship Week exposure without the P5 conferences dominating the media coverage.

Unless he gets offered with an NHL job (either head or assistant), I think Berry will coach through UND hosting the Frozen Four in 2026. As the next HC, Dane Jackson has been with the staff a very long time. I assume he would have the best chance, but I also don't think there's be any regrets hiring Karl Goehring.

I would start Hobie one of the games. Not sure if matters which one. For all you coaches and former players, would it be better to tell the back up he starting the first game or second game of a series? I hope some of our normally healthy scratches (are there any?) get playing time as well.

If UND is a 1 seed and Denver a 2 seed, are they put in the same regional due to geography? Or since Denver would fly to whatever regional they go to, the committee is at ease to put them wherever?

That is bold.

I didn’t either. Not sure if I even heard his name called on the broadcast.

Same. The 4 teams in the middle of the standings will have huge quarterfinal matchups. Will be very fun to watch. The losers go home, I think.

The thing is, UND wasn't even the top team going into the tournament during the Hak years. UND made it to the Frozen Four as all four different seeds, and was never the overall top seed. 1 seed in a regional: 2008* (3rd overall seed), 2011* (2nd overall seed), 2012 (4th overall seed), 2015* (2nd overall seed) 2 seed in a regional: 2005*, 2006*, 2009, 2010, 2013 3 seed in a regional: 2007* 4 seed in a regional: 2014* *denotes Frozen Four year
