Step back from the ledge... got up 3-0, the boys can take another 3-0 run. The game isn't over. The season, isn't over!

Very simple: Win. Pretty, ugly, blowout, squeaker, it doesn't matter. Just win. Prediction: Sioux 3-0. Cam plays superman.

They caught a great few great Hak glares too! As I told my wife, "If Nick Mattson is watching this game, he's probably now in a corner in the fetal position just from the memories"

I do - I live in Cass County and regularly see Paul at Fargo Force games (or did until this mess started, now much less). I just couldn't resist the dig As someone who grew up in MN with Hennepin County seemingly trying to rule half the state, ND is no different with Cass County having a huge influence. Those population centers...

This ^^. Nothing like cruising home from the lakes, having that song pop up on the radio, and feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!

Wrong team won, but the right guys scored. Glass half empty or full?

Careful what you say, or Imperial Cass will feel disrespected and have to get involved in this, too.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game against Nashville

Didn't matter this weekend, but still... I was done in game 1...

With news that Yon is out, can I update to another freshie? I'll keep Bowen on Friday, but change out Yon for Hoff on Saturday.

I misread - it lists him as a 2018 pick on that slide. I thought it was a listing of "could go early" still as part of the 2017 listing. I'll edit my post

I did - and it was cool to have Harris at #1!

Big game tonight, after getting "Leclerc'd" on Tuesday by the Ducks. Plus, it's always fun to play beat Dallas. Wife and I made a mid-week call and are headed to the X for Saturday's game against Nashville. This will be the first Wild game we've attended in 2 years NOT against the Blackhawks - hope MN kicks Pred butt

My chest tightened just thinking about it!

Sad trend in this thread of people not going. Unfortunately, it continues with us. We've decided not to go and didn't renew our seats. No hotel is even booked "just in case we decide to go". It's just not happening.

Shoot, we kept our plans and attended the regional at the X last year, even after UND got shipped away. Love to watch good hockey!

Last night's game was nerve-racking. Taking that early 3 goal lead, while being outshot, then watching a couple find the net... Good thing Dub was able to lock it down! I wonder if we see Kemper tonight vs. Chicago? Back-to-back with a few travel hours in between could be tough for any goalie.

F=Bowen, S=Yon Freshie power!

I've wondered if he'll be done a couple of times the last few years. It really wouldn't surprise me at this point.

I'm talking a borderline, and just posing the question. Say 3 bottom tear teams win their tournaments, and only the top 13 pairwise get in. Would it be out of the question to treat hockey like every other one of the NCAA sports, and find an excuse to flip the 12 and 13 overall? Maybe it is - Hockey has been much more mathematical in the decisions than basketball, football, etc., but I just posed it as a "Do you think they would?" type of question. You definitely answered "No."

I don't honestly remember the seeding that well, so I have to punt on that question, but according to the next quoted post, it's happened where they did some rearranging. :shrug:

Let me throw a wrench in the "Pairwise rules all matchups" scenario: Say there's a couple of schools that win their conference tournament and get in, but wouldn't be in otherwise. If UND is within 1 - 2 spots of a 3 seed, but PW says should be a 4, I'm thinking they may get assigned a 3 seed, just so UMD can get put in Fargo while avoiding a round 1 matchup. No proof, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I have to respectfully disagree. Even though we no longer have our place in 302, the wife and I still make the trip upstairs to see Al and the crew at that end (even though they replace the good beer with ciders 2 years ago, and I have to buy my beer on the main level).

Blues really have underachieved this season. I doubt this move fixes much, but it might light a fire for a couple weeks.

I spent several years in 302, Row C, seat 23. Great place to watch a game from!
