Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I can't wait, this is my favorite time of the year! Quote
Smoggy Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I was so looking forward to not having to deal with all the non hockey Gopher fans. I guess it's time to cheer for SCSU. Quote
dj_hoime Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I like the matchup against denver! CC 2 and UND 3 in the championship game. Go Sioux! Going to leave grand forks at 2 on Thursday and go straight to the Rink. Cant wait! Quote
gopherz Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 MN vs SCSU MN vs CC UND vs DU MN vs UND Gophers secure a 2 seed, maybe even a 1 seed (don't take this too seriously and yell at me) Quote
brianvf Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 MN vs SCSU MN vs CC UND vs DU MN vs UND Gophers secure a 2 seed, maybe even a 1 seed (don't take this too seriously and yell at me) No yelling from me, but even if that happened, there is no way that UMN would move up to a #1 seed. Quote
gopherz Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 No yelling from me, but even if that happened, there is no way that UMN would move up to a #1 seed. Yeah you're probably right, haha. But boy would that be nuts eh? Realistically though, here are my thoughts, now you can feel free to rip away at these. MN vs. SCSU -- Gophers ride Kangas to an easy victory MN vs. CC -- Although I think same reason as above, we COULD win this one riding a goalie on fire if we can start scoring a little, but I'll give it to CC UND vs. DU -- DU remembers the Sioux huge comeback and craps themselves, blowout UND vs. CC -- Lam doesn't choke, Bachman feels the freshman pressure. Honestly, if UMN somehow makes it this far, I call it a 1-0 game, going either way strictly based on great goaltending (Let the homer comments rain down on me) Quote
AKSioux Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 But the important question here is how many OT's will St. Cloud and Minnesota go? Quote
gopherz Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 But the important question here is how many OT's will St. Cloud and Minnesota go? Gophers win 1-0 in double overtime, Kangas finally gets his shutout, even though SCSU gets +/- 40 shots again. Continues his climb up the goaltending ranks. I think UND game is a rout, CC game is close regardless, Gophers win is my only guarantee thus far what do you expect? Quote
gopherz Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 college hockey news wcha bracket That bracket is put together terribly....It looks like the winner of UMN/SCSU is Denver.... Quote
Goon Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 You think the Gophers might be tired? Look for the Goofs to not win another game the rest of the spring. Heck the excuse is already in place. Quote

dagies Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 SCSU over MN in a close, low scoring contest. Sioux over Denver in something like 4-2 CC over SCSU 4-1 Denver over MN in the 3rd place game 2-1 CC over the Sioux 3-1 in the Championship game. (That's a head pick, not a heart pick) Quote
