Big A HG Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Keep us away from Mariucci...Minnesota has not been a good place for us this year. I know it doesn't look like we'll be going there, but you never know what the committee will decide. @MSUM --- split @Duluth --- loss/tie @SCSU --- split @ Xcel --- swept We can't get two wins in a weekend there this year...

Ahh come on...so you would rather go out and play UNH on their home ice?? I don't think so. I am hoping for Mariucci so there can be a ton of green in the crowd including myself. There will be none in Manchester. Also it is time to break out the black jerseys for the tourney....Go Sioux! I HOPE the committee puts us at Mariucci as I am sure almost all Sioux fans do.

CHN and USCHO has us out east for the regional http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2009...atournament.php USCHO they differ on a couple teams the sioux played there way out of the mariucci regional it seems. just needed the win today. now it seems its buzzsaw time playing a home regional host in unh and then 1 seed who we owe revenge on in BU time to go chop some hockey east teams in half like we did out there in 05-06 i believe when we steamrolled BU and BC and won our own litlle beanpot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some can say we don't play well at Mariucci, but it would've had almost a home game feel with all the UND fans. Now we'll probably have to go east.

siouxprideforever Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am going out on a limb! Over the past number of years Hak has had his (our) team struggle to mid season while he found the chemistry that was best for the team. Historically, the team soared in the 2nd half of the season - then fell flat at the Frozen Four. The team fell flat this weekend! After all the line juggling for the 3rd place game part of me thinks that this may have been, either by design or default, strategy to get the team moving forward for the big dance rather than coasting into it. This team can rebuild itself - it has had problems sustaining success. Perhaps this weekend was just the psychological kick in the shorts that this team needed to take off once more. I am confident that Hak will re-align the team, the goaltending coach will help Brad with his playing the puck and we will hit the regionals with only one way left to go - up!

Now we'll probably have to go east. Didn't the NC$$ come out this year with some type of travel savings plan for the tournament. Something about the distance the teams have to travel as being factored into the assignment of regions process. If so, I would say it would be cheaper to have Duluth and UND bus to MSP than have either one of them have to fly for some distance. That flying is not cheap! Additionally, with Denver as a hub it might be cheaper having them have to fly to Grand Rapids or points east. Just wishful thinking on my part! Actually, I believe that I am mistaken. I think the rule applies to the method of travel AFTER the team is assigned. IF it is below a certain distance then the team has to take the bus.
