"when we play our game we strongly believe NOBODY can compete with us" (coming from the 4 seed in a 4 team bracket).

Really? Nobody can compete with Western Michigan hockey when they are playing good?

I guess I find that cocky and preposterous but whatever.

Obviously any team can compete with anyone on any given night, but I would hope my team has confidence in itself. The only thing that I would consider a stretch is about the amount of fans that will supposedly take over Xcel Energy Center from Kalamazoo.

I didn't notice anything "cocky", in my opinion. What do you want them to say?

They didn't sound cocky me either. Confident in their ability to win. Hopefully, they don't, but hey, that is the attitude to have.

No doubt. I would guess that there will be less than 500 actual WMU fans in attendance. Sure, the Gopher fans will cheer for WMU, but the article makes it sound like thousands of fans will be there from Kalamazoo.

Unless it's a Minnesota-North Dakota regional final, I don't think any game will exceed 10,000. 12,000 max if those two aren't playing each other.

North Dakota, Boston College, Michigan, Miami.........I just have this funny feeling about UND this year, I know it's so unlikely but I just have some gut feeling. Who knows, anything can happen if the boys keep playing the way they are and now they really believe in their team after the Gopher comeback.

BC, Minnesota, Miami, and Denver.

Minnesota is gonna be more motivated than ever and no team rides late season momentum straight into the ground like the Sioux. Hope I'm wrong, but I've been hoping ever since I enrolled 12 years ago. At least they won't have to worry about not being in the Frozen Four program.

You can never put too little stock in the weak psyche of Lucia coached teams. They just don't get it done unless they have those ridiculously talented rosters of years past to overcome their lack of heart.

That's a +1.

Speaking of prolonged lengths of time, it's been so long since I've posted here that my previous post was accompanied by a Karl Goehring avatar. I guess I should drop in more often.

They should've and I'm guessing they were, which is why they were dominating us for most of the game. They took the foot off the gas too early and UND found that magical switch they seem to possess. I'm guessing Minnesota won't be taking any lead for granted if UND plays them again. If UND jumps to a lead, I doubt the Gophers will quit. They have recent, firsthand evidence that no lead is safe until the final horn sounds.
