If that's the case, Harvard would likely be coming out to Fargo which I think would be hilarious/. Yeah, can you picture the Boston Ivy types landing at Hector? As spread out as Fargo is, with such light traffic, it'd probably confuse the heck out of some of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I don't really want to have to play any of the 1 seeds. However, I think having an east coast team have to travel out to Fargo as a 1 seed would start quite the shitshow that western teams have complained about for a while. And the reason they'd put Harvard there as opposed to any of the other 3 is to avoid those conference matchups - which also gives the NCHC a chance for a all NCHC frozen four.

Other years, I'd be ok with this. This year, and the way UND has played against those top NCHC teams ... no thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exciting, just a bad final outcome for the good guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We snuck 2 or 3 cases of beer up into our dorm room in a hockey bag before the game against the Gophers. Bottling clinking and clanking down the hallway. Great time!!

SiouxTupa Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'm sure Denver would love playing und for a chance at revenge, but not so sure they'd love doing it in a small, packed-to-the-gills Scheels Arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Pretty easy formula. Win 2 games against St Cloud this weekend, and win at least one game against UMD, Denver, or WMU in Minneapolis and we are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over half the teams playing these next two weekends will loose a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked great last weekend and on Friday night against Omaha but then follow up with the Saturday game against omaha. Maybe, just maybe, they can play consistent and get out of there in two games this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, just maybe, they can play consistent and get out of there in two games this weekend. If this team can consistently play their game for a full 60 minutes, they have a chance against anyone. Unfortunately, the overall skill and depth of this team is nowhere near last years team (not that we can expect that every year). I think that means some games you will need a full team effort, some games your stars to step up, some games you need some 3rd and 4th line scoring, and some games you may just need outstanding goal tending to steal one. What I do know is, if you make the tourney, you have a shot to win it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Young teams have a tendency to be inconsistant, that's both us and St. Cloud. We're at home, but that hasn't been much of an asset. We're more talented team, and that is where we should prevail. Should be exciting games this weekend.

What I do know is, if you make the tourney, you have a shot to win it. Of course we all know we would be a bit down this year but I also do not see as many dominant teams this year either. Last year there were at least 5 really good teams. This year I would say 2-3 tops. The inconsistent play has been hard to explain I guess. Like you said, just get in and see what happens! Edit- Part of me still can't get over losing to CC that Saturday night so that is affecting my thoughts on them. I left that rink speechless that night.

My point is I am more and more starting to feel our fans drift into Gopher fan territory with arrogance and lack of respect for other programs. To be fair, I don't know if runaroundsioux thought it would be funny because an eastern team and #1 seed at that would have to travel west to play or if he doesn't think much of the Harvard hockey program?

It's likely due to the difference between Harvard Square and the cultural wasteland that is Fargo. The shock was demonstrated by the BU player that tweeted a pic after landing at GFK.
