Whomever finishes higher in the PWR between SCSU and UND (assuming both stay #1 seeds) will get the X. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll find out when Moy does his bracket next week where he puts UND and St. Cloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Cloud is pretty much a lock in St. Paul just like Michigan is a lock in Cincinnati If UND is a 1 seed in front of St. Cloud, they will be placed in St. Paul. The 1 seeds always get to play closest to home beginning with the number 1 overall, then number 2 overall, etc.. The NCAA would love for this to happen because of UND's potential attendance turnout in St. Paul compared to St. Cloud. Cincinnati's attendance will be poor regardless of who goes there, including Michigan. Look at the B1G tourney attendance in Detroit last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Wet Blanket Alert: PWR only matters if you don't win your autobid.

It matters for seeding- which determines where you go if you're not a host school and whether or not you are home or away for purposes of things like line changes.

GoalieMask Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Vs. Goldy in their backyard and then a date with Denver to go to Tampa? Yikes...that is not a bracket for widows and orphans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 East Regional (Albany): 13 Omaha vs. 4 Providence 11 Harvard vs. 5 Boston College Northeast Regional (Worcester): 16 Minnesota State vs. 1 Quinnipiac 10 Boston University vs 8 Yale Midwest Regional (Cincinnati): 15 Robert Morris vs. 3 St. Cloud State 9 Notre Dame vs. 6 Michigan West Regional (St. Paul): 14 Minnesota vs. 2 North Dakota 12 Massachusetts-Lowell vs. 7 Denver That would certainly be the Bracket of Death for UND once again should something like that happen. Cincy would come down to whether UM's horrible defense/goalie could stop SCSU's lethal PP (it wouldn't)...and then if UM could score enough goals to offset them (they might). Worcester is the easiest bracket...three teams that have been up and down this season and one team that loves to tie but is somehow holding onto that #1 slot still. They won't be able to tie with a spot to the F4 on the line. I would think the winner of the BC/Harvard game advances in Albany. I can't see PC making another run this year. I love this time of year...games are starting to mean something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Really don't like the idea of playing Goofers in the cities when they are the dog. I also think that UND and DU and SCSU are the cream of the west, so having two of them play pre-frozen four is too bad. In my opinion, two of those three should make the four.

How many times have we heard that kind of refrain in the past where teams aren't scary, yet have ended up winning. With us it has been Michigan, Yale a couple times and so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 When I think of dangerous teams come tourney time, I usually think of potential. The gophers will always have a lot of talent, their problem is a lack of consistent effort. In a multigame series that is still a problem, but in a one-and-done scenario, they are always dangerous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that a goaltender that they consider their MVP, and in a one and done he could steal one. Of course, the fact that he has to be their MVP reveals some underlying problems as well, but the point still stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm personally hoping that there's not a first round matchup of Notre Dame vs Michigan. If that happens, I'll bet ESPN ignores everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
