Espn really set a new low standard for selection shows. One guy and an analyst on the phone for 3 min. Used to have two guys in studio and multiple coaches with video feeds. I know they don't give two shits about hockey but wow.

I know that Moy is never wrong with his predictions, but he's got to get something wrong one of these years.  

He nailed it again. 

Maybe the committee secretly just uses his brackets so they don't have to do any work.

And correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I saw they had UND's record as "36-4"....isn't it 30-6-4?

[GoalieMask]

Let the games begin.  Frozen Four #22 and Natty #8 in our sights. 

Qunnipiac, BC and Denver:  See you in Tampa.

Providence was last year's last at-large - who went on to win it all.

They open against UMD, this year's last at-large.

It just seems like hockey is a non-event to ESPN now days.   The worst is that there isn't much that can be done to bump it up either.

"LITTLE RHODIE!  BIG MAN ON CAMPUS!"

Never gets old hearing that call.

Seven out of the last eight National Champions have been from the East.

The exception was Duluth.

ESPN could care  less about hockey 97% of the time.  It's all NBA.

I'm sure "the boys" predicted Northeastern upsetting both BC and UMass-Lowell and winding up in that bracket.  Some folks act like the UMDs and SCSUs of the world are mite programs compared to UND.  Guess what, siouxweet?  Their "boys" wanted to win too.    

Quite the contrary, I think one of those two will be your national champ.

Yeah, I saw that, too. They must have called someone at UND and asked about our record, and the person said, "Thirty, six, and four", and the ESPN guy said, "Okay, thirty-six and four. Got it! Thanks!"

Between SCSU and UMD?

I actually don't think either of them will make it out of their region.
SCSU was outplayed IMO both nights...Denver had a lot of chances hop over their sticks, and UMD outchanced them pretty handily.
I could see UMD getting a non-NCHC ref that calls all the interference they do and they'll be on the PK all game.

[Godsmack]

From my vantage point DU controlled play almost the entire 3rd period against SCSU but could only muster 5 shots. St. Cloud kept DU to the perimeter and prevented any of those passing lanes and back door passes that DU likes to make.

Beware of Boston University.  That's going to be a well-rested team coming into next weekend.

No, they will be OK...they play the second game in St. Paul.

[ND WINS!!!!]

Oh good, does that mean you will stop showing your support for the Sioux? I hope so...

[Hayduke]

Oh boy. 

 

We get a team that is 20-1-2 in their last 23 games... The boys better not think beyond Northeastern.     All four Boston schools in the tourney.  We brag about the NCHC, but that is something to think about. 

 

Hate to be Debbie downer.  We have just as good a chance to win this as about any of about 8 teams in this tourney.  I'm hoping in our 14th straight year, the puck luck come to our side...
