Michigan. I hope I am so, so wrong about UND, but I have a bad feeling... What about it? Their 30 wins or their 6 losses? I just don't understand why people are less confident in this team than in recent years. Just SO much more talent on this squad. 4 Quote

This year, I took a different route. I officially have St. Cloud over BC for the title. Other than a couple blips, they've been the most consistent, and have the depth to do it. Plus, even though they have a really tough regional, it will be friendly territory. I have the same title matchup with BC on top. As much as I hate SCSU, I'd rather you're right than I am. Of course, I hope we're both wrong. Quote
Fetch Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I should do one where UMD pulls one out of their AZZ again Quote

Nobody knows how Cam will handle pressure from "big games." We've all seen it before. Quote

Lots of good teams it appears this year. Hopefully by now UND don't take the (especially "smaller") eastern teams lightly. They gotta be the favorites by now.... 1 Quote
siouxnami Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I wish I could do a homer & non homer version... Really like Denver right now. Quote
MafiaBoy Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 BC? Denver? St Cloud? Denver? Mods, isn't it about time for the ban-hammer for some of these trolls? 2 Quote

Denver will be tough, especially since they don't have to travel all the way east. UND vs Denver, and Boston College vs Mass Lowell ...... who could I have possibly picked as champions ...... this is subject to change before tomorrow Quote

Cratter Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Maybe it's the culture of the fans and media. High expectations and a media guy following their every move. Maybe the pressure is too much. There's wasn't nearly as much pressure in the late 90's and 2000 when they last won one...or for the last few Champs. Quote

The odds of this not happening at least once over the past 14 years must be outrageous. I just wonder if there is something internally wrong with this program. Or is it just "bad luck"? Quote

TinyTimmay Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 First time participant as well. Took SCSU over BC in the final, but cheering for the Hawks to win it all. Quote

I think you could also say that the odds of what has happened based upon the amount of times UND has made the playoffs, advanced to the Frozen Four, and actually played in several title games is outrageous as well. It's not easy winning a national championship, so just getting as far as they do every year is nothing short of remarkable. 2 Quote
