You'd think with all the non-com games the B1G has had to fill that they would be interested. It might just be that we haven't discussed it with them lately. It's really too bad, considering they are certainly two of the most storied programs in NCAA hockey history. A little bit of trivia. The last time Michigan played against UND in Grand Forks? February 23, 1980, the day after the "Miracle on Ice" game. Yeah, I should edit my post. The last time we played Michigan in the regular season was in 1980. As some others pointed out, we did play them here in the NCAA's in the "Holy Cross" regional. Quote

BU is going to be a very tough out later on this season. I don't disagree that Harper is a good player. I was just disagreeing with the statement that was made that said the BU players were 6 of the best players in the tourney. 1 Quote

I mean, I believe it... but that's kind of a shame that they are so high on their own farts that they won't make a trip for a non-conf game in 37 years. Quote

I always enjoy beating Michigan in the playoffs. Not sure why, as there isn't a ton of bad blood due to lack of games, but it is definitely fun to beat those guys. '06 game in GF was fun to watch (Not to mentions HC beating the Goofs) BUT '11 still stings, and will sting for quite a while. Winning #8 helped, but 2011 was one of the best squads I've seen. 2 Quote

Will never forget the anticipation inside the Xcel that April night in 2011. If we score one single goal to open the floodgates, we win the national championship. I truly believe that. 1 Quote

Eerily similar circumstances too. I suppose we're all different, but two that I'll always feel that got away were 1982-83 and 1998-99. In 1982-83 we had a good core of the previous year's championship team coming back, plus we had the Frozen Four at the old Ralph. We were basically a triple overtime goal against Wisconsin away from playing 4 NCAA tournament games at home for the championship. That 1998-99 team was one of the most dominant I've seen. 29-3-2 in the regular season. 11-1-2 on the road in the WCHA that year. Just a crazy good team that come the playoffs started to doubt itself. It started when Mankato took us to three games in the first round, followed up by a loss to Denver in our favorite place to play, Target Center, and then a lethargic performance against BC. Just a huge, slow letdown for me that year. 1 Quote

This was back in their old CCHA days when they only had about 6 non-con games available each year. They were playing Wisconsin and Minnesota is some b.s. series each November, and then they had the GLI. Claimed they couldn't give up the money by playing any other away games. 14 hours ago, Siouxperfan7 said: Maybe we will just have to schedule to play them twice at their place to get the series started since they are being so arrogant and unwilling to go on the road! (This sounds familiar) This Mich team has 9 Natty's. We can't let them beat us in the playoffs for quite some time. Only team ahead of us. Quote

I'd say let's go get the next couple before Mich. does. 4 Quote

cberkas Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 UNH beats Northeastern 5-3 UConn beats Maine 6-3 What has happened to Maine, their best two wins are splits with Lowell and Quinnipiac. The fire Tim Whitehead crowed has to be kicking themselves. So far they are winless on the road and I can only see them winning 4 games the rest of the year (2 of those 4 are on the road). Quote

I had a coach that would make us leave all the sticks in the room for one or two practices a season. Hint: Some of those were pretty fun (puck-to-skate work); some ... notsomuch ... #bagskate ...
