Just think if Miami makes it and gets Penn State in Cincinnati. Just think if, in Moy's scenario, they sent Bemidji (or anybody else, really) to Cincinnati. One and done for PsU.

Goon Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Since we're all in an arguing mood, I am conducting a fan poll to see how the fans on social media rank the teams in the NCHC. Even though DaveK is an non-NCHC fan he can vote, too. You can only vote once. (Click to vote ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I know Minny doesn't enjoy a physical game and WMU brings such. I would say Minny may be a click above us. They are also full of shifty offensive guys which could give WMU problems. It just depends on what kind of refs show up. If the refs swallow their whistles (which they typically do towards the end of the year) WMU may have a better chance. If the WMU gets too physical and starts taking some penalties they're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforcefans Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The west regional in that scenario - setting up us vs. Denver, just like last year's semi... That's got the makings of an instant classic! One where you walk out of the arena, shaking and wide-eyed, fully aware that you just saw something special. Kind of how I left the arena in Tampa last spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyZL Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 21 minutes ago, DaveK said: I think when your favorite team makes the field of 16, you absolutely must respect the fact that each and every one of the other 15 teams is good enough to potentially beat your team. Having said, I would much rather see the Gophers face Western Michigan than the majority of those other teams. That is a team that, on paper, the Gophers should have no problem with 9 times out of 10. The thing I don't like is the concept of putting the Gophers in the same regional as Penn State. Makes it look like an intentional effort to avoid having multiple Big Ten teams in the Frozen Four. Umm....that's how seeding works Dave. 1 vs. 8 No conspiracy theories against the B1G. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably would need to pick the middle teams, too. I am conducting an experiment to see if the Fan Poll matches the Inside Hockey blogger poll.

If I decide to click on your link and participate in this poll, I will first have to do a bit of research in order to come up with a more informed opinion. On the surface, having not followed that conference as closely as a few others, it is very difficult to differentiate between those five teams. They all appear capable of beating anybody in a given game, but none of them stand out to me as scary good like Denver, Duluth, Penn State, UM-Lowell, or BU. My hunch is last year you would not of said the UND Fighting Sioux were not "scary good' despite their outstanding regular season and stellar playoff run to capture their 8th natty, hard to take your opinion serious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
