My problem isn't with Monty.
It's with a "nothing to gain, everything to lose" game.

There's that.......but it's still a meaningful game in the big picture. Treat it as such.

Denver has done the same thing every year they've been in the third place game.  

Pros:

-Zero chance of top guys getting hurt before real season starts next weekend, and you don't want your best players having runs taken at them in a meaningless hockey game.

Cons:

Starting a bit of a losing skid going into the NCAA's, giving your players the mentality that not every game they lace em up for your university is of the utmost importance.

Sucks for fans who bought tickets too, because you could see a really good hockey game between two top five teams.  Instead one team will go through the motions.  Then again, how many Denver fans are actually there?

Maybe it's time to get rid of the 3rd place game.  Really.

Yea but if the same person starts it every time then they are guarenteed victory. This one is way better than that other crappy one. Unfortunantely the damage has already been done so UMD will win tonight 5-2. Sad but at least we are going to the regionals.

Everybody notice this trolls many different screen names? 

Edit..

Just seen Cratter's post after I did this.

Sorry Sic, just seen yours..

To beat Duluth u need to be in their face all the time they play aweful when pressured - If we let them set up or gain entry with no pressure they are hard to stop

Isn't that most teams though? Obviously UMD has more talent than most teams this year but any team with time to set up will do better than being pressured. Just saying.

I have posted this on a couple of other threads, but figured the more the better:

Does anyone know of a venue where we could watch the Sioux hockey games next week with other UND fans in the Phoenix area?  O'Sullivan's two bars have apparently closed their doors as of last year, so I guess they are not an option this year.

Our flight to AZ will leave on Tuesday, so we would appreciate hearing any info on this before Tuesday morning.

All lines the same with the exception of Yon in for Wilkie on 4th line.

I like Yon Bowen Gornall together.

D pairings the same.
