Dogs will be a tough out.  I can easily see them winning the national title again.  Good in all areas.

It’s always darkest before the dawn.  I have faith in 15 other teams to get the job done.

Who would you rather have win it?

 

[cberkas]

St. Cloud is my pick followed by Duluth then Mankato.

[DAR]

St Cloud has no tournament pedigree same with Mankato....Both have been high seeds upset in the first round.  We shall see if this year is any different.

Looks like only one autobid will bump a team from the tournament. AIC bumps 16 Penn State. Big difference from last year

Yep, Bowling Green got pretty lucky.

Former Sioux defenseman as head coach?  Gee, let me see . . . .

I know some may not be a fan of this thinking, but I’d still like to see NCHC win the natty this year. Idc who just keep it in conference and keep our league tops in the country.

Just not Denver, since we are both tied at 8!

I usually cheer for the NCHC or WCHA. Which has historically just meant the NCHC

[Wilbur]

Who I hope for in order:

1. Mankato

2. SCSU

3. AIC

4. Notre Dame

5-14: Teams not named Duluth or Denver.

15. Denver

16. North Korea

17. Duluth

Different level of hockey played last night by Duluth and St Cloud than North Dakota the past few seasons. Duluth looks like old tyme Sioux hockey. 

[Big Green]

1 St. Cloud 

2 duluth

3 mankato

4 bowling green

5-13 who cares

14 Notre dame

15 Ohio st

16 Denver

I knew I made the right choice rooting for Duluth last night when, in the late stages of the first overtime, a St. Cloud fan was in such a hurry to get back to the game, he runs by me in the concourse, gets to the stairs leading down to the seats, and cuts in front of another guy who was waiting for a stoppage in play. The guy rightfully said something and this St. Cloud guy started giving him attitude. I thought a fight might break out. Nonetheless, I hope that St. Cloud guy got an unobstructed bird eye view of the game winning goal in the second overtime!

It seems as if their "culture" is a bit different than ours.  Good intense hockey last night.

How are the regional pairings at the frozen 4 determined? I assume it’s a rotation from year to year?  From what I could find it looks like west and mw are on the same side meaning SCSU n UMD can only meet in the semis.

Well, until he got to Duluth, he hadn’t won anything anywhere, so I’m surprised you and the rest of the %gobc would hold him in such high esteem...

And all NCHC teams on the same side too.

Simmer down, Wilbur.  Poolman says the boys are gonna try really hard to finish in the top half of the conference next season.

The region with the #1 overall seed plays the region with the #4 overall seed.

It would be good to keep the championship in the NCHC (except for Denver), but I have to say that I'm definitely rooting for AIC.  Do I think they have a legitimate shot?  Nope.  But I think they have long been the forgotten team of college hockey.  It's one hell of a cinderella story just for that team to make the tourney.

Thanks.

Who remembers the 1984 title game?  Not sure if it was live or replayed when I watched it.  I was pretty young but remember watching it.
