Bast, who hasn't played since Oct. 19 at Minnesota State-Mankato, is skating again and went through all of the team's drills Monday. While it's doubtful that he plays at Western Michigan this weekend, Bast should be ready to return after Christmas break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they did run rough shot on UM so it still may have happened with a full slate of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome for this guy. Totally deserving, in my book. This is a dream for Canadian kids. I hope against hope they don't use him going to college as a way to hold him off like they've done to countless other kids. The only way I see him not making Canada based on talent and not politics is if he gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly have been weeks where the same situation has happened in the last 5 years without it happening. So that’s good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fitting the style the Canadians plan to play this year could be a factor. (I don't know their plans; I do know you have to pick players for your system.)

The Sicatoka Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Driving home from the St. Cloud sweep at 10-1-2, and hearing on the radio that the next four were @Minn and @WMU, I figured 12-x-y at the break would be solid. Instead we see GF-GA of 21-7 and 14-1-2. Impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattim Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Using “What If” calculator, if the Sioux only split/get 3 point each series their remaining conference games, I could not find a scenario where they would finish lower than 3rd in the conference. Assuming they do better than split, they will have home ice and be a #1 or #2 seed in March. Let’s just hope they stay healthy. As well as they are playing, they have excellent healthy scratches each series so they can handle a couple short term injuries, just none of those season ending ones. I’d like to see Thome on December 28. They’ll need to replace Pinto and JDB for that one too. Any chance Albrecht will see the ice this year?

But, if either one is a 1-seed and the other is not, you can absolutely book it, we'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mankato ends up the number one overall seed, they’ll get placed first at the regional closest to home, which is Colorado. I have seen very few (if any) scenarios in the last 10 plus seasons where the overall number one was placed at a regional that wasn’t closest to home. People can argue on attendance all they want, that didn’t give us the St Paul regional in 2016 over SCSU when they were seeded higher either. We would’ve brought more fans there but NCAA didn’t care.

I didn’t make the rules that decided Allentown, PA is in the “Midwest.” I’m just saying this is the normal process. If the Committee wants to set a precedent that creates an exception to this, well, that’s up to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
