Siouxman Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Until SCSU proves they can win a Final 16 game, I have a difficult time believing they will move on. I don't believe they have ever won one. It might have something to do with the fact they play most of their games on Olympic ice. They did look good on Saturday night, but still wound up losing.

No Gophers, Sioux, or either Boston school...that has to be really rare but I'm sure it breaks nobody else's hearts. Crazy times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played in the 2013 Frozen Four, and played in the 2014 and 2015 Regional Finals. They have won tourney games. Though they do have a lot of puzzling losses.

Godsmack Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Did Mankato get hosed? They finished higher than UMass and yet get to “host” in Providence with a match up against the Friars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they have ever won one. If my math is correct, 10 of the 16 teams in this year’s field have never won it all. That sounds like a potentially fun group of teams to me — much like seeing Yale, Union College, and Providence College all win national titles in recent years. As far as St Cloud goes, even Tim Hennessy must think that “puck luck” has to turn in their favor sometime. And, yes, Siouxman, St Cloud has a Frozen Four appearance on its resumé. The Huskies lost to Quinnipiac in the FF in 2013. QU would ultimately lose to the afore-mentioned Yale in the title game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godsmack Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I just got home from my beer league game and watched the recording of the NCAA Men’s selection show and whenever they talked about the Fargo regional, it just hit me how disappointing it is that UND isn’t there. What a wasted opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I mis-spoke....I meant, Trainwreck should be playing in the Fargo regional. Had we just beaten Soft Dump in the Corner as well as the Pink Tacos, I think our ticket would’ve been punched!

Maybe this will be their year, or not. That was a hell of a game with UMD in St. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
