Look at that Facebook group or stick a fork in my eye …

Didn't have the heart to tell them that Alaska and Michigan Sate would have been next in, then Notre Dame and Northeastern  but I saw one guy thought they should expand the field to 20 for us.

The “strength of schedule” element was hilarious.  Miami had 3 conference wins all season long - 1 of them against UND. Enough said.

Puts the 1 seed at a disadvantage having to play in what they will call a road atmosphere

But what if the #1 seed has to travel to a host school’s barn? Seems like the NCAA is even more against that scenario.

Crazy for such an evenly played game that Michigan has 4 PP chances but PSU only has one.

1 seeds always host 

[The Sicatoka]

139 shot attempts, 72 on goal. 

That was November for UND.

You mean before they were totally in favor of it?  Cough, cough, 1998, cough, cough.

If we can find a way to make that work, count me in.

MafiaMan got his wish.
That was quick

Next goal wins? 

Said it when it was 1-0. 

[Kevin G]

Dang it. Michigan wins.

[Dustin]

Seems like a decent Michigan contingent as well. 

[The Sicatoka]

Challenge …. 

[brianvf]

Challenge for too many men?

[cowboys5xsbs]

go Qu 

[The Sicatoka]

Not too many men, clearly on side. Good.

If not for DU and Harvard going “poopy pants” I’d have a clean bracket so far. 

[brianvf]

Rank order of remaining teams, based on me "wanting" them to win the title:

1. Quinnipiac - Not a fan of Pecknold, but at least it keeps the title out of B10 and HE.
2. Ohio St - could honestly flip OSU & PSU, first title
3. Penn St - could honestly flip OSU & PSU, first title
4. BU - they get their 6th, keeps title out of B10
5. Michigan - don't want them to hit double digits first, but my hatred of UMN prevents me from putting them ahead
6. Minnesota - I hope they get crushed and then have Cooley, Knies, LaCombe, Brodzinski, Nelson, Faber, Johnson, and Close all leave/sign (first part not very probable...second part quite probable)

Looks like it will be cheering for QU or for the building to blow up.

[Dustin]

Lots of titles between 3 of the 4 schools, but long droughts, too.  I was hoping the final four would have a little more new blood.  Would like to see Q get over the hump.

I have a perfect bracket in three regionals.
My miss was picking DU over Cornell and to advance out of their region.

Next game: 

April 6, 4pm CT, Minnesota vs BU

All things aside, I think the frozen four will be very entertaining and probably a lot of energized fans in the building.

This FF should have some great hockey.
