Smoggy Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I'm glad the Dogs put Wisconsin away, because I'd rather play UW than the Gophs in the play-in game. That is if we make it. I really do think there will be an upset in the first round. I'm thinking UAA will pull it off against UW again. I wouldn't consider the Dogs beating us an upset. Also Mich. Tech will take one from Denver. The bad news in all of this is that more than likely the play-in game winner will have to play the next afternoon. Thank the WCHA's love of the Gophers for that one.

farce poobah Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I think we'll win it. Sioux!!! are the hottest team in the league coming in, with a 4-game unbeaten streak, the longest of ANY WCHA team. (except Minnesota and UMD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Congrats to Bucky on a big finish this year ...And the reward is, they get to play at Dane County Coliseum because of the H.S. Girls B-Ball Tourney!! Too sweet!! Now where are those clowns complaining about the Sat/Sun games against UND last week because of the HS hockey tourney...

Cratter Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 All you need to know is the team that has played in the play-in game has never won the Final Five. Sioux have no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 All you need to know is the team that has played in the play-in game has never won the Final Five. Sioux have no chance. We should probably worry about getting past UMD first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Yes, getting through Duluth is no sure thing. This series worries me greatly. However, if we were to get through Duluth, my Final Five tournament exp would be more fun if we played MN on Thursday night. Then we'd have the satisfacting of having finished them, and then I could still have the anticipation of a Sioux game on Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you're guaranteed to see 2 more games involving your team! This weekend will be fun!! Good luck to both teams, and may the team that works the hardest come out on top!

PCM Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Good luck to both teams, and may the team that works the hardest come out on top! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm fairly certain that whichever team scores the most goals will come out on top.

Lots of fans picking this series (UMD vs UND) as the road team win series; Sioux better prove them all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Weren't they going to show that game this year? I thought I read someone post where they said as much. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember a post that said all final 5 games would be on, but the schedule on the NCCA site does not show that one game. http://www.ncaasports.com/broadcast/schedule/menshockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 If the Goofs win Thursday - you can bet that they will play Friday night <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gophers will not play on Thursday, since they are a 3 seed. The 2 vs. 3 semi will be Friday night, while the 1 vs 4/5 will be on Friday afternoon (assuming the Gophers beat Mankato this weekend).

farce poobah Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I think Thursday will be an exciting game - Mankato vs. Anchorage. Sioux dominate CC in the Friday afternoon semi. It all gets fuzzy after that ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Ranger Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I think it is absolutely ridiculous that the Thursday winner is going to have to play Friday afternoon. No wonder why no team has ever won who has to play in the play in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's all about the $. The Gophs, by far, have the largest market, the home venue and FSN all on their side. Heck, if the Gophs didn't make the Final Five :-) FSN would probably air a "Gopher Classic" Friday night instead of showing another team play.

iceberg Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 All 5 games of the final 5 will be on FSN North INCLUDING the Fri Afternoon game I posted this a few weeks ago http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3757&hl= FSN North will air every game from the WCHA Final Five. Historically the Friday afternoon semifinal has not been televised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radionews Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I think I should know this by now but......The Sioux (if they win the series this weekend) are playing the play-in game on Thursday BUT if the lower team bumps off the # 1, 2, or 3 team this weekend would the sioux skip the play-in game or would 2 of the lower seeds have to bump 1, 2 or 3 off for the sioux to skip thursday. as i type this I THINK 2 lower seeds would need to win? Maybe I should just get back to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 CC or Denver wins the Final Five. Both the Sioux and Gophers have a better chance at winning the NCAAs than the Final Five. Wisconsin is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 If any two of the top four teams get knocked off and the Sioux win, then they do not play the play in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
