Nor do I. But if I were a Gopher fan, I wouldn't go around making public predictions about such things. :D

I am surprised Wooger wasn't muzzled after last season glorious prediction in the NCAA's.

It wasn't meant to sound cocky. Trust me, I am not very confident in this team right now. But I will still be shocked if they drop one this weekend.

In that case, I apologize. But this has been such a strange year that nothing would surprise me. I never thought I'd see the Sioux be swept by UAA, MTU and a mediocre Wisconsin team, finish in third place and be undefeated against the two teams that finished above them. I don't think anyone expected the Sioux to sweep the Gophers in their own barn, but it happened. I think the Gophers will win their series against UAA. Would I be shocked if they dropped a game? Not at all.

No offense, but these predictions are getting pretty tired.

How about something real challenging . . . . League assignments of its refereeing corps.

UM-UAA --- Derek Shepherd

SCSU-UMD --- Marko Hunt

UND-MSU-M --- Todd Anderson

DEN-WI --- Scott Zelkin

CC-MTU --- Randy Schmidt.

Don Adam, Jon Campion, and the rest ride the pine.

Wow. DU/WI would end up being a really good series. UND would almost continuously be down a man, Hunt will continuously miss obvious penalties, Shepherd will call a good game one night a terrible one the next, and Schmidt will just blow 2-3 calls per game.

The good news? No players will be seriously injured thanks to Don Adam riding the pine.

Doesn't a new ref come in for the third game of a series?

Pretty good but Zelkin hasn't reffed a game all year. I read on the USCHO boards that he is working in Chicago so Don Adam might get the call yet.

My picks

UM-UAA --- Derek Shepherd

SCSU-UMD --- Bill Mason

UND-MSU-M --- Don Adam

DEN-WI --- Marko Hunt

CC-MTU --- Todd Anderson

However I would really like it if we got Friesema. He's only reffed 8 WCHA games this year so its a long shot, but I enjoyed him during the AA series at the Ralph.

Without reading the whole thread...and because I just don't know:

How is it decided who goes to the Final 5?

The five teams that win this weekends series?

The top five teams in the WCHA, after this weekend?

I thought I knew, but then heard something else.

The winners of the 5 series this weekend will be seeded and play at the Final 5 with the 2 lowest seeded teams playing on Thursday.

The teams are ranked 1-10 right now.

1 plays 10

2 plays 9

3 plays 8

4 plays 7

5 plays 6

The 5 winners go to the Final 5. The two lowest seeds winners of 4 and 7 and 5 and 6 play the Thursday play-in game. The highest seed plays the winner of the play-in games.

If I have it pegged right with help from PCM, the only way that the Sioux will not play the 2:05 pm semifinal is if UM and SCSU lose their series' this weekend.

Youre dreaming if you think AA can skate with UM on the road, with that said I see UM losing to their next opponent.

I WASN'T DREAMING, BABY! AA JUST BEAT THE GOPHERS IN OT!!

CAN YOU FEEL THAT MISTER!!!:lol:!!!! *humps the air Ace Ventura style*

Good call, the gophs really had their hands full in that first game.

You can talk if tommorows game is within 5.

Nope. I'll talk if it goes to OT. I really don't see the Gophers losing today, but last nights game proved that any team can skate with any team in the WCHA. We have a great league.
