The Whistler Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 The game is on KCNN in GF if you're stuck at work. However I'm sure that if you're stuck at work you won't be reading this on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm pulling for North Dakota today! Other than that, doesn't matter who wins to me! Have to beat the best to be the best, and we have to beat BC first and foremost! GO SIOUX!!!!!!! (Okay, secretly, I really don't want to face Maine again if we do win tonight! Go Spartans! ) I don't care but apparently the Maine coach Tim Whitehead has taken a beating this season and the fans have been calling for his head. Apparently his wife has been reading USCHO.COM and doesn't like the message board talk. I was shocked to know his wife read that thing. I even stuck up for him and said how can you fire him...

PCM Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I sort of like Michigan State. I'd like to see the battle of the midget goalies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpNorthFan Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Thanks for the updates, I'm at work and can't get any of the live stuff. They just don't want us to have Windows Media Player. Now if only I can figure out how to get scoring updates for the Sioux game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeypat15 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 They haven't announced anything officially yet, but I do see some empty seats along the boards (lower level), though there seems to be a pretty fair sized crowd. Midday on a Thursday in St. Louis, thats all you gotta say, not a huge hockey city, with no local team playing in it. I'm sure tonight will be packed for what many are calling the main event. Along with Saturday. I think the NCAA has to go to more hockey towns even if it does give some advantage to specific teams. Just not for conference tournaments (Final Five). I can't see Tampa Bay in a few years being good for ticket sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpNorthFan Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Get sick really fast!!! Haha! I wish! Home is about an hour away so I'd miss all the good stuff. I can get home in time for the Sioux game but I don't want to watch it alone...so I'm going to a baseball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 In my opinion, there are A LOT of empty seats...maybe it's still filling in, and it will prolly be a lot more full for UND/BC, but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 So far it seems that Shepherd is staying out of the game for the most part. We'll see if that changes as the game goes on. Maybe this will show how much of a d*ck he really is at the Ralph. Anyone catch the line judges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxdonyms Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Melrose apparently thinks North Dakota is playing! EDIT: On top of it, it was an inaccurate statement regarding North Dakota, as he stated that North Dakota doesn't have the PP numbers that Maine does, but apparently, we did okay against Notre Dame.

I agree that they have to go to cities near colleges with actual contender teams. Tampa Bay will probably be a lousy site, like Anaheim back in '99 or whatever year it was. But say they went to the Ralph (hypothetically), win or lose for the Sioux we would all still be there regardless of who is in it for the good hockey. Same thing goes for places like: United Center (WCHA, CCHA) MSG (Hockey East) Back in Columbus Arent't they doing Ford Field too (Great site IMO) And though it will never happen a Canadian city would be a sold out crowd no matter what. Also Vegas would get a lot of fans of college hockey to travel IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
