    Our game is turning into a future B1G conference game. I'm quite pleased with how Michigan is playing, and haven't really paid attention to Notre Dame. From what I hear, they play a similar game to us, so at a minimum, it should be a blast to watch!
    No ND plays like BGSU. Not like you at all. But they can score if you're not careful. And they are used to a bigger sheet than you have.

        Two things-

        First, being that the regional is a NHL sized rink, I'm not sure how that matters.

        Second, isn't the sheet that Notre Dame plays on NHL sized? The other rink is Olympic and use for more stuff at Compton.

The hard-core fans plan their schedules around this stuff. This is the highlight of their year.
          I took off last Friday for my bachelor party to go to the HE Tournament. And I'm taking two weeks for the honeymoon in June. So I Don't exactly have the extra time to take. I'll be taking a late & long lunch but probably have to watch the second half of the game at my desk. Had it worked out differently, I'd be driving to Cincy from DC tonight. Sorry I'm not as "Hard-core" as you and that I don't have a job flipping patties at UBurger .
          GO NU!

            IIRC, E.F. Hutton went broke and had to be rescued. Will the "Fighting Predators" become the prey?

                Just the name. The players themselves just got richer.

                    Priorities. Admittedly, my 4 hour drive to Cinci is much shorter. But I also have a wedding, honeymoon, Frozen Four trip, family that's 1,000 miles away and manage my 15 days of vacation a year. Most of my vacation days are used on college hockey (which may seem weird to some, but I love it) and visiting my family in Texas. I chose to skip my conference tourney in favor of regionals and the FF (which I'm going to, even though I don't expect my team to be there).

                    I assume you had fun at the HE tourney. Maybe you made the right choice going to those games. If you can't watch the Friday 2 pm game live, then record it and avoid any media until you can watch it.


                    Enough of that though. Puck drops in 25 hours! I can't wait. It's been too long since my team was in the tourney (when I became a fan ~2001, I just assumed Michigan would be in the NCAA tourney every year, sort of like I assumed Michigan went to a bowl game every year). I don't expect them to go far this year, but I expect to watch some great hockey this weekend.

                      19-1-1 down the stretch is impressive no matter who you play, but 12 of those games were against teams in the bottom 40% of the RPI rankings. I am predicting a 5-1 win for the Fighting Hawks.

                        With the game being on ESPNU, will the game be on their streaming service watch ESPN?

                            I believe the games on ESPNU, ESPN2 and so on will also be streamed.
                            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                              That would be a great result, and it would be nice to see two or three NCHC schools in the FF, but 5-1 seems much too optimistic. NU has tied Q and beaten BC, UML, and ND (twice) since the break. They can play.

                                Notre Dame fans: Ali Thomas is listed on the roster as a junior, yet has played 0 games this year. Anyone know the situation?
                                tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.
