    I'm going to assume we get Denver, the number 1 team. here's my report on them.
    I've seen them about three times. They are a puck control team primarily. they play a very similar game to BGSU, except, the forwards are very high skill, soft hands type guys. Second they have real good defensemen who do everything they can to transition you very quickly.Their defense reminds me of ours. They do not like to have the puck in their end and do what they can to get it out quick. the goaltending is very good.
    They try to hem you in to your own zone at your blue line and get that transition going. They like to forecheck two guys with one guy back to clean things up. They really emphasize wining the face-off as a way to get the puck on their sticks and control the flow of the game. You have to win those face-offs to keep the game from getting out of hand.
    When UND played them, UND purposefully sent the puck to certain guys and avoided sending it in the zone to other guys. They also were very physical in the neutral zone to slow Denver's transition. Denver also is very good at transitioning to defense.
    They are a real good team obviously but compared to other team i've seen, they deserve the number 1 rank. Right now the only other team in all of college hockey as good as them is Lowell.
    As far as UND, not as fast as Denver, but very good in their structure and very physical. Denver has more scoring talent but UND is very solid defensively. I'd say Fargo is the group of death.

      My goodness. What a game. Lifted the roof off that building.
      Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

        I think it should be DU vs MTU in Cincinnati, not sure it will be though.

          Good tweets by Tech Hockey Guide thanking Mel for all the recent accomplishments. GLI, host playoffs, NCAA tourney, McNaughton and Broadmoor. Some of this may have been helped with realignment but it doesn't happen if you're a bad team. Thanks Mel!

              It was a great game to be at. The atmosphere was tremendous. A game I will remember for the ages. Go get'em in the NCAA's Huskies. Just win them before OT!

                  Congratulations Huskies! Great to see the community step out on the ice to celebrate with the team after the award ceremony. That is college hockey.

                    My calculations say Tech vs. Denver in Cincy

                      I was at my brother in law's wedding in San Francisco I could only follow on Facebook, when I finally saw Tech live streaming the celebration, I cheered, luckily I was outside at the time. I saw the replay of the winning goal, way to go Hanna! To me, that's the most beautiful goal I've ever seen. Let's go get some more hardware!

                        I liked the fan Dirk was interviewing when people were on the ice that said he was in bed since Tuesday and this was his first day out since then. Dirk says, great and you are talking into my microphone right now. Fan responds, sorry about that.

                          Saw the game winner.

                          That pass to Hanna was so filthy it'll show up on Pornhub within 2 days.

                            Whoever puts together the highlights video deserves some praise for learning how to uncouple the audio from the video. In some cases they continued the audio while inserting replays, sometimes in slow motion, and that is much nicer than hearing the play-by-play call repeated. The next thing they should work on is adding a few seconds to the beginning and end of each play, just to give the viewers time to consider what they have just seen before moving on to the next play. It's still a bit too rapid-fire. NHL highlight videos, for example, often show the breakout before something exciting happens in the offensive zone.

                              They sure have improved. It was 6 minutes of highlights, not sure it should be longer. But they have taken some good steps forward in both the game highlights and on the videos for promotion and pregame hype video etc.

                                We should be able to guess where MTU is going correctly in the next 15 minutes. buccigross is tweeting out the location of the top 4 seeds shortly after @ncaaicehockey tweets out the 4 #1 seeds at 11:30 eastern
