    Hmmm.... When I go out to Ticketbastard and look at seats at the end of the arena, they are $7 for youth (add the $2 facility fee onto that for $9 at the box office rather than Ticketbastard and their fees) and $12 for adults (add a $4 facility fee onto that for $16 at the box office). We have friends who sit on the end and are looking at getting seats near them.

    Can you tell I hate Ticketbastard? When I run up the tickets we want in their system, two youth at $7 and two adults at $12, that $38 in tickets becomes $83 total after all the fees they tack on. Now granted $12 of that is facility fees which we would pay at the box office, but they still turns a $50 sale into $83.........

      Just got my tickets through by calling the box office and the end of the arena in Bemidji is $16. So they are $9 for youth and $16 (end), $20 (bronze), $25 (silver), $30 (gold) and $35 (club) for adults.

        Thanks BeaverHockeyFan. I'm fine this weekend since the first round tickets came with the season ticket package. But if we continue to win, we'll seek our current seats.

            I don't expect chalk — I think that Ferris wins and either Northern or Fairbanks. That's not what a projection will say —*a projection will always generally favor chalk — but that's what I guess.

            I do obviously want Northern to win.

                As much parity as there is in this league, I won't be at all surprised if some
                of the road teams advance past this weekend.

                  I hate everything. The Beavers got lucky in getting the Sanford Center when they did so they could be on good footing with the CHA folded. Jumping into the WCHA helped them stay relevant, and Tom Serratore's abilities have helped make them a great team in this league.

                  I hate everything. I root for Tech second to UAH, but ... ugh ... I kinda root for the Beavs third.

                    We have room for you on our bandwagon.

                      From the WCHA columnist playoff preview blog:

                      "That’s a fact: Ferris State played in the 4-5 series last season and was ousted by Bemidji State in multiple overtimes."

                      That's one amazing comeback to be eliminated in the opening round but recover to win the Broadmoor Trophy.

                        We're guaranteed a 1st time semifinalist in the "New" WCHA, as the winner of the BSU-NMU series will be making its first trip to the 2nd round. And on the other end, either Ferris or BGSU will fail to advance for the first time. So some new blood, with a chance for lots of it, if UAF and LSSU win.

                          BG hasn't lost a first round series since Bergeron has been the coach (including eliminating Ferris from the CCHA playoffs in 3 games the year that Ferris made it to the Frozen Four). I expect that to continue this year. Except for some unbelievable goal tending by Tolvenan as well as a couple of defensive gaffs that NMU capitalized on, BG's winning streak could easily be 5 games. We out shot NMU 35-23 in the first game and 40-20 in the second game. Those numbers generally spell out a win. Also, the confidence level of BG is at an all time high for the season. It might go to 3 games, but I expect us to win it in 2.

                                In terms of series-by-series results or as a whole (say, what were Northern's chances of making the playoffs as the 8th seed on New Year's Day)?
