They are not only not going to lose to UAA imho they are going to smoke UAA both games.

Definitely agree. Although I can easily see them getting beat as soon as they arrive at the X. Its not that they're bad...its that other teams are also good and will be more hungry.

There's a CHANCE UAA miracles a game, but that's about it.

Other teams don't derp against UAA as much as we do.

True, but every team we play against is their NC so there's that.

The Gophers all too often forget that talent isn't enough against a well-coached defensive team. They have the ability to curb-stomp such teams but a lot of the time they don't start putting forth the proper effort until the third. Last Saturday was good, and I hope they continue to do those little things that are necessary.

I agree, the Gophers seem to turn it on when they want to, when behind or tied late in a game and play hard, would be nice to see that 80% of the time.

Wow, page three. Gophers got a nice commit tonight from STA's Tommy Novak. Keep em coming!

Nice! Welcome Tommy Novak

He was one of the best at the state tourney, we won't hold the whole playing for St. Thomas Academy against him.

The only 2 ways the Gophers would face a WCHA team in Round 1 would be :
1) All 4 #4 seeds are WCHA, or
2) NoDak also gets a #1 (highly unlikely because of the strength of Miami and QU), and there are 3 WCHA teams who are #4s. Otherwise, the committee will avoid that matchup.

That is what I was thinking was their policy, but I didn't know for sure. That's a good thing.

You can be sure though that they will be in a bracket to meet another WCHA team in the regional final if both teams win. NCAA wants to be sure to avoid another all WCHA frozen 4

The changes the NCAA has made to prevent that from ever happening again has SUCKED for the WCHA, but is probably the best thing for college hockey in general.

But the WCHA is going to get the last laugh now, maybe?! With WCHA teams being spread out among 3 different conferences, how are they going to keep us from all dominated the tourney now?! Whoo-Rahh!!

Well maybe they assume SCSU won't win more than one at most, so that takes out one bracket for the WCHA.

Are the women on tv today? And when are the Women's frozen four times and does anyone know if it is on tv? Might be worth watching.

It will be interesting though if Bucky gets in the NCAA tourney, that would be 6 WCHA teams if everything falls in place. Good chance to get a couple of them at the Frozen Four.

An all WCHA Frozen 4 works for me
