    To be fair, you played a team whose season was on the line. NHL players always say, by FAR the hardest win to get in Stanley Cup playoff series is the 4th one. Its not easy to end someone's season. We found that out after winning the Penrose last year then taking on Miami.
    tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

      While that might be true...we have yet to go to a second round of a conference playoff in MANY, MANY years. I can't remember the last time we made it to the second round. The excuses for our February/March record pile up every year. This year it is that we played a team on the ropes. I'll wait for next year's excuses.
      If we could extend Blais' contract, that'd be greeeaaatttt

        Wow, I can't say I agree with this statement.

        SCSU was a Frozen 4 team last season with 17 upper classmen this season.

        Their regular season along with Minnesota's are arguably the biggest underachieving seasons in the country this year.

        We swept them here earlier in the season in games we did not really play well in. Go look at the stats of those two games.

        We were (and, are) in the NCAA tourney no matter what happened this weekend. THEY were playing for their very lives. Couple that with they are not a team we match-up very well with and this outcome didn't really surprise me much at all. I, frankly, did not expect to win this series and, we didn't. I had higher hopes, actually, if we could get by them because I though they easily presented the worst first round trouble we could have gotten ourselves into. We played better, collectively, this season against North Dakota than we did in our games with SCSU.

        Is SCSU going to win the NCHC tourney? Dunno. But, I wouldn't be shocked at all if they did. They are going to have the best "home ice" advantage of any team there, probably. They are a very battle-tested team despite whatever might have gone on during the regular season. They spent a ton of time having the biggest disparity of any team in the country in their Pairwise ranking and their KRACH ranking, where they were substantially higher.

        Today, a week ago, a month ago, if you had asked me who the most underrated team in the entire country was, I would not and still would not hesitate to say that team is SCSU.

          Appreciate the sentiment, but UND will have the most fans there, and it won't be close. We'll probably have the second most, then honestly there may be more tUMD fans there than fans of the winner of the WMU/Miami game tonight or DU fans. Heck, there might be more Gopher fans than DU fans. The green and black are an infestation; you've seen how many they've brought down to Omaha, and Minneapolis is a lot closer. Plus a lot of UND fans are now in the Twin Cities, 'cause while UND is a good school, nobody wants to stay in North Dakota.

          There will be green and black everywhere and Sioux Yeah Yeahs in surround sound. The one thing we'll have going for us is that everyone there not cheering for UND will be cheering AGAINST UND, other than maybe if we play UND and some knowledgeable Miami, DU and tUMD fans know that us losing could kick us out of the tournament.

            Yup, it will be a majority of UND fans and the NCHC organizers will breath a sigh of relief that we made it into the Frozen Faceoff again.

            As for the no one likes to stay in GF, you've been to St. Cloud I'm assuming right? Had friends that lived there and they got out as soon as they graduated to move back to GF. Myself, I owned a condo in downtown Minneapolis and worked there too for 3 years. Packed up and moved back to Grand Forks because I was sick of it. I know it's something people like to say to mess with ND fans but we're perfectly content in GF... except that it's ********** cold

              Honestly, I've looked at radio gigs in Grand Forks. Grand Forks is big enough where there's stuff to do. Its the rest of the state. I lived in Beulah for 6 months, and that was 9 months too long

                  Well they graduated from SCSU so they obviously couldn't get a job and had to move back in with mom and dad.

                        Population of Grand Forks must be skyrocketing because of all the jobs there, huh?

                            Upper level student tickets are $36.00 which isn't bad. Certainly tempting.

                                Yeah. They haven't gone on sale yet. Upper level but still a solid deal. Not sure how many they're opening up for students.
