Denver does the unthinkable and beats AIC

The issue for many is that PC is not the host.

They don't put up the effort, money, or people. Bron is the host.

However PC just sits back and benefits.

As does the NCAA.

Denver will apparently be advancing to the Frozen Four as well.

MSUM should be blaming North Dakota. If they'd qualified the NCAA would have been forced to ship both SCSU and UMD east which would have put the Mavericks in Fargo by default. So it's really their fault.

If I’m not mistaken, the two fans in the Yellowjacket costumes are our own Dirty and another poster from here whose name escapes me. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Bee-lieve it!

We'd discussed this before, but had North Dakota qualified, it would have been most likely as a #3 seed. It wouldn't have affected SCSU/UMD/Mankato.

Mankato shoulda lost a few more games then. Drop to a two.

Theoretically they could have qualified as a 4. Of course they didn't qualify at all, so it's a moot point.

Sure, theoretically almost anything could have happened. That is why I said they most likely would have been a #3 seed. Not sure why you said that Mankato should be blaming UND. UND qualifying would almost certainly not have affected Mankato's lot in life. SCSU would have still been the #1 seed in Fargo.

Because I'm a sarcastic SOB. I'm amazed more people on this thread haven't realized this by now.

Right. That would work too. Lose to UND and in the WCHA Championship. That would have knocked them down to 5 overall. Then Clarkson would have had to play Providence!

No idea what Ohio State's hockey following is but I am still surprised they didn't just swap Ohio State and Arizona State.

Ohio State at regionals will have local alumni, parents, and a few die hard faithful and if you throw in the pep band lets just make it an even 100.

For years I argued that games at the X were home games for the Gophers but was told repeatedly that they weren't. So neither is this.

Don't like it? Bid to host.

No you weren't. You were told the size of the ice sheet was different - no one would argue the crowd wasn't likely to be decidedly in their favor. Although that wasn't always the case either depending upon the opponent.

Can you put the smug pill back in its bottle for a bit?

I sat in nose bleeds to watch Maine lose in OT to Minnesota. I have no ounce of empathy with that game being a neutral site. You give you take... Minny fans are the last set of fans that should *****. Period.

"Minny" fans are not Mankato fans. Two different schools buddy.

Buddy... I am not your buddy. Even tippy canoes knows this much.

So go screw and enjoy it... “buddy”.

Brown did NOT bid in 2021 so this whole thing is moot
