  • Re: The definitive tournament speculation thread

    I bet St. Norbert is jacked they bothered to play the regular season.

It's kind of sad, actually...Here it’s go to the rink, pay for your ice time and practice for an hour where we could just walk to the rink and skate for four hours if we wanted to...It was just a lot of fun. I wish I could go back and be eight years old for a couple days" -Neal Broten

      Ha, right. We'd **** that up, too.

            FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-The EAST! You'd think they invented the game. The NCAA should be ashamed! What the F*&^k! The west needs to get the tourney back out here.

            This is GONG show!

            I guess it will never change. F-Lake Placid

              It's Ridder Arena, and I'm pretty sure it is, in fact, a done deal (I've seen a bunch of official NCAA release-type stuff mentioning it, in any case).

                I think you are referring to the Primelink Shootout!!! Every year they invite one team from the West and I think they haven't won a game yet in that tournament....St. Thomas, Stout, and St. John's ( I think) are 0 for the Primelink!!

                    I am not sure exactly, but I think when I was looking for DIII regional rankings last week on the NCAA website, it had a "history" link. It showed all the past winners and runner ups. It also showed that Minnesota is hosting next year, if I remember right.

                      That's dumb. Run your mouth about the West being better than the East. What happened last year in the finals again? Neumann 4-Gustavus 1? Yeah the West is way better, you're right.

                        This is the most appropriate bracket based on the criteria and NCAA restrictions.

                        Blame those, not the committee.
                        The committee picked a fine time to objectively use the criteria. I think it hurts the ECAC West in the long run, not just Manhattanville.

                          Or it tells Manhattanville that playing a crap schedule really screws you over in case your conference has a down year.

                              No, I am quite certain that this is the NCAA's and while we are at it, put the Final 4 back on campus at either one of the Eastern schools mentioned and call it the Burlington Invitational. It is an absolute joke that SNC will have to play the play in game while the Eastern toddlers get their rest.

                                The Valiants should have definitely been in the NCAA's!!!
