As much as I'd love to make it to Boston, I'm saving my vacation time for a hopeful driving trip to Erie in two weeks (which would include a stop in Detroit to see family).Give blood... Play Gopher Hockey!

In any case, I think UMD has the toughest road, given they have to go to Madison to play the #1 team in the country, then play the better team of BC/UM, followed by the best team from the East (and if that team is MC, in their home town.)

Some "reward" for BC's late push into the top 4- potential back-to-back games against who I believe are the top 2 teams in the nation. Until proven otherwise, I think you have to assume the WCHA teams are the top title contenders. This will be a tough one for BC, but I think they can sqeak by at home if their power play is as good as it was this weekend.
I really BC was playing at BU. I think they would have cake-walked in that one. But c'est la vie. This will be fun.

Re: NCAA Quarterfinals: Minnesota at #4 Boston College, 3/12 at 1pm
Ten reasons BC will win:
10) Five minutes into the game the Gophers will tire of Tony's "Let's go Eagles!" chant and leave the arena.
9) BC comes into the game on a Whoopie Pie high.
8) Molly Schaus is the best goalie in the country.
7) After winning the Beanpot, the NCAA tourney is mere child's play.
6) Home ice.
5) With Stack, Schaus, and Kurth, BC has more impact seniors with their last chance at NCAA glory.
4) The Eagles want revenge for 2009.
3) Minnesota is still shell-shocked from Wisconsin WCHA comeback.
2) BC is undefeated in NCAA competition when hosting.
1) Two Olympians > One.
Ten reasons Minnesota will win:
10) Gophers discover that scoring early and often is the only way to shut Tony up.
9) The Eagles have already won enough trophies this year.
8) Noora Räty is the best goalie in any country.
7) Minnesota is better battle-tested, particulary in the last 3 weeks.
6) The Gophers are 3-0 against teams from Hockey East in NCAA play.
5) Minnesota is a young team that is continuing to improve.
4) 2009 was no fluke.
3) Gophers realize that only by winning can they get another shot at the Badgers.
2) Minnesota is undefeated on the road in NCAA quarters.
1) The Gophers will score more goals."... And lose, and start again at your beginnings

I can imagine the Gophers losing this one . . . but I also imagine myself winning the lottery. They're simply playing too good right now . . . I don't think the OT loss to Bucky will have any impact . . . at least I hope it doesn't. (Yep, I actually said that.)
