Also cheer against Quinnipiac for further buffer.
    The ECAC is going to determine a lot of the shakeout over the next couple weeks. Q up top, and then Harvard, Cornell, Clarkson, and Union will determine the bubble. They're almost certainly going to get 2 in the field, but if they get 4, I think some more deserving teams will get left out.

      WMU has never won an NCAA tournament game? I wasn't aware of that. How many losses? Isn't Mankato winless too? Like 0-7 all time now?

        Just came in to talk about how great St. Cloud State is. 4 All-NCHC First teamers, and 2 Second teamers. Ridiculous.

          Where's Robby J on the list? Is there a max number of players from one team allowed on the All-NCHC team? Sixth in goals and fourth in total points.

            Predictions for this weekend:

            Miami @ SCSU - sweep and it won't be close
            UNO @ UMD - sweep and it won't be close
            CC @ WMU - this one is going three games and they will all be close. I'll bet we see two OT games. WMU wins game 1, CC game 2 and WMU wins game 3 in 2 OTs.
            UND @ Denver - another tight series but the scoring will be far less than CC/WMU. First to two goals wins each game. Calling three game series here as well with UND winning game 1, Denver winning game 2 and UND winning game 3. Probably OT each night.

            The green horde will invade St. Paul next weekend saving the league from a revenue/attendance nightmare, although another SCSU/UMD matchup could draw pretty well for a championship game.

            SCSU and UND in the first semifinal. Obviously UND gets the auto-bid if they can win out but I think if they get through this weekend, they'll just need one win next weekend to get in as an at-large if that doesn't happen. Likely ruining SCSU going to Fargo if UND does only get one win at the Frozen Faceoff. If they win it all they probably move up to a #3 seed and then SCSU will go to Fargo and probably face UND in the regional final (if they shake their first round demons of recent past).

            Go Denver.

              It's based on voting by the coaches. We had all three forwards on the first team. Be happy with that. Colt Conrad was second in points and he didn't make either team.

                My sources say the guy who voted UMass #1 robbed Robby Jackson by withholding a vote for him.

                WMU is 0-6 and Minnesota State is 0-5.

                  That's funny, I've been wondering who the heck would be that foolish.

                    Western is actually 0-7. They lost both games of a two-game, total goals series in 1986.

                      That being said... this WMU isn't built for an NCAA run. I'd say their ceiling would be one win in the tournament, they're not going to Buffalo.

                      Honestly I think they got this right... Robby I feel is more of an offensive player than some of those guys who got nominated ahead of him on SCSU and they play more of a two-way game.

                      Also isn't it great to be talking about OTHER schools that can't win an NCAA game?

                              You know, I saw that game listed already on my Sunday CHN app and thought "weird, how do they already know game 3 is scheduled?"

                              Now I know why.

                                One win in the tournament counts as a run for us based on historical performance.

                                WMU definitely has the talent, especially since it looks like Allison is finally coming on strong after his injury against you guys last year.
