  • Re: 2019 NCAA Tournament Thread - Regionals are the best weekend of hockey all year

    UMD is the best team I've seen this season, but I have to cheer for the Falcons here. They've had to work so hard to overcome the horrors of the Bowling Green massacre.

          I'm sure that is a relief to the rest of the old WCHA who had to play tournaments at the X...how many times did the top seed have to play the late game because they were up against the Gophers?

            MSUM are 3rd in the PWR with the second best W% in the NCAA, Providence is 14th. The committee had an attendance $$$ obsession with this location. Not at all fair.

              I can’t to hear the complaints about the officiating next.
              Seriously Jon, this is the stupidest argument that this wasn’t a home game. I firmly believe if this was the 1-4 game in Allentown rather than in Providence, the result would probably be the same. I do not feel that on the ice, there was any advantage for Providence. But you cannot say that it’s not an advantage for the program to not have to get on a plane and fly somewhere. A lot of the fans there that wouldn’t travel to an away game probably went to the Dunk. I think the issue is more that as a lower seed, they could’ve or should’ve been seeded somewhere else. Stop trying to say this wasn’t a home game. It was. It was NOT the difference on the ice, but it was an advantage for the program.

                Don't like it? Bid to host.
                Uh, I said I was done commenting about this, but Providence was not the host. They got all the benefits without making the financial committment.

                  I never said they were the hosts. I said it wasn't home ice. And it wasn't.

                    How many times has Denver had any sort of home advantage in the playoffs in recent ages? They seem to be doing fine... the difference between champions and cursed programs
                    I wanna go fast!

                      But you said bid to host. Make a $150,000 donation to MSU, and they will bid to host the regional.

                        Yup, that's got to be tough. After watching the replay it looked like the elbow came up and made contact to the head.

                        A big play in the game was the disallowed goal for offsides at the end of the first. That would have regained the 3 goal lead and stopped PC's momentum after they had scored. PC really got going after that first goal. It's hard to say how the game would have gone if MSU goes up 4-1.

                            If I had $150,000 to donate it wouldn't go to Mankato.

                            Playing Providence at the Dunk didn't seem to bother some teams, but I guess we can't all be as impressive as mighty Harvard.
