Hey, I'm hoping to go to the Frozen Four this year. Is anyone else is interested?

 

[SabresRule]

Right now, who's the top team?

 

[riffjim4069]

Miami should roll through the CCHA Tournament; Wisconsin is my top-pick from the WCHA; Denver looks really good from the West and Boston College from the East. One of these teams should win the NCAA Tournament. Oh, here are the current ranking: http://insidecollegehockey.com/5Polls/0910/polls_0825.htm

Well...perhaps if I can get out of town on Thursday morning I'll join you - although the change of that happening are pretty slim.

I have some deliverables due on Friday so I won't be heading up to MI until Saturday. Enjoy the game(s) and hopefully you can Ferris State will make it to the championship game.

I might be at the Xcel Centre tomorrow for the Mn Duluth/No Dak game (the play in game)

but the best part......GOOFER FREE FINAL 5!!!! (first time in 11 years)

Chances Bemidji State makes it two Frozen Fours in a row?

Chances Bemidji State makes it two Frozen Fours in a row?

I had this same thought earlier today...slim, but certainly possible.

 

[Mr Tony]

very possible

They are VERY good this year and next year the real fun begins. They officially become a WCHA member (along with Omaha who is leaving the CCHA)

Selection Sunday - Today at 11:30am ESPN2

"The NCAA Selection Committee will announce the 16 teams selected into the postseason tournament on Sunday (March 21) at 11:30 a.m. on ESPN2. With tonight's win, Michigan earned an automatic bid into the national playoffs. The tournament starts next weekend with the regional semifinals and finals taking place Friday through Sunday (March 26-28). Visit MGoBlue.com after the selection show for more information."

I still can't believe Michigan convincingly swept the through the CCHA winning the title after a not-so-stellar season. However, they are hot (won 8 of past 9) and secured an automatic bid of the 16-teams receiving invites. I'll be watching...

Here's to an exciting tournament!

Absolutely, but they always have me standing on the edge of my seat! I like Vermont and I am glad to see they received a 4th seed...too back Maine didn't make it after their game with BC in the Hockey East Final.

 

[ycebar]

Lets go North Dakota will be an exciting tournament though.

 

[riffjim4069]

All the semifinal matches are on ESPNU and ESPN360 - ugh!

 

[BillD1984]

Just an FYI........................Minnesota Duluth just defeated Cornell with 32 seconds left in the third overtime for the Women's National Championship
