NCAA Hockey Tournament 2010

[BillD1984]

Who's the favorite to win the NCAA Hockey Tourney?

Denver is the top overall seed, but I like North Dakota (with Miami and Wisconsin close behind).................

 

[Mr Tony]

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

yeah that was a crazy game....but watching that game when use to watching men's hockey is like watching it in slow motion

and no offense to Shannon Miller (UMD coach) because UMD is my team (the mens side...women's not so much..)..but.....What in the black holy hell was with that jacket? Hey Shannon.....1978 called.....it wants it jacket back!!

 

[Mr Tony]

uh oh...the NCAA screwed up

They have it set up so possibly you could have a all WCHA frozen four...yeah I know Bemidji technically isnt a WCHA team yet but they play 4 or 5 series each year against the WCHA so they're considered WCHA

 

[jaj1701]

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)

Hey! I happen to be a goofer season ticket holder. Hated seeing the Sue win it all. Was pulling for Duluth all the way.

Been going to the WCHA Final Five for like 9 years straight.

Need Regional Tickets...I have three extras.

On a side note...

...one of my schools (Norwich University) won the Division III hockey title this weekend, and our Women's team finished runner-up. Norwich, Amherst grab Division III hockey titles | stargazette.com | Star-Gazette

Way to go NU!!!

Playoff Action Kicks-Off this Friday

Personally, I am really looking forward to the Bemidji State vs. Michigan game this Saturday at 7:30pm. Anyway, great preview by NHL.com

"What more can be said about Michigan's March play? On the brink of seeing their NCAA-best 19-year tournament streak ending, coach Red Berenson put sophomore Shawn Hunwick in goal. Hunwick went 7-0 and helped the Wolverines win the CCHA Tournament, capped by Louie Caporusso's third-period game-winner in a 2-1 win in the championship game. Senior captain and defenseman Chris Summers has provided the leadership glue that Berenson stresses as paramount in post-season play.

While Michigan beat Miami in the CCHA semifinal Friday, 5-2, the RedHawks are on a mission for redemption in this likely final matchup -- until Bemidji is factored in. The Beavers are the sleeper team among the 16 to win it all, having been one of the final four 12 months back. "

[Mr Tony]

March 26, 3 p.m. -- No. 1 Denver Pioneers (27-9-4) vs. No. 4 RIT Tigers (26-11-1)

1st game of the day goes to RPI 2-1

Damn I had Denver in the frozen 4...there goes that

 

[Mr Tony]

St Cloud finally wins one

4-3 double OT

and now I'm 0-2

 

[Mr Tony]

New Hampshire won

yay! 1-2

 

[riffjim4069]

New Hampshire won

yay! 1-2

Don't feel bad...I would have been 1-2 or 0-3 (Cornell vs NH was a toss-up for me).

 

[riffjim4069]

Talking about upsets...Vermont is leading Wisconsin 2-1 after the 1st period.

 

[SabresRule]

Wisconsin came back to win 3-2.

Denver was not so lucky- they got knocked out by the Rochester Instiute.

Nothing would surprise me in this tourney (maybe I would be somewhat surprised Alabama-Huntsville won the whole thing)- remember last year, you had two no. 4 seeds (Bemidji State and Miami of Ohio, which nearly won it all) and a no. 3 seed (Vermont) in the Frozen Four.

P.S. With the Frozen Four in Ford Field, how big could the crowds be?

The Wolverines will face the Bemidji State Beavers (23-9-4) -- the College Hockey America regular-season champion -- in the opening round on Saturday (March 27) at 7:30 p.m.

Go Michigan!

Yep, I tuned-in most of the 3rd period after the Red Wings game. I'm not sure how many they will draw at Ford Field, but I'm sure the organizers are hoping that Michigan makes it to the Frozen Four. If so, I'll be there...
