Keep your stick on the ice...
Pretty clear bracket this year
Selection Show:
Sunday, March 20 @ 5:30 on ESPNU
Keep your stick on the ice...
Notre Dame likely in Michigan’s region :biggrin2: :biggrin2:
Maybe at 530. Women's game has to be over by then. Wouldn't put money on that.
I'm guessing it will be a little later than that. Women's game still has 17 minutes to play and its tied.
Defending champs. Let’s do it.
No you ruined the show??
@rube go AIC.
Who are we gonna get :ahhh: :ahhh:
ND - UND is going to be fun.....
Maybe Gophers can solve UMass.....none of the other MN teams could......
We will meet Michigan in the final.
Mel bragged about all the top teams he faced this year while being interviewed on ESPN. Acting like Saint Mel. :censored:
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
Three day work week. Can’t wait for Thursday!!
Maybe they put SCSU in Michigan's regional because they have a better chance to beat them in a big game than Notre Dame as a way to punish for skipping the WMU game.
Regardless, glad to face UMass instead of Cloud. Not that either was as favorable as getting MTU or down would have been.
UMD will be rooting for the Gophers! MN State got a tough bracket. Can't wait for Thursday!
Three day work week. Can’t wait for Thursday!!
Yeah after you mentioned it a few weeks ago I cleared that with my boss as well 
. Should be a fun few days.
Worcester has a NHL regulation ice surface. The Gophers seem to play much better on the smaller ice surfaces. It's all about match ups and if the Gophers play their game, they will win!
Is this the game thread then?
UMass doesn't take penalties. Hopefully 50+ minutes of this game are 5 on 5 for viewing purposes.
Think the Gophers have them on forward depth. Think they might have better offensive d men but Gopher unit probably better overall.
Extremely experienced goaltending I'd maybe give a slight edge to them there.
Overall, if the Gophers show up I I'd say they win the first one.
1. Michigan v. AIC
Quinnipiac v. St. Cloud St.
2. Minnesota St. v. Harvard
North Dakota v. Notre Dame
3. Western Michigan v. Northeastern
Minnesota v. UMass
4. Denver v. UMass-Lowell
Minnesota Duluth v. Michigan Tech
The possibility of an All State of Hockey Frozen Four is out there, with SCSU traveling the toughest road to TD Garden ☝️

I am guessing a game specific one or regional may be made

Looks about right. I would put down 50 on Harvard if I could.
This could be Michigan's year...young but uber talented. Then again, they did lose to ND 4 times and won once by the thinnest of margins. ND/UMD style of play shuts down speed teams.
My first round picks:
MICHIGAN/aic
ST CLOUD/quinnipiac
MANKATO/harvard
NOTRE DAME/north dakota
NORTHEASTERN/western mich
MINNESOTA/umass
DENVER/umass lowell
UMD/mich tech
As I look at that bracket I smell an upset in at least one of the Mankato/Cloud/Gopher games. If I was filling out a bracket for five bucks my two upsets would be Qpac and Harvard winning.
I think people are sleeping on the team playing in front of Levi. Also Levi is pretty darn good.
People underestimate WMU, too, though, because they are not one of the usual names.
Exciting time of year. It feels like every year the tourney gets better and better.
To Bonin’s point, there are some STUDS on Harvard. Thats my first round “underrated game to watch” selection.
My first round picks:
MICHIGAN/aic
ST CLOUD/quinnipiac
MANKATO/harvard
NOTRE DAME/north dakota
NORTHEASTERN/western mich
MINNESOTA/umass
DENVER/umass lowell
UMD/mich tech
Northeastern is dangerous, but Western Michigan will ek out the win.

Harvard looking every bit like they’re going to be there til the end vs Kato early
1-0 Kato
Reviewing, but I have to agree with Starman, that should count.
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
Starman UND Mentions count is at 2 15 mins into the 1st
Harvard looking every bit like they’re going to be there til the end vs Kato early
This didn’t age well haha
Kato up 2-0 on the PP
Don't think they'll blow this one.
After 1 Kato 2 Harvard 0
Kato ditching black as a color a year or two ago makes their color/jersey combo just gorgeous.
