Actually I want ND to win.

BemidJi is really fast/quick.. more so than the ND.

Being banged up and not quic ourselves, I'd rather play ND. BemidJi might do us like Yale...we just don't fare well against the speedthis year.

This is a sample size issue. Even if ND has no jump today, BSU went 4-10 OOC including an 0-5 record against tournament teams. I'll take BSU the day after they pull off a Holy Cross instead of Notre Dame the day after their coach tears them a new asshole for sleepwalking through the first period.

I agree. 31-5-3 Notre Dame, or 18-15-1 Bemidji State? Please. Who's an easier team to beat? A team that's won 31 times this year? Or a team that's dropped 15 games?

NOtre Dame we can play the same game p[lan as Northeastern.

Even though BemidJi is by fa the worse of the two - they say in boxing styles make fights.

That's the problem we are facing here. An excellent team with a style we can often handle? Or the quick upstart -- when quick teams were extremely tough for us all year.

That said, I don't want to play Notre Dame either. I said in another thread earlier in teh week that ND would rip us up if we got lucky enough to play them

Agreed. But if the Man wants to lose earlier than that's also fine with me.

If we win the title, I do not care if we beat a bunch of 5 year old bantams.

Can't argue with that.

They showed the highlights of ND - BSU during the UVM-AFA intermission. The first BSU goal was, actually, all the goalie's fault. He skated behind his net to get the puck, lost sight of it and basically kicked it into the crease for an easy tap-in. The second goal was a pretty Holmstrom-style deflection by a guy camped in front of the net.

OK. So if BSU wins, they're the Man. Then we can try to beat them.

if Bemidji is so quick how did they lose so many games? the announcers make it sound like they have one real solid line and little else.

Al DeFlorio · March 28, 2009, 08:30:31 PM

abmarks · March 28, 2009, 08:46:27 PM
