how do you figure?

After last night, I didn't expect any better. No cause to complain.

Let's Go Red!

Missed open nets, stupid penalties, unimaginative power play.  We're lucky we're in it.  Regrettably, i agree with the Sucks fans - we're overrated.

And we have been all year.:-(

Go Maine.

And we have been all year.:-([/quote]Agreed. *Sigh*

Still, I think this is (a) a damn good team and (b) certainly one of the top 16 teams in the country. We deserve to be in the NCAAs.

possible bc-bu matchup for a trip to the frozen four...how many times are they going to play each other this year?!

[Trustnduzt]

Oy -- CC is damn good. The hockey analyst on the selection show didn't even MENTION our name when talking about our bracket.

I guess we need to prove him wrong...but the only way we CAN win is for McKee to have a phenominal game and to actually score a goal on the power play for once. That really disappointed me last night.

EDIT: Does anyone know the rink size in Wisconsin? I remember last year at Minnesota we got in trouble because that was a much bigger rink.

[Rita]

Albany
MSU v. UNH
Harvard v. Maine

Worcester
BU v. Neb-Omaha
Miami v. BC

setting up BU v. BC for a possible 6th time!  ::screwy::

Well, at least we won't get an all-WCHA frozen four!!!

Standard rink.

We controlled our own destiny and couldnt get it done last night. I definitely liked Moy's predictions last night better (with us in Worcester).  I want to emphasize that I MUCH prefer the relatively clear selection and seeding process (what was the bonus this year?) to a lot of backroom stuff, but in the interest of hockey and not just the Worcester gate... who really wants to see BC/BU play for the 6th time this year instead of getting some teams from out west.  Well at least this way the Frozen 4 will have 1 team from the east coast and probably MSU (which counts as East I guess when the WCHA losers start complaining ;-))

The term "analyst" is a real stretch for him... he was obviously reading his crib and that wasnt giving him much.  The only thing he apparantly had written down for the BIG RED was, "has trouble scoring goals", and in talking about Harvard he didnt seem to feel it warranted mentioning the actualy scores they put up over the weekend, which I would consider a logical continuation.  I hope he isnt doing any games next week.

2nd straight year that CC gets some sort of favorable manipulation to stay west somewhere while Cornell gets nothing. The committee decided it was better to accomodate the 10th seeded CC than the 6th and 8th seeded Miami and Cornell.

I'm looking forward to the chance to knock two WCHA teams out of the tournament
