  • Re: 2012 West Regional: North Dakota vs Western Michigan; Minnesota vs Boston Univers

    So...getting back to TV coverage (or lack thereof)...some of us DON'T HAVE a "cable" provider, because we have DirecTV. We can't see ESPN3. It's not just whether or not you have Comcast - it's ANY cable provider. I checked the "guide" on DirecTV last night (you can forward ahead to a specific date). I didn't see ANY of the college hockey games on any of the Fox network channels (a couple said "To Be Announced"). And what really sucks is that EVERY regional game except the ones from the West Regional are on one of the ESPN channels, but because, as I said before, the BU/Minnesota game is an "overlap" game (on at essentially the same time as the BC/Air Force game) it is not on. Does anyone have any updates about whether the game will be on somewhere besides ESPN3? (I realize it's on tape delay about two months later, but who cares?)

      of course the goofs just wish they had a load to blow...

        /facepalm Did I ever refute that UND hasn't choked in games? Do you realize I'm merely pointing out that Gophers fans aren't ones to talk when their beloved team is prone and known for choking as well.

        Does anyone else find what he/she said in bold, ironic? 2007 WCHA Final Five, anyone? Anyone? Lol.

          I just checked the regional Fox Sports for here in Minnesota (Fox Sports North) it shows channel 668 and 668-1 for DirecTV:
          http://www.foxsportsnorth.com/pages/channelfinder

          Then for Saturday's schedule it says
          "Noon ACC Baseball, N.C. State at North Carolina (Live) PLUS
          3:30 p.m. Gophers Live Pregame (Live) HD
          4 p.m. NCAA Hockey Tournament: Minnesota vs. Boston (Live) HD
          6:30 p.m. NCAA Hockey Tournament: Minnesota Duluth vs. Maine (Live) HD"
          http://www.foxsportsnorth.com/pages/tvlisting/

          Does that work for your setup?

This should be the toughest regional to get through. I agree that UND has exceeded expectations and injuries. That being said....any team can win any night and it's one and done. I hope nobody looks past their opponent to the next one or they might be watching the Regional Championship on FSN.
            Exactly. All I hear is how everyone can't wait for the Sioux/Gopher rematch. Ah there is 2 games saturday. I would not be one bit surprised to see WMU/BU playing sunday. This is one tough *** region.

                  That was a delightful choke, yes, but I prefer not to talk too much **** about that choke job considering our beloved Gophers didn't even make the tourney that year.....

                  USCHO gives me another reason to not do work while I am at work.

                        Yeah but all they care about is NC's so it really doesn't matter when you lose, all that matters is they can't win one under Hakstol because of all the choking he does.

                        Edit: unlike Lucia who has 2 NC's

                          Evidently Jared Smith is clueless. Can't even pass on the most basic news. Which selection show did he watch?
                          Perhaps he had a flashback to 2007, the last time Minnesota actually did earn a #1 seed.
                          If I recall the Sioux ended their season again.

                            But I know you from another site. Think about it for a bit.

                              ... and possibly this year we return the favor.

                                you can pull out any of UND's chokes and they all pale in comparison to the most epic choke-job of all time...

                                drumroll please....
