      JT Miller's spot was filled by Connor Gaarder. The problem has been ineligibility and injuries. Colten St. Claire was declared ineligible due to the NCAA being dinks and Rocco Grimaldi hurt his kneecap in practice before the season started. Derek Rodwell hurt his shoulder. I don't remember what happened to Brendan O'Donnell. All are out for the season. Taylor Dickin hurt his knee a few weeks ago and he may be out for the season.

        Yes. Yes.

        J.T. Miller left to play in Canada, Jason Gregoire and Brett Hextall left early, St. Clair got screwed by the NCAA Clearinghouse, DiPuma didn't (legitimately) make it past Clearinghouse, Mike Cichy and Brett Bruneteau transferred, and Rocco Grimaldi, Derek Rodwell, and Brendan O'Donnell are out for the rest of the season. Taylor Dickin has also been out for the last month or so, and we have been only able to dress 17 skaters. Of our 11 forwards, two are defensemen playing forward (one of which is a walk-on) and we have three other walk-ons playing forward. We have 6 scholarship forwards on the team right now. IF the Sioux are able to make it to the Frozen Four, Hakstol should be Coach of the Year in a heartbeat.

          They put up 6 on the best defensive team in the WCHA and managed to hold them to under their average in goals. They're the favorite to come out of the regional, especially with the fan support they have.

              They put 6 up on Patterson who was super-sievetastic on Friday. Prior to the meltdown on Friday night, Minnesota had held North Dakota to 6 goals in 275 minutes of play. I think the last 25 minutes on Friday were more of an aberration than an indicator of what would happen IF both schools are lucky enough to get to the Regional Final.

                So, the most important 25 minutes carry less wait then the previous 275 minutes. Got it.

                  Actually, kinda yes.

                    The first 35 minutes of that game were just as important as the final 25.

                    Ultimately, I would rather make a prediction based on 90% of the play, than 10%. How you choose to make your predictions is up to you.

                        The last 25 minutes could be rather telling of the team's mentality, though. Important game + raucous atmosphere = meltdown when the opponent cranks up their play.

                        And by seeding, UND *is* the favorite. MN is merely the 8th best team in the field.

                          Oh my but it would make me chuckle to see BU play Western MI in the regional final. I think Minnesota goes to the Frozen Four.

                            it would make me chuckle if your last goal of the season was against daloot.

                              Really? So, a playoff game where the momentum was all on your side and then finally it swung the other way and you collapsed carries less wait then games that in the grand scheme of things were mostly meaningless?

                                It would make me chuckle if we can get Scooby's glass full again.
