    Re: Northeast Regional: BC vs Denver, Lowell vs Mankato

    Since I can't root for the red cows I'll be rooting for the purple ones, particularly since their head coach is likely to be our new head coach when the gap-toothed wonder retires.

    We need Coach Hastings to be NCAA battle tested when he gets here.

      Slow down, there. Now you're sounding like those Michigan fans trying to steal Mel from Tech.

        Tournament Central is up. I would expect an update in the next 24 hours or so about pregame bar, tickets, etc.

          Except more asinine.

          Checking in here, should be a tough regional.

            Doubters would be well advised to scroll to the 50 second mark of this video:

              Not knowing much about Mankato, would be really interested to hear from some of their fans. Who should we worry about? Strengths and weaknesses?

                I'll give a low down later today or tomorrow. Others may beat me to it, but I need to get a few things done before I give a good analysis.

                  If I could pick one region to go to this would be my choice. While BC-Denver has the big name panache (5 of last 10 NCAA titles) I'm going to be interested to see how Mankato handles the step up in class against a solid UML squad. Interesting that the #1 seed is the only one not to have won their conference tournament.

                    Lot of rage against BC from otherwise 'smart' Dave Starman. His Hobey pick? Not Goudreau. His Frozen Four? BC won't be in it. If he's right, he'll remind us of it. If he isn't, we'll remind him.

                      As far as Starman is concerned, I'll just say three words.

                      "Consider the source".

                      His work this weekend was just plain laughable during NCHC tourney coverage as he constantly made silly assertions that showed just how little NCHC hockey he probably really saw this season.

                      I'm certainly no expert, but I saw more than 40 NCHC games this season (almost 30 in person) and little he said matched up with my season's observations.

                      My wife, who is a casual college hockey fan only because I am a fan, even called him out on his list of Hobey favorites during the selection show this morning. Nick Dowd? Yeah, right.

                      Her assertion? "Isn't Gaudreau a shoe-in?"

                        he should be.

                        i think the biggest question of all in this regional is can bc return to form? right now, that's obviously a big if. at their best i think they are the best team in the regional but it will most likely take their best to get through.

                        one question i have on minnesota state is in goal. if i have it right, you have a freshman phenom who stole the job from last year's freshman phenom? pretty interesting.

                          Yes on the goalie, although I think Williams was more highly regarded (more "phenom" if you will), and his ascendancy to the job last year was expected. It took a few games, but he earned it. Huggins more fell into the job, as Williams just didn't perform well, with an .867 save % when he lost the job. Huggins may lack Williams' penchant for the spectacular, athletic play, but he's much more consistent, and as Coach Hastings says, "He makes all the saves he should. And some of the ones he shouldn't."

                            and that is why women dont vote.

                            Gaudreau will prob win but not with support from the west

                            horrible bracket for BC
                            Denver, very dangerous, Lowell on top of gm ++

                              Yes, and Minnesota State is a complete nonfactor in this region.
