So lets say they play well, win games but still finish 4th, what then?
If they set a goal of finishing 3rd, and come up short, its a disappointment. But how much of one depends. If they really grind out all (or most) of their games, or maybe rebound after some injuries, then its nothing to hang your head on. But if they finish 4th or below because they, like last year, didn't give it their all too many nights, then they've gotta answer for their shortcomings. Either way, you gotta get ready for the playoffs, hopefully have a good showing in the F5, and a 4th place finish plus a good playoffs should hopefully get them an NCAA birth, where they have to get up for getting the NCAA monkey off their back.
tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

That's why I added, if they play well.
Obviously if it's like last year its bad, but if they do come together, play well, give it their all every night and still finish 4th which is not out of the realm of possibility, then what?
People seem to be "screaming" for a top 3 finish and all I'm wondering is what's the feeling if it doesn't happen despite the fact they do play well.
Personally, I don't care where they finish, if they win an NCAA tourney game or more, finish spot in the standings doesn't mean squat.

Marvin gets an A, and so far it's the only A.
I saw that on Kevin's blog. Like I always say the team knows who is best, not us fans. From a far Marvin sure is a hard worker and seems like a perfect fit.
It sounds like only two forwards and one defenseman have to sit for the fake game on sunday. I wonder who will sit?
Anybody want to buy my four tickets for sunday? $40 dollars for all four. a $20 saving.

The Herb Brooks National Hockey Center..... I wonder who originally came up with that.

Agree completely. It's all about winning at least 1 NCAA tourney game.
