        It's very possible we could see more upsets this year than in the past. MSUM is playing better now, UMD and CC are both sliding a bit so anything is possible in that series, and MN has a chance for an upset in a UND/MN rivalry in GF.
        Then I guess that bracket on CHN is useless.

          The CHN bracket is only a general template without specific information according to seedings (#1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3) and respective game times.
          If the Gophers are in the semi final then they are considered the home team and for attendance purposes they always play the Friday evening semifinal game. When the F5 was in Milwaukee the Badgers were in the same position. The only team this really hurts is the Thursday winner. It is tough to do a quick turn around and face the #1 seed on short rest.

Having to play a team that gives up more or less 2gpg is bad news for a team with as anemic an offense as the Gophers have. Personally, I was hoping for SCSU or UMD.

            Oh well. Its playoffs, a new season, all that jazz. Lets go boys.
            You can make an argument either way. SCSU dominated us in January. You can rest assured the would come out all jacked up to end our season. Same thing with UMD who by the way is 3-1 against us this seaon.

            Conversely, We always get UND's A game no matter what and we have played them the toughest of anyone we've played all season. This series seems to swing back and forth, with one team dominating a couple of years and another dominating for a while. And to me it seems at least in the games this year it is starting to swing back our way a little. I think we are due to win a series with the Sioux.


            But all that said, Sioux in one. The friday night is such a blowout, Minnesota just goes home.

                It's UND's turn again.

                    That is incorrect. The #1 seed always plays the Friday night game as of at least 3 years ago when the league faculty reps voted to do it. I'm sure the WCHA would love to have the Gophers beat the Sioux, win the play-in game and then face Denver on Friday night for the $$. However, regardless of what happens with the Gophers the Friday night game will continue to be the #1 seed vs. the play-in game winner until they vote otherwise.

                    This also allows the play-in winner more rest time which they thought would be more fair.

                      I remember the last time; there was some jersey poppin by Poltuny and Irmen as they kicked the **** out of their home town.

                        That only if Minnesota does not make it into the friday semifinals, If they do make it. they are automatic slotted to the friday night game no matter what.

                        as long as Minnesota is in the semifinals of the WCHA tourney final 5. the 1 seed to friday night thing does not apply unless it again Minnesota or Minnesota is not in the semifinals.

                            I'd like to see your research on that please. As of last year (in fact Hakstol talked about it on a coaches show last year) the "Minnesota Rule" is still in effect. It is written into the Final 5 contract with FSN and the X. The Gophers will always play on Friday eve. no matter what seed they are vs. #1 seed. If you eliminate the "Gopher Rule" then it's always #2 vs. #3 (Friday aft.) and #1 vs. #4 (Friday night).
