    But by any chance did you notice that the BTHC is considering the X-cel Enery barn for the playoffs of the BTHC? Not fair IMO, that's what, 8 miles from Mariucci?

      Were there really 20,000 people at The Joe? It looked like some empty seats down low. I will say that it did get loud a couple times. Seemed to be about 50-50 on Blue and Green.

        The last two weeks of CCHA play is going to be very interesting. Ferris all but has 1st locked up (5 point lead with only 12 points available). Ditto Alaska in 11th and BG in 12th but those two COULD flip with 6 points difference and BG having 2 games in hand.

        The rest is where it gets good. A mere 6 points separate 2nd from 10th although ohio has two fewer games than the others. I can see them slipping all the way down to a tie for 6th place.

          How the heck did your team get swept by Ferris, btw? Miami must be licking their chops, too.

          Makes that season ending series with Sparty more daunting- they played really well this weekend.
          Let's see, how did we get swept by Ferris... Well, other than they were all wearing skates and managed to show up to the correct rink, Notre Dame didn't do squat right all weekend. FSU played the FSU game about as well as they can, while Notre Dame half-azzed it with a bunch of lazy hockey that reminded me of two seasons ago. Awful effort from the players, and a shocking lack of preparation by the coaching staff. If you listen to some of the apologists from my end of the world (not generally the handful of us on this site) it must have been a fluke that you guys pounded this same team -- when they were undefeated if memory serves -- sweeping them out of Yost by a 9-2 score.

              YES, it was full. A smattering of lower bowl seats were empty, but all of general ad was full. 50/50 split is pretty accurate, too. Very intense feel, especially in the latter part of the 3rd period when Sparty had the momentum. Hunwick saves the bacon again.

                WMU still has a shot at Ferris, but must win out. Winning 3 of 4 on the road against LSSU and Ferris won't be easy. Michigan has an outside shot, but Ferris has to lose twice and Michigan has to sweep NMU at home and BG on the road, PLUS Ferris can't gather any more than six points out of their twelve points for Michigan or WMU to win outright or tie.

                  This weekend with BGSU in Big Rapids should give the Bulldogs that six points. It would be a major shock for anything else. Then the home & home with WMU I see a split. That's 9 points for FSU. Game, Set, Match.

                  #1 seed to FSU. After that the fun begins.

                    Regular season championship is out of our hands now, and unlikey at best. What is in our control is a first round bye and a #1 seed in the NCAA's. The team is playing good D and still generating some decent offense. Hopefully they haven't quite yet peaked.

                      A split with MSU and this thread falls to the third page. I am getting excited. Plus, with the early game on Saturday, I may get to watch some Hockey Night in Canada. (Probably not, my wife will want to watch the sqeakball game...)

                        See you at MSG. I'm going to have to start frequenting the MSU threads to pick up some anti-Wolverine lingo.

                          They are talking about it on the rivals board. Of all weekends, they have to chose one that I'm already busy for. if not, I'd totally be at that game.

                            No, the more gutteral verbiage is being spewed in the NMU thread.

                                Being a Cornellian, you already know most of our cheers.

                                So the best reply you'll have is " you stole our cheers! "
