WCHA 2020-21: We Can Do Better than Two Bids and Eight Teams Exiting

I know a Beaver fan that would love to get into Friday's game. Any way of doing that or are all tickets going to Mav fans for both games on Friday?

There will be tickets allotted to all 4 schools, but with the 250 person limit, you almost have to have a kid on the team to get into the building.

That is so wrong...allocate 250 (or more) to each team. 500 fans per game with 250 on each side of the area will offer plenty of space for social distancing. Geez...

That's the governor's rules, not the Mavs.

I think LSSU and BSU both deserve bids. Honestly, just watching them, they are both better than Notre Dame and probably BU and a couple of other eastern teams, Uconn and PC in particular.

After further thought on this...the winner of Friday's LSSU/ Bemidji game is definitely in...The loser of that game may get in, too. However if the winner of Friday night's game also wins the Saturday night game, i.e. WCHA championship, then the Friday night loser gets in, too, on the coat tails of the WHCA champ. That would mean 3 WCHA bids.

Isn't the Governor a Mankato resident?

Forgive me for going off-topic a bit, but I don't know where else to put this thought: Is this the year that all five Minnesota DI hockey schools get into the tournament?

Not right now.

The Twins get 10,000 in a 40,000 seat outdoor park. The Wild get 3,000 out of 18,000 indoors.

No politician wants to have another Covid breakout on his/her watch. But after a year of this, we ought to be able to put a 1,000 fans in this Mankato arena without a problem. That's 20% of capacity.

If you use the Wild numbers as an indoor benchmark, it would be 833 people.

Yes, still much more than 250 which strikes me as far too restrictive. Full disclosure: I'm not a doctor, but a I play one on this site.

And the other kicker is that the new numbers do not take effect until April 1. So, we are stuck at 250 no matter what we wish for.

You're more knowledgeable than any pol that makes claims and rules. Truly clueless about what is truly going on.
