At Tech, I will admit this, I may be a drunk, but it's not alcoholism until you graduate....I still got a year of un-judged freedom

It's not alcoholism unless:

A: you admit it
B: you go to meetings

And remember kids, rehab is for quitters.

Their schedule after Tech is murder (@UND, UNO, rivalry home-and-home with UA_, @Mankato.)

Agree that 4 points are mandatory, but even with zip from Denver, I’m yet to abandon all hope for home ice. We’ve nearly as long a streak as Tech has on the line this weekend.

The continuing fur ball has the coming attractions.

• CC (18 pts from 18 games) has h/h Denver, Kates, @Bemidji, Duluth, @Wisco
  
• Micky’s Girls’ (18 pts from 18 games) train to pull is @Duluth, Denver, @Wisco, Tech, @Bemidji
  
• tCloud Hoppers (16 pts from 18 games) have @Omaha, @Duluth, ND, Wisco, @Denver
  
• UAA (16 pts from 20 games)
  
• Kates on Skates (14 pts from 20 games) get Bemidji, @CC, Duluth, Woofs
  
• Bemidji (12 pts from 18 games) does @Kates, @Tech, CC, @ND, Minnie

It’s definitely uphill with the 3 teams above UAA having 2 games in hand, but St. Cloud’s task is indeed brutal, and I’d say things are nearly as bad for CC and the mouse eared. Omaha looks mortal of late, and UAA sends them home at the Forks all grumpy and wishing for a flood to lighten the mood fairly regularly.

3 points in Central Minnesota the last weekend of the season might just be the key to using home ice tickets.

Didn't get to track the threads much, did Tech get anyone back (or lose more) from injuries last weekend?

It's a tougher road with only 2 out of 8 from the road trip, it forces them to rely on teams not gaining points from their games in hand. The biggest thing is that the only games against opponents near our position is against 'kato. We absolutely need 4 points this weekend and at least 2 points the other weekends with 3-4 from one of them to make it easier (and of course two wins over Failbanks).

Bemidji looks, to me, to have the best opportunity to come out as they have games against CC, Minny, and Kato, real chances to make up ground.

Lost Stebner, might get Nielsen back. Russell won't make any official travel decisions until Tuesday though.

They also said that it looked like Gordic could return, but then he had a setback this past week and is questionable again.

At this point, you couldn't pay me to watch these games.

Two 0-0 ties? Will anyone cross the red line with the puck or will both teams stay in their ends and fire the puck back-and-forth?

One of these "hockey" teams will score on their own goal before there's a 0-0 tie. I fully expect it to be Tech.

I could certainly see 2 ties, it happen that last time you and I made the trip.

Another reason to not watch these games.

Agree it will be a real dog fight. I don't see umtc getting home ice. I hope AA does but the points required are a lot and it's not a real good chance imho. I think uno is home ice quality but just barely, I don't see them going on. St cloud is beatable, Bimidji and mankato too. I was surprised though that AA did not get two wins last weekend.

Lost Stebner, might get Nielsen back. Russell won't make any official travel decisions until Tuesday though.

I didn't know about Stebner.
If Neilson and Gordic make the trip and do play Tech has a much better chance. Plus a number of the guys are walking wounded. It Will be a big if until we see them on friday night. Is there a video feed of this game?
