And I did get an email this morning saying that mine are ready to be picked up.

Maybe the COVID-19 crisis will cause no fans at the NCAA games and finally help the Mavs break the streak!

I meant this as a joke, but this is now reality. An excellent problem to have, if the games are played, but there’s a real chance if the Mavs finally win a tournament game, somehow win another and advance to the Frozen Four, many of us who have dreamed of that day our entire lives will not be able to attend.

Can’t fault the NCAA for taking preventive measures to protect its athletes, those involved, and the at risk Americans, but this is truly incredible.

Games on as planned in Mankato so far this weekend..

Sounds like we should know more in the next couple of hours regarding this weekend in Mankato.

WCHA Tournament cancelled, along with all of the other college hockey tournaments.

15 days from the scheduled start of the NCAA Tournament. Hoping the Mavs get a chance, however, unless that chance is in May, I’m not thinking it’s likely.

It’s official. What a ride this senior class took us on. I’m devastated they won’t get the chance to see this thing through and try and elevate the program to a new level in the NCAA Tournament.

I’m numb.

I really feel bad for these guys. Several of them probably could have gone pro at the end of last season, but decided to come back for one more shot at it. And I'm really crushed that we don't get to see the final chapter of the story.

Coach Hastings and his staff echoed these statements last night as well. Understandable but sad day.

This was a missed opportunity to showcase not only the WCHA but the nCCHA as well. We had an excellent chance of putting 2 teams in for the 3rd year in a row and a very good chance of having at least 1 (you guys) in the FF/finals. The way to combat all this talk about being "a lousy 1-bid league" is to consistently put more than one in. Winning it all doesn't hurt either.

If they still go ahead with the Hobey Baker, I really hope Michaelis makes the top 3. For that matter, I think the thing for the committee to do is to put all seniors in the top 10. The class that didn't get a chance to finish should at least be recognized in that way. For the outstanding juniors, sophs, and freshmen, feel free to come back next year and win it.

I am really curious as to what they do. You’d think McKay has a great Mike Richter Award case as well.

Marc Michaelis and Dryden McKay both named as Top 10 Finalists for the 2020 Hobey Baker Award, which is announced on a Friday April 10th on NHL Network.

Great recognition of both players. Either may have a legit shot at the top 3, but it will be a tough route to the top 3 for either. Has Michaelis not missed 7 games, I think he’d have a pretty legit shot at the whole thing.
