2014 Inaugural Big Ten Hockey Tournament 3/20 - 3/22

Re: 2014 Inaugural Big Ten Hockey Tournament 3/20 - 3/22

Game. Blouses.

UW should be able to run train on those tired legs tomorrow, though.

Penn State is now 8-25-2, and for another 14 hours Michigan is #11 in the country.

My favorite team...whomever is playing Michigan.

Are the golf courses open around Ann Arbor?

I don't know about anyone else, but I am pulling for THE Fuglies tonight. Sparty makes me a little nervous.

They need to end these Thursday games. Maybe they could just play single game eliminations at the higher seed on Tuesday then have a 4 team championship.

Why? Attendance? Final Five did fine on Thursdays. The best of three QF idea isn't too bad. Assuming the conference would go to seven before eight, gives a big incentive to win the regular season title. Also eliminates the chance of the two seed getting to play the six seed.

Either that or have a best of three series the weekend before, like the other conferences. The top 2 teams get a week off to rest and heal up, if necessary.

They could've played today's games in Eagan and still not filled the barn. They should have an OK crowd for Wisconsin tomorrow and a good one for the Gophers. For the final, it all depends on who plays. It will be very interesting to see what the NCHC draws for any game not involving North Dakota at the Target. Next year in Detroit, don't expect much if it's not Michigan or MSU. For the WCHA, I expect to be underwhelmed by attendance.

I don't know about tickets sold, but can't have been more than 2500 to 3000 in attendance at either game.
