It's official. DU playing BU in St. Paul. And 1 seed SCSU (3rd overall) playing Ferris State. Once again the NCAA does all things possible to avoid a one conference Frozen Four by putting DU and SCSU in the same regional. 1 seed NoDak (2nd overall) will play Michigan in Cincinnati. Minnesota-Duluth (a 3 seed) will play Providence in Worcester, Mass.

SCSU is the overall second, which is why they were placed at the X over UND, the third #1 seed

I don't mind having St. Cloud in our bracket, we're due to beat them. We totally outplayed them last time (SOG, time of possession, etc) and if it hadn't for a goal off of a DU butt, things might have gone differently. I do mind having ND in our bracket though. 3 NCHC teams on one side and just one on the other. Oh well, bring on whomever, DU is the team to beat this year, we are the dark horse of the tournament.

Are all y'all able to get flights home late Saturday night so you don't have to waste $$$ on a room after the game?

The committee is trying to avoid the 2005 (2004?) situation they saw in Boston, when the Frozen Four was populated with all WCHA teams at the time. The rest of the nation didn't much like that situation.

Western teams have pitched in themselves to keep that situation from happening since!

Huh? The Frozen Four was Maine, BC, Minnesota-Duluth and Denver. The final was Maine vs Denver.

DU got a commitment from Will MacKinnon of Ohio who is currently playing for Honeybaked U16 team. Not sure what year he is coming as he will be 16 next month. He is on Team USA's radar as he played on the U-16 team that won gold at the YOG. Edit: College Hockey Inc has him coming in 2018/19.

Hey Guys, I see that Connor McCarthy de-committed from DU and committed to Clarkson. Any idea on the change of heart from either the coaching staff or the player? Thanks for the feedback.

Doesn't sound too kosher to me...

What a game! I hope our boys saved some goals for tomorrow against Ferris!

Congrats. Although my team stunk, there's always two sides to every coin and some of that is Denver demoralizing them.
 
Re: ALL THINGS DENVER--XL--This one's for Old Pio

Well that was fun!! Anything on the injury report we should be worried about?
