Conference playoffs scary teams

Re: Conference playoffs scary teams

Hockey East, I'd rather not see Northeastern again. They seem to match up well vs. BC.
 
Re: Conference playoffs scary teams

Cornell scares me. I never know if they're going to bother to show up or, if they do at all, to remember to focus on hockey instead of dumb retaliation penalties. My biggest fear is that the world will be deprived of hearing the Cornell fanbase moan about Atlantic City....
 
Re: Conference playoffs scary teams

Besides the obvious answers:

1. MN
2. MN
3. MN
...
nth: SCSU


Teams least feared right now? WI. Denver.

MN is on a pretty good run right now, and they're playing with some confidence.

I think the Final 5 this year could be crazy good. Assuming all six teams come from a group that include UND, DU, UMD, UNO, MN, CC, Wis, and SCSU, anyone could win that tournament. This could easily be the year the WCHA screws a team from another conference by producing an automatic qualifier who otherwise would not have made the tournament. That would feel nice. :D

Agreed.

Union will ruin someone's dreams this spring. Hopefully Yale*'s
 
Re: Conference playoffs scary teams

Every Coach will tell you that the scariest team in the conference tournament will be the one they are playing.

At least Yale will be playing somewhere in four weeks, unlike Brown. The only Meehan Madness is your delusion that Brown is relevant anymore.
 
Re: Conference playoffs scary teams

It's looking like the two teams that fit this description in the WCHA will face each other in the first round. If it happens, I'll be pulling my hair out in bunches much like the Gopher-Mankato series in 2008.

With the exception of Tech, I'd say any team in the WCHA could be a scary team in the playoffs, the league is just that close this season.

Who'd tUMD bone when Stalock stood on his head?
 
Re: Conference playoffs scary teams

Minnesota, North Dakota and Denver :p:D:D

FWIW, I believe Duluth was a bubble team that only had to advance past the play-in game to make the tournament.

Stalock *ed everyone that weekend. It was unreal. I think he literally had $Texas horseshoes up his arse.
