Minnesota State: Take the Next Step 2019-2020

Re: Minnesota State: Take the Next Step 2019-2020

I really feel that he was one of the reasons for our continued success when Michaelis was out. But with our deep lineup, we'll be OK going forward.
 
Re: Minnesota State: Take the Next Step 2019-2020

Well, another banner and another opportunity to host a WCHA title game if the Mavs advance that far.

Nice to see them respond well on Saturday, and frankly, to be in a hostile environment, back against the wall, that was excellent prep for the NCAA Tournament where we ALLLLLLL know more is expected this year.

Michigan Tech headed to Mankato. They should have a nice following of fans there, and they’re always fun for the atmosphere, gonna be a great weekend of hockey!
 
Re: Minnesota State: Take the Next Step 2019-2020

I ordered my playoff tickets last night. Here is the exact wording on my confirmation;

Thank you for your purchase of Minnesota State Hockey Playoff Tickets! We will notify you when your tickets are ready for pick-up at the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center Box Office. We highly encourage you to pick up your tickets prior to game day in order to avoid the line on game day! Thank you for your purchase! Your tickets will be at the Verizon Center box office window the night of the event. If you have any questions, please contact at 507-389-6111. We will see you at the rink.

Then, my confirming email says they will be at the box office the night of the event. WHICH IS IT? I will call to find out. But, based on my prior experiences with the Athletic Office, when I call, the call will be answered by some poor student working in the office who has no clue as to the fact that the hockey team is in the playoffs, and then will not know who to transfer the call to to answer my question.

Thankfully, the team is coached by people who are experts at what they do.

I’d pick them up anytime this week — if they’re not ready and you have your confirmation and ID I would suspect they can print them there.

I drove down to the Civic Center today and got mine. Just walked up to the window, handed them my "seat licenses" and Visa card, and they printed them out for me.
 
Re: Minnesota State: Take the Next Step 2019-2020

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..
 
Re: Minnesota State: Take the Next Step 2019-2020

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.
 
Re: Minnesota State: Take the Next Step 2019-2020

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.
 
Re: Minnesota State: Take the Next Step 2019-2020

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.
 
Re: Minnesota State: Take the Next Step 2019-2020

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.
