Re: NCAA West Regional: St. Cloud State/Ferris State, Boston U/Denver

Just got word today that there will be NO tailgating by the GPLers. Some are out of town, and there's that whole Easter thing. Kinda sad about that, but what can ya do?

Funny. There are about 10 more of us than CC's base. Five of us travel.

I'm not cutting CC any favors. I know one CC fan. He's also an Air Force fan, pretty sure you know who he is. ;)

Honestly, I think the only DU fan I've met since I've joined is actually Swami. Total respect to that guy. Very glad I met him.

Poop. Drinking at a bar is way more expensive than drinking in a parking lot. :(

SCSU BlackandRed said:
Think they'll handle Ferris based on sheer skill and the experience of the seniors. They've been through this every year of their career although this year they have great support from the underclassmen as well. Best SCSU team that I can remember in my years and years of following them.

I've seen both SCSU and Ferris this season. The good news is you'll get an eastern officiating crew in all likelihood. FSU took 4 boarding calls last weekend that could all have easily been majors, so you can see how close they play to the edge of legality. But don't sleep on them - they are very effective at eliminating your best players. Depth is key to beating them, your 3rd & 4th lines must contribute. They're good about leaving shot lanes for their goalie to see and clogging up your guy.

Score early on them, the Bulldogs have very few ways to get back in the game when they're behind by 2.

Depth is the one thing SCSU has in spades.

yup... Ferris has 2 guys with 10 or more goals. In comparison we have 10 and three of those are on the 3rd and 4th lines (Jackson 10, Winiecki 12, Peterson 16). Our 3rd leading goal scorer (peterson) has spent time on the 4th line.

Of course the lines combos are always changing but the 3rd and 4th lines above are what I recall being out there during NCHC frozen faceoff.
 
Re: NCAA West Regional: St. Cloud State/Ferris State, Boston U/Denver

I'm actually looking forward to the SCSU vs. Ferris game. Even though they've beaten Denver like a rented mule this season, they're an exciting team and a dangerous team to watch. What I love about SCSU is the speed in all four lines and their ability to transition before the opposition knows what even happened to them.

I'll say St. Cloud comes out with a 4-2 win. Ferris will hang with them for the 1st and 2nd period, but St. Cloud will pull away in the 3rd and wear down the Ferris resolve.

Obviously Ferris is going to try and slow the game down, clog up the neutral zone, etc. What a lot of people may not realize is that St Cloud's team defense is ranked 10th in nation. Everyone knows about their offense and their depth, but their team defense is also a great strength. Ferris State would be smart to stay out of the penalty box too.

I liked this one from the USCHO West Regional Preview.

"Why they won’t get to the Frozen Four: The old saw is that defense wins championships, so St. Cloud needs to shore itself up in the defensive zone."

Denver gave them some trouble in the NCHC game but were unlucky. I would favor SCSU though to go through. So much speed and they're solid in the back. However....GO PIONEERS!

Not much to talk about here. I think there is already a consensus that St. Cloud is going to breeze right through this regional. But if you feel like it, go ahead and explain why your team will not just be another piece of red meat tossed to the beast that is the St. Cloud State hockey team.
