North Star College Cup: Minnesota State, UMD, Minnesota & Bemidji State

As they always say in investment literature, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

So all of the Mavs wins this season and all of Minnesota's struggles doesn't mean MSUM will win. Thanks for cheering me up!

I was referring to past performance of Mavs vs. Gophers, but take it any way you want. All that matters is what happens on the ice on Friday.

And that's probably even more true here than with investments. But despite not putting the puck in the net as often as they should, the Gophers are looking better lately. Even though the Mavs have the No. 1 ranking, I see the game as a tossup.

This Mavs team is the deepest it has ever been. In the past it might be 2 maybe 3 lines. It can roll 4 lines and still have reserves. JP LaFontaine has been healthy scratched 2 of the last 4 games.

I like the Mavs in a high scoring game, 5-4.
UMD 5-2 over BSU

Parking will be a real challenge on Saturday because of all the events:
http://www.visitsaintpaul.com/Plan-Your-Stay/Winter-Fun/January-24th?camefrom=EMCL_501153_22286821

but you can print vouches for free bus or light rail rides to downtown here:
http://www.visitsaintpaul.com/Plan-Your-Stay/Winter-Fun/January-24th/Free-Rides

or you'll be able to take a free shuttle from many bars and restaurants on this map:
http://www.visitsaintpaul.com/Plan-Your-Stay/Winter-Fun/January-24th/Free-Shuttles

The rides to the Crashed Ice event will not drop you off at the Xcel door but the drop-off point will be a short walk to the arena, and the weather is supposed to be warm for this time of year. If you take one of the free shuttles I suggest that you call the establishment first for times and the exact pickup location.

 

[MavHockey14]

Yeah, I got upper-level seats.

You must be blue-line club. I heard they got lower bowl, while us regular peons got upper.

Longevity of season tickets is a factor as well.

 

[MavHockey14]

Yes, please.

Whoa curt is around?! Couldn't agree more though.

Don't tell my boss, but this might be the most informative thing I read today. I'd see the lines in the paper, but never understood hockey betting before (or baseball betting either, for that matter), but now I kinda get it. I'm still sticking to "loser buys the beer," but it's good to know.

There are a couple sites that have the FF, but this the only site I've found that has College Hockey in season. Nice payout on the Money Line if Bemidji beats UMD, but IMO that's probably throwing $100 away.

Re: North Star College Cup: Minnesota State, UMD, Minnesota & Bemidji State

I would say the only number that surprise me is Minnesota on the money line. To get Minnesota at +170 to straight up win the game is pretty decent, imho.

The MN-Mankato o/u is intriguing as well. Hockey games are notorious for a 5.5 o/u. Comparing it to the UMD/BSU line, you can almost see they expect both games to hit at 6 goals.

We'll see, I guess.

Agreed, I was intrigued by the UMN Money Line as well. Not too bad a wager to open with $100. The under 61/2 on UMN is also good.

I'm not a fan of that bet. -140 isn't that great. If it was -110 or something, maybe. Last year's games would have paid the under, but both teams are pretty productive offensively, and Wilcox has struggled recently.

If I had $100 to throw around right now, I would put it on Bemidji.

I don't think so. I've had my season tickets for 15 years. A guy who sits a couple of seats down from me has had his since the D-II days. We got upper deck.

Re: North Star College Cup: Minnesota State, UMD, Minnesota & Bemidji State

You don't have to bet the entire $100, it's just a ratio. North Americans just can't handle fractions/decimals like they do with European betting odds.

Also, I don't think MSU has ever given up less than five goals in a game at the X. Maybe the over is the safe play.

Hmm. I was told it was..I know of a 15 year holder who is lower level but not in the Blue Line Club.

Well, I am 8 years (not nearly as long as MavsFan), and I'm in the upper level for the 2nd year. Every Blue Line member I know is in the lower level and every non member I know is in the upper level.
