The Gophers play the evening game in the Final Five regardless of their seed, correct?
I believe that rule has been changed for this year.
It that all you've got?

You have to travel to Wisconsin too, you think that's going to be easy for you?
You have to face UMD, yet another MN team who will get up for you and you have to face Denver, a team that has not been swept in WCHA play by anyone not named SCSU in 5 years.
So CC took 3 from Denver, a rival that they get up for.
That means what exactly for us?
We beat DU 3 of 4, have already swept CC and let's not forget that CC plays a style that fits well with what we want to do.
Yes we have pressure and he's an idiot for saying we don't but we also have a nice lead and if we do what we are capable, we will keep that lead.
BTW...nice prediction yet again.
I have to admit, I can't tell if you're backing off or if you're still trying to push it. Either way, I couldn't help chuckle at this one.You seemed rather morose and I was just trying to brighten your mood. But if you don't want a hug, you can just say so. It won't hurt my feelings.
The hug is always on the table.
I'm not sure if your post abou my prediction is serious or sarcastic. I never once predicted a sweep, go ahead and look at my posts if you'd like. I predicted that the Gophers would win on Friday, but that I had no idea on Saturday. So I guess I was right in that respect, huh?
And I wasn't only talking about the Gophers challenging. UND is still very much alive as well. I've gotten the sense that you know your stuff more than some people on here and as such, I'm sure you don't believe that the race is over.
You never mentioned UND, you talked about the Huskies schedule and you were responding to a Husky fan, so if you intended to include UND, I missed it.
And no it's not over but we are in the driver's seat are we not?
It's plausible we take 4 from CC and MTU, which would put us at 39 right there.
UND and MN have a hill to climb, that's all I'm saying.
It is highly plaus
If we take 4pts this weekend from Bucky (doable since they suck) we are only 1pt back and have UMD at home while you guys get CC on the road. I like our chances.
And I like ours.
The following week, you get DU, we get Tech, then you go to Bemidji we go to Wisconsin.
Again, NO ONE, is saying it's wrapped up, just that SCSU right now, has the best shot at it with the lead we have.
I agree. Huskies are definitely in the driver's seat. All they need to do is take care of their business.
Sweeps have been a tall order for the Gophers this season.If we take 4pts this weekend from Bucky (doable since they suck) we are only 1pt back and have UMD at home while you guys get CC on the road. I like our chances.

We've been saving them up to take the Cup in a more dramatic fashion, of course. I say one more loss the rest of the way and the Cup is ours. Two or maybe a couple of extra ties would require some bad games from the huskies. Still a decent possibility thought.
