WCHA Playoffs '11.0

Re: WCHA Playoffs '11.0

Livestats not keeping the time updated, only on a penalty or goal..... seems like BSU getting more shots, but I've also been watching our Bruins win their 5th straight, all on the road, all in Canada!!! :)
 
Re: WCHA Playoffs '11.0

UND gets the win on a coast-to-coast goal by MLK at 16:00 of the OT. Single assist to goaltender Stephanie Ney, her second of the game.

It'll be Wisconsin vs. North Dakota on Friday at 4:07 p.m. CT.

Don't expect to see this. The WCHA put an end to the game of musical benches that some teams like to play.

Not trying to start anything here . . . but isn't Ridder supposed to be a neutral site? Therefore the higher seeded team should get the advantage of the home bench, should they not??
 
Re: WCHA Playoffs '11.0

So, pretty much as expected first round. Leaves us with

Wisconsin vs. North Dakota: my prediction is Wisconsin, easily.

UMD vs MN: I predict UMD in another 3-2 or 2-1 type game. Though it cetainly could go either way. Both teams have been playing pretty good hockey the 2nd half. UMD hasn't been truly tested for awhile, but they seem to have found their stride while their goal tending and D has certainly been much better this second half. As always, should be an interesting match-up.

What advantage is that? I think it is more an issue of logistics. It makes more sense to have a team use a bench that is accessible to its locker room. So the WCHA is going to control it. For some reason, issues like this never surface with Wisconsin. They just play.

Has Wisconsin ever been in the same circumstance? I don't actually know-- so just asking.

Yes. Wisconsin was the #1 seed in both 2006 and '07 with the WCHA tourney at Ridder. Minnesota played them both years and Wisconsin won while using the "visitor" bench.

Huh. Okay, thanks! I don't think it's good or bad, the whole visitor/ home bench thing. But I think it's pretty funny to see people get bent out of shape about it. :) Really, I've got to think it doesn't affect the teams. The are near-professionals and they've played enough that something like that shouldn't rattle them or get in their head.

I'll ask again, who other than you and another UMD fan made the bench factor an issue...a large issue in your mind apparently. Who was "bent out of shape" over the bench issue, to use your exact words?

Any answers? Or will we just get another typical and incredibly mature response as was your last post?
 
Re: WCHA Playoffs '11.0

I don't exactly think your questions are sincere in their presumed "maturity" so I'm really not inclined to engage with you as such since you're only motive is to attack. You spend a lot of time making more out of people's posts than what is really there in the interest of... well, I have no idea why you do what you do.

It's interesting that you want to call me out on maturity since you just removed your tag line on your signature... "Skatefast is the same as thinkslow", or whatever it was... not to mention that you are the person who reps me most with very "mature" statements. People in glass houses should not throw stones.
