College Hockey This weekend

[solbes]

Muskie season doesn't start for 110 days fellas. College hockey is here and now. (And boy did my team smell up the joint again). Luckily I didn't waste 1 minute following the UMD games. Onto the pick'em results:

cbrooks 6, shorelunch 6, solbes 8, ScSavr 9, and Bear 14. Bear's obviously just having fun predicting sweeps from AA and UofM. Cumulative tallies for the year below. Will be a two man race soon if I can't make some headway.

1) Shorelunch 1.04 w/ 5 weeks

2) ScSavr 1.07 w/ 6 weeks

3) Solbes 1.15 w/ 10 weeks

4) Cbrooks 1.35 w/ 10 weeks

5) Bear 1.95 w/ 4 weeks

[cbrooks]

You can blame Mr.Scott Savre a.k.a [pleasebecomeasponser] for the hijack. The only sponser Scott needs is one for AA . Only kidding. I wish HSO would get that fix.

I'm making a comeback a little bit. Here's my picks for this week.

CC vs BSU-split

Minnesota vs Wisconsin-split

UND vs SCSU-4pts UND

UNO vs AA-split

UMD vs Mankato-split

Mich Tech vs Denver-4pts Denver

Holy man. Upsets and ties across the board last night. UND could have been a victim but there lucky black jersay probably save them. Go Sioux

Holy man. Upsets and ties across the board last night.

I was just thinking the same thing, crazy weekend and we are only half way through.

[cbrooks]

How about Denver. The last team I thought that Michigan Tech would beat to end there winless streak. They didn't show the Gopher game up here in GF. I was hoping to watch that game but watching the wild was fun too.

[scsavre]

Gopher game was another laughable performance by the refs.

The Gophs are dangerous. Maybe peaking at the right time, or maybe just getting lucky. We know they are good against good teams. I am interested to see what they do the next 5 games.

UND must be very happy with the upsets last night. even UNO is right on the edge.

[cbrooks]

UND is just happy to get a tie from the sounds of it. Frattin scored a nice goal at the end of the game to send it to overtime. I guess the refs screwed up on a goal disallowed but I haven't seen it myself yet.

the refs have been the worse that I can remember. i've seen it go both ways. Hakstal was interveiwed after the game and he couldn't believe the call that disallowed the goal in third. It sounded like it should have been a penalty on them instead. Goalie interference was th reason. Who knows. I'll take a tie I guess.

[Bear55]

The gophs are playing great hockey right now, even when they lose they are at least putting up a fight. Too bad they coasted through the first half of the season. Pretty much every game is a must win for them and I would love nother more then to sweep WI right now.

[Bear55]

Well you have to be happy with 3 points on the road at WI but wow what a boring OT, they should have just called the game at the end of regulation, both teams playing for the tie.

[cbrooks]

I'm getting the feeling Minnesota will peak at the right time. I might be premature saying something like that this early.

[solbes]

Pick'em results for the week:

cbrooks 5, shorelunch 7, solbes 7, ScSavr 11, Bear 11.

Cumulative results:

1) Shorelunch 1.06, 6 weeks

2) Solbes 1.15, 11 weeks

3) ScSavr 1.19, 7 weeks

4) Cbrooks 1.29, 11 weeks

5) Bear 1.93, 5 weeks

Tough to make any hay with Friday's results. Besides the Sioux squeaking out a tie, it was upside down for the teams in positions 2-4.

Nice weekend for the Gophers. They are poised to make a little run with Tech coming to town.

[Bear55]

I'm going strait PWR this week and the gophers need some help, come on dogs and huskies!!!

UMD sweeps CC

St Cloud sweeps WI

I probably don't need to ask but whats your prediction for the UND/BSU game?

[Bear55]

What the he11! I was on uscho.com earlier and they didn't have the UND/BSU game listed, now it's there. I thought it was a little funny to have an off weekend this late in the season.

and Beaver SWEEP!!!!

[cbrooks]

BSU vs UND-UND 4 pts

[solbes]

Ever the optimist on that bet you made...

[Bear55]

It's all about a positive attitude, that and a guy on the inside who specializes in food poisoning.

[solbes]

UMD vs CC-UMD 3pts

SCSU vs Wisconsin-split

Minnesota vs Mich Tech-Goldy Sweep

Denver vs UNO-split

BSU vs UND-Sioux sweep

[cbrooks]

If I win this bet Bear. I would be open be a double or nothing type bet for playoff time. Scott says he's still with the wager so maybe he will be up for it. I don't want to get too cocky yet so we will See how everything plays out. If you got any ideas throw em out there.

[scsavre]

I cant even remember the terms. I usually drink alot while on this site- I sure hope I didnt pet my dog, truck or boat...

I better get back in the grove, my picks are almost as bad as Brooks.

UMD CC Split

St Cloud WI Split

Gophers sweep Tech

Denver and UNO split

Nodak BSu Nodak 3 points.

[Shorelunch]

UMD vs CC-UMD 3pts

SCSU vs Wisconsin-split

Minnesota vs Mich Tech-Gopher sweep

Denver vs UNO-split

BSU vs UND-Sioux 3 points

Should be fun weekend. UND can clinch a share of the The Cup with a UNO split and a CC point. Obviously lots of teams fighting for points.

I am game, like you said lets see how things shake out and maybe some kind final five gambler showdown will be in order.

[solbes]

I remember lots of soft goals in college hockey, but this one has to take the cake. Replay shows he ALMOST made that save.

I'm kind of doubting the Sioux will wrap up the season when they have to play Tech.
