How they hanging? Banners that is...

Quite the night of hockey! Michigan State bottles up Maine and heads to the final with a 4-2 workman like victory. First time since 86 they make a final appearance.

The second game was a lil more exciting. Exciting because once again BC ends Suzie's year. The hacking and slashing got them this time. They got penalties when they least could afford them. Eastern bias I guess. Or was it these excuses:

"The amount of times they showed BC fans during breaks was also very sickening. They showed BC fans 10x more than they showed a Sioux fan. Grossing me out"

"Evidently the black and white have a line on the game"

"You just don't send a team down 2 men on the ice with 4 minutes left in final four game"

Final Four? Guess Florida State really took it to Suzie errrr, I mean Notre Dame. errrrrr....I mean North Carolina! LOL! Has any team ever been renamed more the the Tractor Pull Nation?

I'm not even going to address the ref's comments! Head over to itsalltherefsfault.com for the full read! OBTW. No you have not finished "Higher" then Minny. Both teams FAILED to win the Title. So, technically they are both losers! You can moth ball your Holy Cross Jersey's for a bit.

My BC jersey stays out for at least 2 more nights!

Is it October yet?

We have a couple banners to hang!

The end

The season was put to an end Sunday with a OT goal (weak at best) by a very determined Sue team. Play was carried most of the game by them. Talk about flat. Did they have nothing left in the tank for these guys? Humm.....NO. They got beat by a better team. Not all around better, just playing their best hockey when it counts.

The off season looks to be a little iffy. Johnson and Goli are more then likely gone. Vannelli and Briggs(ave) graduate. There is talk of Man beast and Barriball leaving. Not to mention Wheeler. I wish the NC$$ would step in and stop this BS by the NHL. They should not be eligible for the DRAFT until the end of their junior year at any given school. Not going to happen!
Greed rules ALL!

So let's look forward to the semi's. Maine got lucky again. How does this team even get to the show? Eastern bias. Michigan St. proved they can play. ND was taken out by them. Look for a close game but State making the trip to the championship.

Next is BC and Suzie. Both teams are on fire. Lammy will need to stand on his head and have the BEST GAME OF HIS LIFE to beat BC. They are a awesome team to watch. This is a rematch from last year. That game was not even close. BC carried the play and coasted to the F4.

GO BC!

Folks we are going to have a NON WCHA team as champion this year.

2 out of 3 ain't bad! LOL! Is it October yet?

Grounded

The flyboys are done! Minny comes ROARING back.

That was not the team I watched last Saturday night. They showed they are ready to play when they need.

SCARY!

At least we don't have to watch the pukes to the West wearing AirForce jerseys.

GO BLUE, Dump the SUE!

Hey...

Drop the puck! Game day baby! Boy was it fun rooting for Maine last night! JBSU lives up to their other name, One and done U. I must point this out, HolyCross has more wins in the NC$$'s then the mullet nation! Should I run out and get my Maine jersey? Nope! CLASS!

Don't know what I was doing picking Clarkson to go past the first round. Oh well 3 pick out of four on the poll at GPL.

Today the Goof's face the flyboy's. They have two very dynamic players. 11 Minnesota boys and 4 goalies. Yes, 4 goalies. As posted earlier the mainly played a weak schedule. They gave a few WCHA teams a scare. Speed will be the key. Dump and grind! RJ is in the lineup, at forward. Let's see if he can get his first.

Today I shed my hatred for Michigan. GO BLUE!

DROP THE PUCK ALREADY!

The field is set. The POI head West to face The Air Force team. The selection commitee switched the 15 and 16 seeds around. So overall No. 1, Minnesota get's the 15 seed. The only reason I can see for this is fan draw. The regional is devoid of CC and UD/DU. So Air Force is the draw.
By far the hardest region. Michigan should give Suzie ALL they can handle. Air Force has played CC, UD/DU, ND and Alaska twice. They lost each game, but not by much.
