WCHA the Wild Jr are in, sometimes they show up sometimes then dont but thats the fun

round 1 Friday to Sunday best of 3

CC at Duluth
Mankato at St Cloud State
Alaska Anchorage at Wisconsin
Minnesota @ North Dakota
Michigan Tech at Denver

so the Rodents lost to Wisconsin on friday 3-2 but steamed them today 6-1 (Leddy had a goal.. oh wait he doesn't play for us anymore )

My prediction

CC, St. Cloud, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Denver

yes i'm pulling for the gophs just can't bring my self to cheer against them

Can't count your rodents out yet. They've been playing really good hockey this past month. Although I don't envy your match up @ ND. If Gophs make the final five they'll have earned their spot. Now enough of this feel good Gopher talk from me. Go Huskies!!! (SCSU not MT)

My pick is similar to yours with one diff.

UM-Duluth, SCSU, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Denver. Let's just say I'm not so much rooting for Minn, but rooting against ND.

Remember that epic SCSU vs Minn game years back when the score was like 8-7 SCSU, it was crazy SCSU goes up Gophs tie it up, it was just a competitive contest and then the Goph goalie was out of position in OT

good gravy, ND. Hopefully we can beat em.

The one match up that I think people have to watch out for is the 'Kato-Cloud game. I say that because I think it'll go 3 games, and you never know what could happen in that 3rd game.

Otherwise... I'm not really going to pay much attention this year (and I haven't either.) The Gophers just need to be "put down" and get this season over with.

'Kato has St. Clould State's number. I see that series going 3 games with possibly the upset special with an upperclassmen laden Mankato team possibly pulling off the upset. It's still hard though to bet against a team with Lasch and Roe on it. I think UMD/CC plays on Sunday. I'll be there for Saturday for sure, and Sunday if necessary, and I think it will.
