On the eve of the 'Four
Tomorrow at 2pm Mountain Time the Frozen Four will officially kick of with Maine and Michigan State then followed at 6pm by the WCHA rep. North Dakota and much hyped Boston College. As ESPN does a brief overview of the games, I would love to open it up and see what everyone thinks will happen tomorrow and then Saturday night. Personally, I will pick Maine to take out Michigan State in a close game early. The reason for this is not because I want it to happen (I don't like the east teams that have a media following) but simply because of experience. Maine is consistly in the top 10 each season and has won a National Title recently. However, State does have an experienced coach that will keep it close and I would love to see them pull it out but I think they will be slightly overmatched in this one.
Later tomorrow night I am going to pick the WCHA North Dakota Fighting ----- (they lost their appeal so who knows what they will be next year). This boils down to a hatred of all things BC on all the websites and highlights and wanting the WCHA to win it all again. Also, ND took down a rolling Minnesota team and has really come together late in the year, a team that I personally thought wouldn't even make the WCHA tournament not too long ago. BC plays a weaker schedule and I think will be worn down in a close game, but I'll take ND somewhere in the range of 5-3. I will also pick them to win it all over Maine Saturday night; they will be on a roll and Maine will be tired after beating a pesky up-and-coming Michigan State team. These are my unscientific picks, let's hear yours!

Sweet new look to your blog, I like it. I hate B.C. almost as much as the Gophers. They are a heated rival and they always have fast teams.
I hope UND comes out focused and ready to even the score.
UND DID NOT LOSE THEIR APPEAL. They were actually granted a temporary injunction allowing the use of the logo in the postseason. Trial against the NCAA begins in the fall.
GO SIOUX!
Ironically I don't mind ND at all for the same reasons, but I do love their uniforms. I totally agree with the CC stripe right across the numbers, I don't get it but I'll inquire about it. Might be fun for a bunch of us to design a new one just for the heck of it! (I'm a designer so I might take it up when school is done next month)
f*ck BC!
I think the Tigers should leave their Jersey's the way they are. I like them especially the black one. A lot nicer than the ugly DU ones.
Yea they aren't bad by any means, just need a few tweaks. Unfortunately, I've never seen the black ones in person since they only wear them for away games. The jersey I don't like is the bright yellow throwback that was the 3rd jersey this season. They replaced the pale gold one from last year that I really liked. From the looks of the jerseys on fans this season, I wasn't the only one-it's extremely popular and would be nice to have it as the solid color home jersey next year along with the white.
