Here is an interesting discussion from B.C. Interruption I must say that I am nervous as well. One might say that it is hard to concentrate at work today. I am hoping that the third time is a charm against the Eagles. It would be interesting if the Fighting Sioux and the Fighting Irish both advance to the Frozen Four Finals the battle of the....
Last one, Toss Up - Who ya got? BC - North Dakota, and Michigan - Notre Dame?
Brian: I am nervous about the Eagles matchup tomorrow. It's REALLY hard to beat a team 3 years in a row in the national semifinals, but I'm going to go with my heart here and say that the Eagles keep things rolling. For the other matchup, again it's really difficult to beat a team 3 times in the same season ... ask this year's version of the Dallas Cowboys. I'm going to go the other way on this. I'm going with Notre Dame with the major upset, if only because Notre Dame survived the West regional of death, and Michigan had, by far, the easiest road to the Frozen Four. All Catholic final, let's do this.
Jeff: Notre Dame beat New Hampshire easily and then went on to beat Michigan State in this tournament. I don't know a lot about hockey but I know UNH had a good season so Notre Dame is clearly playing well and I give them the edge. Michigan expects to win and therefore has pressure, ND has no pressure on them to win. In the important matchup, I'm going with BC, obviously. What difference does it make that we've beat North Dakota the last two years? 3 times in one year might be a big deal but 3 times in 3 years ... no big deal. In 2001 North Dakota scored two late goals to force OT but then somehow BC regained composure and won the game. If BC could beat them under those circumstances I certainly expect them to win before the game starts tomorrow!
Foggy Notion: Eagles and Sioux destined to meet again.
Eagles confident they'll measure up
B.C.'s Muse plays like seasoned veteran
No stopping him: Irish's Pearce always wanted to be a goalie
Ok so a few things, BC Interuption breakdown of UND said the key for UND to win is the Toews-Oshie-Duncan Line lighting the lamp.... Come on if I was going to write up my thoughts about a team, I would at least get the common sense to know where the best 19 year old on skates is playing???? Try the NHL, but hey thats cool if they meant David, but we all know that Toews isnt coming till next year, and TJ will be with me in STL.
ReplyDeleteAlso a side note Julie Robenhymer's blog???? Weak! She just posted her thoughts on todays matchup, but again lack of knowledge, since when does UND play in the CCHA??? And she also reiterated like 3 times that BC UND is an interconference matchup??? wow, I think Im getting too pesimistic because Im getting anxious for another five hours!!!!!!!
GO SIOUX!!
KO+SHIE+CAN = #8
Thanks for the Heads up Brian.
ReplyDeleteI will check out here blog.

ReplyDeleteWhile I'll agree with you that putting UND and the CCHA is pretty poor, but she's right on the interconfrence matchup. If she said intraconfrence then she would have been wrong.
Sorry, but my wife a teacher so that's rubbing off on me.
Yeah I will let that one slide as well, I posted a response on her blog to let her know that she missed that one. But I can't fault a girl from New Jersy (Miss NJ) for getting that one wrong...
