Sam is 5-3-0 and Jussi is 8-6-3. That tell me that either (1) the team plays better in front of Adam and, at the end of the day, wins are the only thing that matters; or (2) Adam has played easier teams. Probably some combination of both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-14237777004457664832012-03-04T15:35:10.338-07:002012-03-04T15:35:10.338-07:00Zack Hope should definitely be in the over-achieve...Zack Hope should definitely be in the over-achiever category.

A product of the east coast college scene, came to the WCHA, no doubt expecting a cake job, considering he had a fabulous goalie in Sam Brittain ready & waiting for him in Colorado. Before the guy is finished unpacking in his new house, Brittain goes down, and he has Miller & Gwozdecky looking at him going, "OK, now what?"<br /><br />I think he did a great job given the adverse start. Juho turned out to be a gem.

Autobid to the AHA that has no teams in the top 16 of PWR (guaranteed to have to be in top 15 of PWR then). And, I could definitely see the autobids for the WCHA and ECAC going to teams that aren't currently in the top 16. And obviously, there's the possibility that HE and CCHA will have the same. I'd say you need to be top 13 in the PWR to get in. Lose 2 out of 3 to Wisco and we could easily drop more than two spots. <br /><br />And a couple slight corrections, that would be the BroAdmoor nothing, and 6 teams beating their brains out.

Going up to St. Paul and getting into top effort games and then returning on Sunday and flying out to some indian outpost like Worchester Mass. is counter productive. The Mac Naughton cup is the Mac Nothing cup as far as I'm concerned. Seeding in the tournament means squat.<br />The 04 team got it right by not going up to St.Paul and resting and practicing at Magness while the other ten teams beat their brains out up at St. Paul.Aluuumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-62528183359551258252012-03-04T08:21:54.548-07:002012-03-04T08:21:54.548-07:00Great job by Doremus to get the game winner, and e...Great job by Doremus to get the game winner, and end the regular season on a very high note.
