Yesterday before the games had been played they had around a 98% chance to get in. Every game result went the wrong way for them.

Let him know that they’ve lost to UMD 8 straight times for me too pls, thx.That's correct. I thought @adchester was talking about after the dust had settled last night.
A curling friend of mine talks like Gopher hockey is a blessing from God and we all should be thankful that it exists. I'll be happy to remind him, on Wednesday, who is in the tournament and who is watching from home.
UMD in the frozen four for the second year in a row with a new goalie and 5 freshman starting in defense. We’ve been easily the best team in Minnesota over the past 10 years
Definitely possibly but I’d say it’s pretty unlikely for a number of reasons.Any chance Minnesota-TwinCities makes a move for the coach at UMD.
The college hockey tournament is probably the worst way to decide a championship in sports. The last at large in will probably win, because they're playing a home game essentially. The number 1 seed went out to the last seed, and that happens pretty frequently. You're just as likely to win the tournament as the last at large as you are as the number one overall seed.
HOT TAKES in here. How is it any different than the basketball tournament that is universally loved, where I seem to remember the 1 seed went out to the last seed too?The college hockey tournament is probably the worst way to decide a championship in sports.

That’s fair, I think it would be better at representing the best team of the season to move to that, but I kinda like that you have to show up (and usually be kinda lucky too) each and every game. Going to a series would reduce the amount of upsets but I don’t really know by how much. Hockey has a lot of parity and if you’re in the top 16, you can definitely take a series from the top team in the country on any given weekend.
I love the having the top seed host for the first two rounds though. No idea why they don’t do that
I think some teams/fan had really bad or scary experiences when they used to that. Love Michigan hockey, but when Yost is rocking and angry, it can be extremely hostile. Parents of the opposing team wanting to fight fans is not unusual. Great for Michigan, not great for anybody else there.
I mean yes...but its been six years lol. Don't have to be great but should be past the 20-2 stage.ASU doesn't have a rich donor to jumpstart the program's move from club to varsity like Penn State does.
UMD is not as good this year as the past two championship years so I'm not getting my hopes up but Sandelin coached teams don't have bad games in the tourney. Should be a fun competitive game. Hopefully whoever wins kicks North Dakota's ass.
I like when they word it like this. It's the protocol's fault. Not that a fairly small group of people couldn't properly quarantine themselves for arguably the most important tournament of their lives by just wearing masks.

Smh, just bad D at the end. North Dakota has the momentum, but I guess its anyone's game in OT. If UMD doesn't pull it off, no shame in losing to UND though.
