I'm a bit late to this party, but I gotta chime in here. Living in MN, I'm in enemy territory (I'm a UND Fighting Sioux grad). Went with the wife to the Final 5 (WCHA conf tourney) semi, and took the whole family to the final game. The Sioux seemed to just be playing with CC and Denver in those games. They came out in the NCAAs and have been on FIRE. 6-0 and 6-1. Wow! Of all the trophys they've taken home this year, they haven't touched ANY of them. They have only one goal and one trophy they want to touch and celebrate. It's been a mission for them since last year ended, and I'd say they're the favorite to win it. 15 game unbeaten streak. Dell is playing well in the net, and they have a TON of firepower, especially with Gregoire coming back for the NCAAs, and Kristo coming back for the Final 5. IMO, Frattin should win the Hobey this year (but I AM a homer there).
We might try to get tickets to one or both games (should they make it). It would be AWESOME to see them hoist the trophy in person in Rodent country.
GO SIOUX!!!!
