<p>University of North Dakota
University of Minnesota
Colorado College
University of Denver</p>
<p>I would ask you for a prediction, but I think I know who you’d pick.</p>

<p>btw, any decisions yet from your DD?</p>
<p>Ouch!</p>

<p>north dakota… come on… they produced guys like zach parise and david hale… 2 words… COME ON…</p>
<p>As a U of M(N) grad I feel a bit disloyal, but I like Denver over UND in the final.</p>
<p>Sorry Cujoe169: Zach Parise was “produced” at Shattuck in good old Faribault, MN, where JP heads up the hockey program. ;)</p>
<p>After the games, we usually rush to the car to turn on the radio to hear the wrap up. After the Cornell game, the announcers were screaming and laughing so hard…they kept saying "guess who? BARRY TALLACKSON!!! and then cracking up. High state of excitement here–in fact, our D’s final college trip had to be planned around the games this weekend.</p>
<p>As for who I like, any time you get past The Fighting Sioux you have been very lucky indeed. One game at a time. Would love to see the Gophers and CC in the final.</p>
<p>Incidentally, a local sportscaster reported that there had been a proposal to form a Big Ten hockey league. As if!</p>
<p>ez</p>
<p>P.S. Dig, I’m going to start a new thread about the Final Choice in our house. Gonna need help from some of you…</p>
<p>Still smarting from UM loss to CC… How do you blow a 3 goal lead with Montoya in goal (yeah, he had a down year)? Well, I don’t know HOW, but they DID. :mad: Loyalty this weekend is transferred to UM(N). Reidm - Love the parentheses - the UM is the most important part. :p</p>
<p>…and the victor is… reidm</p>
<p>Way to call it, Reid M!</p>
<p>I watched the game last night - thought I was watching Classic ESPN and the NHL for a minute. Just checked the Denver roster - they have freshmen on their team who were born in 1983. Virtually all of the players are two or three or four years older than their classmates. Just by comparison, I went to the BC hockey website - not nearly the “professionalism” you find on the Western teams.</p>
