Looks to be a toss up between the East and the West Regionals to determine the easiest path to the Frozen Four. I'll give the easiest path to SCSU (assuming that their play right now will translate into the NCAA tourney like it should).
Speaking of a "What if" scenario, just how bad will Dahl look of Motzko takes them to their first NC in his 2nd year ever as a head coach with a team that is still somewhat Dahl recruited? On one hand he could feel pride that some of the guys he recruited came through, but on the other hand, he had those players and couldn't do crap with them.
Then again, SCSU winning even one game will make Motzko automatically a historically better coach than Dahl ever was.
Who cares it is SCSU.
I agree, Motzko has done excellent job with that program. To go from the bottom of the conference to the top in 1 year is pretty amazing. Especially in the WCHA.
Why this guy insists on putting Minnesota in Denver I don't get. As a #2 behind only NH they would be placed in Grand Rapids period.
Why is UND never tossed into Michigan in all of these scenarios?
I am sure UND would take Michigan.
I don't see why DU and Minnesota can't be in the same regional?
