Ridiculous rule to erase two minutes of play where a goal occurred. The refs missed the call, play went on and we scored. That has happened since the beginning of hockey.

Out of curiosity - if the intervening play had not resulted in a goal, would those 2+ minutes still been added back on?

Legendary is in the eye of the beholder. Much like Nebraska football. The old-timers remember the "glory years". But you have a generation of young fans that haven't witnessed a national championship, and can only hear about them from dads and uncles pining for the good old days.

I don't think the Nebraska comparison is quite on point. Nebraska had their glory years of national championships, followed by the Pelini years of good but not great (clearly second tier), and then alternating between mediocrity and legitimately bad. The Gophers have gone longer than I would like since a national title, but have had frozen four and national title game appearances since then, and have spent significant time as the number 1 ranked team (including deep into seasons when it is based on legitimate body of work, not the preseason hype that has resulted in Nebraska's best rankings being before they started playing games).

In other words, we've been a legitimate top tier team that has frustratingly not made it to the top of the mountain since 2003. Nebraska football has been full on pretenders during that same time.

Except every fan over the age of 2 has seen us play in a title game, and every fan over 3 has seen multiple frozen fours. Awful, awful comparison.

Yes I believe it would’ve be gone back to where the Major should’ve been assessed, which feels weird when you have such a long period of time
 



Maine has a pretty decent chance of getting screwed into playing a host team in PSU in the first round.

Also potential second round opponent Providence has a top scorer with only 23 points. That's nuts.

Providence to me seems to be the 2 you’d want to draw.
Lost to UND
2-0 vs ASU
1-1 vs umass
0-3 vs BC
0-1-1 vs UML
1-0-1 vs UConn
0-1-1 vs maine
1-1 vs BU

There’s just not a ton there that looks worrisome. 26th in scoring, 13th in GA, 50th in pp%, 32nd in pk%.

Other 2s are wmu who have been dominant at times, BU and their fire power and new goalie, and uconn who are 11-2-3 since Christmas.
 




What are the odds we get the Toledo regional? Selfishly asking because it's close to me. Probably pretty low right? We'll get Fargo and Michigan State will get Toledo?
