Since my blog is not just a Sioux blog but a WCHA blog as well, I am going to jot down a few thoughts on some upcoming series for this weekend. These are predictions for the rest of the year based on this weekend:
- If there is a sweep in the UMD/WI series this weekend, whoever sweeps will not only make the WCHA Final Five, but will go on to the NCAA tourney
- If UND sweeps Cloudy, they are well on their way to the NCAA tourney. If not, they will probably be watching it this year
- Minnesota has the chance to prove it belongs at the top. If they sweep, they will take 1st or 2nd in the WCHA this year
- if UAA takes a point or more from Denver, they will finish the year in 8th place or greater
There are a ton of ifs in those statements, but I think that they can all ring true.

Brandon I hope you didn't jinx the team :)
The Sioux need at least a split this weekend to keep their NCAA tourney hopes moving in the right direction. A loss won't kill them at this point. you make it sound like they can't lose another this season to make the tournament. which isn't the case.
It was just a "I have a feeling" comment, not a numbers and graphs one. At least that's the way I understood them. Interesting theories, though. :)
I probably did jinx them. :) And as for the talk of the Sioux not making the tourney if they split or get swept, I do think the Sioux are in trouble. I mean, they have dug themselves a deep deep hole. And the pairwise will not do them any favors. No WCHA teams get any special favors when it comes to the NCAA tourney.
