The NCAA hockey tournament starts Friday afternoon, so hurry and download the NCAA hockey Frozen Four brackets here (NCAA Men’s Hockey 2010 Bracket). Fill them out and confuse your friends when you complain about Alaska-Fairbanks busting your bracket.
I’ll take all comers in the second annual Daneeka’s Ghost Hockey Madness Sweepstakes. Winner gets … I don’t know … my undying admiration.
Last year’s winner: Freealonzo (Who correctly picked BU as champion and was the only entrant to successfully identify a Frozen Four team)
My 2010 picks:
No this does not mean that I will actively cheer for the Badgers.
Final Four: Brrrmidgi, UND, DU, and ‘Sconsin
Champ: FIGHTING SIOUX (of course)
Rhu_ru loves the WCHA! I hope your final 4 is right. That would be fun.
First Round Winners – Miami, Brrmidgi, UND, BC, Denver, Cornell, SCSU Huskies, Wisc
Final Four – Miami, UND, Cornell, SCSU Huskies
Champion – The Huskies get their revenge and beat the Fightin’ Sue 6-5 in Double OT
That’s three entries and three different champions.
Of course all three are from the WCHA, can you tell we’re from MN?
You know it’s March when Zoomx comes out of the woodwork once again only to be disappointed by his beloved Huskies. Heck who knows, they might even finally win a game this year.
I’ll get my picks out soon, have to defend my title.
Here you go:
First Round: Miami, Michigan, North Dakota, BC, Denver, Cornell, SCSU, Wisconsin
Final Four: Miami, BC, Denver, Wisconsin
Champion: Denver over BC
Hah, now all 4 WCHA teams have some love. I was this close to picking BC, however.
Nobody likes my Alaska-Fairbanks pick, eh?
We’ll see who’s laughing after that one on Saturday (hint: It probably won’t be me.)
I just hope this bracket doesnt go as bad as your basket ball one…
You think it will go poorly just because I haven’t seen any college hockey all year? That’s why the ‘Horrible Prognostication’ tag gets such a workout around here.
… and where’s your bracket?
I dont have a full bracket. I am calling a win for Miami!
Anybody but Duke…
Oh, wait. This is hockey? Never mind.
yeah, but STILL.
Crap! DU out already. Defending my title is pretty much dead.
As long as Bucky doesn’t win it all, I’m sitting pretty good.
you had a real good day yesterday.
I’ve already outperformed last year’s debacle by getting 1 team of the Frozen Four correct.
Man if it wasn’t for something called Rochester Institute of Technology, I’d be perfect.
On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, my bracket couldn’t be any less perfect, but I still stand a pretty reasonable chance of winning this thing.
POOR MAN’S SCENARIO GENERATOR
BC wins it all – Freealonzo wins it all
Wisconsin wins it all – Big Mak wins it all
Miami wins it all – Mrs. Mak wins at least a share
RIT wins it all – Freealonzo wins at least a share
If Miami beats Wisconsin in the championship, Mrs. Mak and I tie and we settle it via arm-wrestling.
If RIT beats Miami in the championship, Freealonzo and I tie, and it is decided by a vote from the third place finisher (love you, honey!).
Wait, I wanna see the contest by-laws!
