Northeastern up early, 1-0. The 4 seed is riding a 20-1-2 streak to close the regular season. This is the region of death if there is one this year.

Football, basketball, and maybe soccer are fine for one game eliminations. Hockey and baseball should never be. Theres too many variables in baseball and hockey that even themselves out over multi game series.

A lot of people are picking the winner of N. Dakota-Northeastern to advance. If our defense and goaltending show up, this region is going to be a dog fight. Notre Dame has been trending down, but they're still dangerous, too.

If UND can score so much against what I assume is a competent defensive team, I'm scared what they would do to the M defense. Not that I'm looking ahead of the other UND tonight.
