Congrats to Yale. I admit i didn't give any ECAC team any credit. They proved me wrong. It was fun watching them this week. Not so much fun watching them beat UND two weeks ago...oh well

Yale was very impressive. They went through some of the best teams in the country and all of that while barely making the tourney. They got hot at the right time!

A hot goalie is all it takes. Look at the Kings winning the Cup.

Got back from Pitt late last night so I'm finally checking FM. SCSU has to play better defense to win it. Just kind of disappointed of the long drive and they were never really in the game. Nice to finally make the Frozen Four.

Congrats to Yale. I was telling my buddies that I thought they might be the team to beat as I was liking the way they were playing!!!

If SCSU makes it next year I think Pitt is my limit for a drive. I don't think I'd want to drive all the way across Pennsylvania to get to Philly.

Hats off to you for making the drive. You are a great fan! Bummer that the game started the way it did.

Since you were there, how full was the arena would you say? On TV it looked like maybe 60-70% full in the first 10 rows. Granted many of those empty seats were probably sold, but with fans of the opposite Thursday game. They rarely if ever showed the rest of the arena.

I'm trying to understand the logic of selecting Pittsburgh one year and Philadelphia the next? The X was packed and rockin' in 2011. I don't understand why it wouldn't be in the permanent rotation every 4-5 years given the venue, type of fans here, and great college teams around here. Joe Louis in Detroit and Boston are 2 other areas that should be part of the rotation. Then go to 1-2 new venues every cycle.

I thought St Cloud skated well for the most part. But that first goal was the goalies fault and our Hobey guy needs to make that play back on D for their third goal. Huskies just couldn't get an Mo going since they could get another goal to make it a little closer. I wouldn't have minded a more exciting 3-2 loss or something but we never really got back into it.

Rink was probably closer to 80-85% full on Thursday. My one friend has been getting tickets for 10 years in hopes he's get some better seats. We were top deck in a corner. I told him to dump the seats and I would rather try to get them from the University since they were all lower level. Otherwise I could have gotten lower level seats through stub hub right after the Husky game. My point is I don't think it sounds like the NCAA has much of a problem selling the seats but attendance probably isn't quite where it should be in a case like this.

There were definitely a few lower level seats that were empty but the upper deck was pretty full all the way around as well. Probably a few less people on Sat. since 2 of the teams were out of it.

As far as tickets go I think the same very large group of people renew every year, they probably go most years but can't make it every year but still pay so they don't lose their spots. You also have fans of the teams that just don't go to all the games and once their teams loses they are done. I hear tickets are pretty easy to come by on Thursday from the losing teams fans. Really the only time frozen four tickets will be hard to come by is when you have a big school playing in their back yard.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
