IIHF Wonk #1: What if the game is tied after regulation? IIHF Wonk #2: Well, how about we play a completely new game? Different strategies and different number of players to decide the original game? IIHF Wonk #1: So we play futbol to decide hockey? IIHF Wonk #2: No, instead of 5x5 we play 3x3! IIHF Wonk #1: BRILLIANT!

Back when you could go FAR to DTW it was two legs.

I can look at IHTINB's table (objective analytics), but looking at bracketology (subjective) this far out is just noise to me. Sorry. YMMV.

Apparently the officials missed a lot of too many men calls on the Canadian opponent.

The logic next outcome is beyond '97 at times.

Heard the Gov say as much in person last week. https://www.inforum.com/news/north-dakota/how-is-north-dakota-preparing-a-budget-that-will-have-millions-of-dollars-less-than-last-biennium

It ain't your daddy's PAC. Only remnants are WasSU and OrSU. The Montanas want that west coast exposure (athletes and students).

Given Miami was just here and we go to Western Michigan in a week, Chaves and Armacost should be talking permanent MAC membership. (Sac paid $18M for a five-year slot when you read and dig deep.)

Causing a ... ruck-us ... are they?

Whoever has more regulation wins.

Yes. Hence OMN is 6. Yes. That's why their OMN is 7. Really would like CC to scrape a point or two off WMU this weekend. But, UND needs to take of its business with SCSU first.

The outright title magic numbers going into the weekend were 11 and 12. UND got 5; the others did not lose points, hence 6 and 7.

31-1. Congrats to Czechia on scoring on the US; Canada hang your head.

The US is up a cumulative 31-1 score going to the gold medal game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey_at_the_2026_Winter_Olympics_–_Women's_tournament

Magic number to a Penrose: DU 6 WMU 7 Any combo of points earned by UND or lost by (DU/WMU) totaling that number gets UND an outright Penrose.

Misogynistic would've been predicting "last". The women's game is in a terrible position. There's not enough competition worldwide. This (Olympic competitioin) should build it but it hasn't notably yet (see: US or Canada will win; I heard on radio US in prelims outscored opponents 26-1). I find the present womens game slow so I quit watching.

I've given up watching and was stating why.

When mentioning the Montanas and moving up I think folks forget each would have to add sports as they are under the FBS required 16.

We quit deficit spending is what happened.

USA women would finish third at best in MN Section 8A boys.

UND has something to play for.
