The Sicatoka

They seemed to bring the "dance party mix" Friday against DU. From what I saw everyone had a "dance partner" more than once in that game.

I suspect we'll see Senden and Hain go. They're the last 2 of 9. Ford and Driscoll time out. At this point, Sanderson should probably stay and get stronger, and I never expected to see that in October. His game is NHL ready, but I'm not sure his body is given the games he's missed. Somebody call Tyson Jost and hand Jake Sanderson the phone. That said, I expect he'll go. That's needing 3F, 1D, 1G.

You win a conference tournament you get that conference's automatic bid to the NCAAs ... key word being automatic.

We've scratched our KRACH ahead of DU ... https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/krach/

CHN's "probability of making NCAA" matrix: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/probabilityMatrix.php See that red "10%" by Duluth? There's a 10% chance Duluth could end the year with an under 0.500 winning percentage. They'd have PWR numbers and a high rating in KRACH, but be tournament ineligible because of overall record being under 0.500!

Up four points. In the final four games (UND@UNO; DU H/H CC) need a UND win or DU loss for an outright. If UND gains two points, or DU loses two points, it could be a tie.

Don't get greedy. Just imagine if Weatherby hadn't bailed in August and Connor Ford was our #2 center behind him.

Indeed. "Hell yeah." "Somehow, that is correct."

Pictures or it never happened.

I bet they do bring Benoit in in a low-pressure situation. He'd be the 7/8 D and have time to learn and grow.

We harp on officials a lot. Today I'll give credit where is due. Zebra13 was in perfect position for the Driscoll behind the back save. He saw it the whole way, shot, off glass, onto back, covered, immediately waved no-goal. I'm sure all video did for him is confirm that the glove wasn't behind the crossbar, otherwise, full marks on that play.

Your 36 hole challenge in a day ... Larimore Northwood Mayville Hillsboro

Woke up a bit ago. Didn't know who won. Hit "InForum.com". No NDHSAA boys hockey on front page. I knew.

Last night was huge. It took a combo of UND points gained or DU points lost from 12 to 6 for a #PenneRosa. And second is guaranteed —> either CC or Miami in round one.

And we're exactly what for throwing broad generalizations and stereotypes about other fan bases?

Get a win*, lock up no worse than second, guarantee that you play 7 or 8 at home in three weeks, and not the worst of the 4-5-6 schmozzle which still ends up being a pretty darn good team** (not saying 7-8 are slouches). *UND needs any combination of four points, either won by UND or lost by WMU, to lock second. **UMD, SCSU, UNO

It's presently -9F in Grand Forks, but shorts weather in the PAC*. *Pollard Athletic Center

Update 1

And thus it begins ...

They're landlocked. It's that or buy up an adjoining neighborhood. And I'm sure the board of the golf course knows it. I read somewhere the buyout offer at $61M is about $150k per course shareholder. The offer was about $640k per acre.

Mud?

What is with SCSU’s offense? They miss an open net three times in like 10 seconds. And then score on the next rush. 1-1

Anyone else feel like Jim Rich wants to backhand the guy in the booth with him?

Why can’t the SCSU PP look that bad against UND?
