  1. Stay out of the box. 6 penalties called on UND vs only 2 against WMU last night.
  2. How long Brad have that article ready to go before all those team were below the "playoff cutoff line"? 4 short days after writing the article, this line is no longer true: Key to success for UND this season would have been to have 7 drafted players on the roster, like the #3 team in the country, UMD, instead of the 8 that UND currently has.
  3. We've been told that despite not winning a game at the Frozen Faceoff. That team was so loaded, it was a foregone conclusion they would suddenly go on a four game win streak to become National Champions.
  4. Unfortunately you need to be about 13/14 to make the tournament.
  5. Berry: "First five minutes was key. Penalty kill was good. Goalie best pker. Turn the page. Same effort tomorrow. Western too many looks in the second. Get Bowen tomorrow, he'll have fresh legs. Scoreboard watching hoping du loses to get home ice." Hennessy: "finally got some puck luck." - win or lose the guy seems to love his puck luck talk.
  6. 25 sounds like the max. One of the articles said probably about once a month.
  7. Nice win. Early score was key.
  8. As seen by a bunch of former UND employees on twitter. Imagine now how big of news this is to a lot of current UND employees today.
  9. Interesting that Jayson Hajdu, just shortly after leaving UND, already has not so positive things to say about UND (President) on twitter. Didn't see that one coming.
  10. "Auction". Of the 5 banners, It's "Me, my brother, and my dad's friend" have three of them.
  11. Well it was certainly the talk around the water cooler for UND employees today.
  12. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/4532200-angelique-foster-glue-holds-und-leadership-together Feels like a bonus for a buddy of Kennedys.
  13. When you put it that way, it makes it sound like every other week, you get to work while on vacation from North Carolina.
  14. Interesting stuff. https://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/columns/4571126-port-und-plans-spend-25000-year-letting-chief-staff-work-home…-north
  15. Where was gobc with the news of what he said? New better gobc in town now without gfhockey?
  16. Local news radio made it sound like coach got tired of dealing with all the parents bullcrap.
  17. Did Jacobs have a word count he needed to hit? Guy threw two different articles together. "Rewrite State Constitution. Remove/Privatize Colleges. Budget not generous to higher ed. Deans cutting programs still." to "UND cut its marquee womens sport."
  18. Twitta says they broke the news before you by one minute. Odd coincidence.
  19. If the gobc were any good they'd know the real reason he was placed on leave. Instead they pick up the newspaper (online) and read it at the long haul.
  20. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4570050-red-river-coach-bill-chase-placed-administrative-leave-hours-edc-tournament I'd guess he wasn't placed on administration leave for his hockey coaching record.
  21. One of those turn his back at the last second type plays. Penalty? Yeah. Suprised they didn't call anything? No. Countless times a game there is probably 10 to 20 uncalled penalties. That one just appeared more violent because of where it happened on the ice.
  22. Wasn't really snarking at Brad. More so, just my prediction of what I see happening. If UND doesn't make the tournament, an article will be written about how if UND won more games (insert teams here) they would be in the tournament. Which I think is pretty obvious stuff to most anyone. Last year was: Hence the term "Pairwise Killer" when losing to crap teams.
  23. You can already see the article by Schlossman, "UND wins just one game vs Canisius, They're in the tournament."
  24. It dawned on me why they have UND so high, and why a few years ago I had trouble analyzing CHNs style of probabilities chart. The NCHC "AQ" column teams have to add up to 100%. But SCSU, DU, and UMD "AQ" column only adds up to 2%. So the lower ranked teams in the NCHC automatically get the rest of the percentages. So take their numbers with a grain of salt. IMO, CHN needs to redo how they present these numbers. Cause unless I missed something, CC (only 5 spots below UND in PWR) has a higher than 0% to make the NCAA right now.
  25. They say UND has a 68% to make the playoffs. Which I just don't get. .1% to get an at large bid, but 67% to run through the NCHC to win the Frozen Faceoff and make the NCAA's. 67% Seems extremely high and I just don't see it. Looking at other teams they have UND (20 in PWR) the 11th most likely team to make the tournament percentage wise right now. Right behind Western Michigan at number 10 PWR with a 92% chance at making the NCAA. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/probabilityMatrix.php I need to find a betting site with those odds and put some money down. My 85% guess to miss the playoffs was pretty accurate based on just PWR positioning, and the average of the 19th team (23% chance to make tournament) and 21 PWR team (5% chance to make the tournament).
