2024-25 University of North Dakota Hockey Season

I'd be OK with regulation being all that matters with regard to Pairwise. I'm not a fan of 3x3. A tie is a legitimate result and probably what should be reflected when looking at resumes for NCAAs, which is all the Pairwise exists for. -
To be fair, with college sports now nothing seems impossible and every day seems like April Fool's Day.

Why would The Citadel be interested? This makes zero sense.

Get more padding for d men or let goalies stop the puck. Zmolek missing omaha series was huge and Pyke out for the regional was costly. Don't know if it's putting more focus on postseason but just staying healthy for postseason. -
The new kickoff rule may create an opportunity for him.

Hope we can grab someone helpful from free agency or make a nice international pickup.

And sat for a year as a transfer as well. -
I don't kbow what kind of revisionist history this is but after 2006 I viewed the NCAAs with dread, knowing a collapse was coming. Making the Frozen Foir, but then getting crushed or now showing up isn't some badge of honor. Prior to the Hak years UND took titles at a 50/50 clip in the Frozen Four. Then it was a win in first semi in 2005 followed by 7 straight losses The "laser focus" in 2011 had them so tight you could sense the loss coming even after UMDs win that afternoon should have created more momentum. At least in 2016 UND got it done, taking out a hated rival in semis and crushing the top seed in the final. I'm as disappointed in the recent losses as anyone, but one and done is fickle, and we've been on the wrong side of late. We still have a more recent title than every blue blood outside of Denver.

Just need to get a sports psychologist for neutral aite games. Thata the common thread. With NCHC moving to campus we should be OK, juat need early round NCAA games moving to campus and we'd be golden.
-
That play was hugely deflating, but the 4th goal after failing ti keep a puck in the zone was the back breaker.

Unbelievable

Due for a miss

More like to grab Northern Colorado if at thomas were willing for Summit League football. Denver might whine a little but they are a logical travel partner for other sports and it might reignite their football program.

She wasn't going to stay in ND much longer. Has the potential to be biggest sports media star to come out of the state since Lauren Shehadi.
-
That makes, the RSN model is pretty much dead and high school sports are tough as a money maker. I can see nchc.tv folding in, and would love to see the Dakota 4 muscle MVFC into it as well. I could see them making a play for CCHA and Northern Sun as well
-
That's a lot of chalk for a tourney that rarely goes that way. I'm not sold on hockey east being that strong. BC seems potent but the tourney will be a new experience for them. Neither Wisconsin nor the defending Champs will be a pushover.
-
Should have bought a power ball. I'll go with Wisconsin and 3 NCHC schools to the X.
-
Hopefully it's also the UND that at one point wS least penalized team in country. Specifically teams are huge in NCAAs and unless we reinvent PP I'm concerned we have been figured out.
-
Would love to see some new blood in the NCAA broadcast team for ESPN but guess that's asking too much.
-
Would much prefer the old TUC category to last 16. Last 16 too dependent on schedule strength. Record against winning teams should matter similar to Q1 and Q2 wins in basketball. Also not sure such a strict adherence to PWR is needed. It was originally a set if criteria that teams were compared by, now an actual ranking in and of itself. Even now RPI has a heavy thumb on scale and with the changes on OT in past decade bow sure how to even really treat OT games any more.
-
My guess Providence BC Tech and Wisconsin QU Maryland heights MSU-Western and UND-Mich Sioux Falls Bu- RIT and Omaha Gophs Springfield DU UMass and Maine Cornell
-
Which almost certainly means they will stub their toe in the tourney. Maintaining that peak is very difficult
-
CC needs omaha to win tomorrow, which I'm sure they'd enjoy anyway.
-
I'm hoping we end up in Providence, which has been pretty kind to us in the NCAAs.

X is a house or horrors for us. Sad the Frozen Four is there, can't wait for frozen faceoff demise.
