Going by pairwise, you gotta say UND. Probably the same answer using other metrics. Now, if you ask who would stand the best chance of getting to the FF if they make the tourney, you might say UND has a better chance.

CC should not be seen as a softie. A win and a tie AT Duluth, two ties at Miami, and two 3-1 loses in home and away with Denver. They are not last year's team.

Here's another very good way of looking at the strengths of conferences. The following is the current KRACH SOS ranking: 1. Duluth 2. North Dakota 3. Denver 4. Miami 5. SCSU 6. CC 7. Western Michigan 8. Providence 9. BU 10. Vermont The reason for that total dominance is pretty obvious. Can't imagine why the B1G is a no-show.

I'm sure Dogs fans feel that way, but things happen in the NCAAs, as we all know. That is why we fans have to learn to enjoy great college hockey when we get it in our own rink, whether we get a banner out of it or not. In fact, we should also be ready to enjoy great college hockey when it comes to our rink. Time is too short not to enjoy this game, and when we get too bent out of shape when we don't get what we want, we lose something that is very good.

That's a dam good team you have over there this year.

They have played to their potential--that's what is sobering. Not surprising, but sobering. In fact, it is possible we have seen them play beyond it at times.

That thought has passed through my mind more than once recently. And I hope people are not assuming CC will be soft opposition. They are much improved. It's a dog fight this year--exactly what we had reason to expect. Just because this team is losing games they did not lose last year does not mean the players are lazy or do not care. Have faith, Berry has a plan. The Gornall is FULLY OPERATIONAL. Opposition beware.

I thought tonight actually went pretty well. Could have been 5-0.

They were very good last year and have 8 seniors (and 6 juniors)

My Man.

We certainly haven't carried play, but they have not done a bad job of limiting their prime scoring chances. The problem, as Ox pointed out, is that we don't have what it takes to come storming back very often against a team with this much talent and experience. Not over by a long shot, but it will be tough to turn this around. Cam will have to make them really work for their goals. .

Because his need for attention is at the root of that passion. He may be old in years, but he is a child in that respect. Otherwise, you are right, he would not waste his time here seeking responses that most people would not want or need. We all knew that kid in middle school.

We all could see how good Stecher had become as a college player, now it looks like he's making NHL fans feel the same way about him. He made a huge difference last year.

I think we all knew that if we won it this year we would be taking it out the back door. Too much D lost. Still can, though. Just get in.

Thompson and Johnson were vilified on this site pretty much all year last year, except Luke kind of came on in the last weeks.

Be nice to get some mo for tomorrow night, if nothing else

The refs are the least of our problems.

We always seem to attribute games like this to character and hustle. I just don't think were are as good as UMD. Doesn't mean we aren't capable of beating them, but most games we won't .

Cam has been stellar much of the time this year, but with bad defense it won't always go well. We just aren't that good this year. Not out of the mix. Just not good. as we usually are. Lost too much last year.

Not Tim O. He's great. This is a young guy who has been Tim's color guy last year and this year. CONSTANTLY interrupts to the point where Tim's great play-by-play is almost ruined.

Sorry to repeat, but who is Tim's color guy?

Who's Tim's color guy?

there you go. they seem to give up equalizers quick this year.

Now if they can stay out of the box and not give up odd man rushes for 3 minutes.

Listening to Tim, and I swear if his color guy doesn't stop interrupting him, I'll just follow it here.
