Christmas is coming, let's try a pin for a few weeks, see if we can send you a few more clicks...

Zajac to Parise gave the Devils a 3-2 lead over the Caps. Current score is 5-2 Devils with about 10:00 remaining. Zajac with a second assist on a later goal.

UND fumble. That's a game.

Aggie's going for it on 4th and 6. Short of the 1st down. Turned over on downs. 26 secs left. 70+ yds to go for the Sioux.

TD UND. Landry to Konrath. Aggies are begging for a holding call.

In honor of wounded vets (I assume associated with Veterans Day this week). Maryland had similar jerseys and camo earlier.

Goska in (claim the Davis guys who have been wrong about this before...)

1st and goal inside the 1.

Ugh. 2nd and 1yd on the Sioux 6.

Interesting, the Davis announcers said Landry was at QB -- it was actually Goska?

Landry to the 1 yd line on 3rd down. 4th and inches. Going for it! TD!!

Brad says no Marvin

Punting had been the bright spot of the 1st quarter, until that last one...

TD UC-Davis

UC Davis a win away from Great West football title

This time it's not even my fault OTHER people brought up sports statistics, but they were using them wrong. I even tried to ignore that and let it go, but then someone started a thread about it.

Exactly. Most of that winning percentage isn't a "home ice" advantage, it's an "our team is better at hockey than the other one" advantage.

Winning at home doesn't necessarily indicate a home-ice advantage, it might just indicate a good team. Think of the odds of winning as the sum of: how likely you would be to win on neutral ice + any home-ice advantage. Just looking at the sum of the two, how much each team has won at home, doesn't help you determine any home ice advantage. If UND wins 75% of its road games and 75% of its home games, it has no apparent home ice advantage; whereas if St. Cloud won 0% of its road games but 50% of its home games, that may indicate a huge home ice advantage. In those scenarios, UND's home winning percentage is .75 and SCSU's is only .50, yet playing at home is clearly a much more critical determinant of SCSU's outcomes than UND's. That said, UND did seem to have a home ice advantage in '08, though it was far less pronounced or even reversed for most of the years between REA opening and 2007. Compare UND's performance at home vs. on the road: http://siouxsports.com/mens-hockey/standings/2008/

Yes, Friday's is, per UND media relations. (update -- UND has since added it to their hockey schedule)
