After the non-Sioux results last night, the loss is probably a good thing. Not a given they'd jump UM for 1 overall...and they clearly need time off to get healthy. Hopefully, Oli too.
I think the only way to avoid UMD is if they beat DU. I don't think the committee will put 2 and 5 together.
Will honestly be annoying if they are in the same bracket. 5OT is still a scar.
I think it's very likely that several on the team are sick.
They are also very skilled and have the NCHC best goalie.
Last night wasn't great and a natty is hard to win.
Locked in as a 1 seed is a lot better than whatever last yr was.
