They probably would have made the tourney easily without all those OT games and losses to low PWR teams. OT - Merrimack, Miami, Stonehill, Dartmouth (2), Lindenwood, Alaska Losses - Miami, Augustana, Alaska, Anchorage Ouch.

Negative. This team has enough talent to win more than just the Penrose. Unfortunately their level of play has gone down since the holiday break.

Happy to be of service! Unfortunately we only see you around here when the team loses, so I'm only able to humor you for those games.

Current PWR (before DU/CC game is over) have: CC #11 UNO #12 WMU #13 SCSU #16 Dang, that is gonna make for some very intriguing first round playoff series. At least a couple teams could see their season end on the wrong side of the PWR bubble unless they win and advance.

UMass lost to Maine tonight and drops to #15. I'm hoping that UMass and UNO both end up on the wrong side of the PWR cut line.

At 12 now but right behind CC who is playing DU right now. Next weekend will make or break UNO's season. If they lose the best of 3, I bet their season is over.

I've gotta assume that DU has a good chance at overtaking us in the PWR if they win tonight?

I still don't think that this team is anywhere near a bubble team. They've proven against other top teams that they can play -- and beat -- them. Unfortunately, they've also proven that teams that relentlessly forecheck and pressure them like CC and UNO will have great success against UND. So who knows what we'll get once the NCAA tourney begins. The team that beat UMN, BU, WMU, DU, etc? Or the team that got swept by CC and UNO?

It's gonna be one (or two) tough games regardless. IMO still a really good chance that they end up in SF. I am still betting that UNO doesn't make the tourney.

If we finish this weekend with Britt's flukey goal last night as the only 5x5 goal scored, that's pretty brutal for sure.

You mean shooting continually into the goalie's chest logo isn't gonna cut it?

Haha. I can also 100% guarantee that not a single thing that I've ever read on a message board has ever pissed me off.

Let's just take it one ledge jump at a time, please.

I can 100% guarantee that not a single player or coach is worried about either of those things. But don't let that stop your rant.

Turd of a period for the boys in green (EDIT: black). Didn't play completely horrible, but UNO gets a couple bounces go their way and they end up in the back of the net. UND dman at fault for that 2nd goal...what a horrible play to give UNO possession in the zone. UND needs to buckle down, otherwise we're limping into the playoffs.

Some of those seniors could return for a 5th year, but yeah they'll lose a ton. Could see Wendt signing as a free agent too with how many goals he scored this season. They'll be like UND last season...they'll need to hit the portal hard.

I’m an excellent 1-0 this season in starting game day threads. Let’s hope my awesome streak continues. If not, I’m done for the year. Go Sioux!

He predicted a 3-2 Omaha win in game one. He also predicted a 4-1 UND win in game two. Let’s hope he’s right yet again.

That’s the spirit!

Yes, just not the final order for the 2-4.

As gfh says, because of those nattys man! In all seriousness though, he’d have one less title to his credit if it weren’t for Hunwick stealing that game for Michigan during the Frattin year. I have zero doubt that UND would have crushed UMD in that title game.

I really don’t understand UND’s issue with playing 5x3. Not even just this year, but past years as well. I don’t remember the last time UND scored a 5x3 goal. They couldn’t even hold the zone while down two men.

I’d bet Karl gets it. Dane has been around forever but he’s almost the same age as Berry.

Are you saying that tonight was a “big game”?
