Goals against UND with less than 1 minute: 2 Goals for UND with less than 1 minute: 6 Didn't expect that. Nice.

I guess the refs thought different?

Hot goalie?

The NCAA wouldn't care if there are 5 or 6 NCHC teams in the tourney. It might be un-avoidable depending on how the seeding works out.

SAB with...another shutout. 2-0 win over MSUM and UND completes the sweep.

I think it's the beginning of UNO's usual late season meltdown.

LOL I missed the game due to company being at our house, so I read the thread from beginning to end to "watch" the game. Reading everyone freaking out and then all rejoicing minutes later was quite the roller coaster ride. This quote summed it up perfectly. Nice sweep Sioux!!

It was "imbarassing". Stecher is so awesome, he gets his own intern! I didn't think Western was very quick and fast skating at all. As I said last night, they were trying too hard to just be "physical" IMO. They needed to spend a bit more energy on their offensive game and less just trying to drive people through the boards and hold them there. Sending a message with your physicality is great and all, but it doesn't mean much when you're still losing.

It would make it tough for the NCAA committee to put a ton of NCHC teams in a single bracket. If they were all spread out as seeds, I could see the NCAA putting 2-3 NCHC teams in single brackets and even having a couple inter-conference 1st round games. If the NCHC ends up with 3 #1 seeds, it forces the NCAA to put them all in different brackets. UMN is trending upward now, could end up as a #2 seed if they keep winning. Michigan sure has tanked now though. I could see any team winning the B10 tourney, which could put 2 B10 teams in the tourney even if their play all year has been mediocre.

SAB with another shutout. 7-0 win over MSUM.

Pretty easy wars against Niagara.

If WMU spent as much energy in offensive pressure as they do on trying to act "physical", they might get a few more scoring chances.

Thank you to Duluth and SCSU tonight.

gfhockey might be out of luck soon with all the layoffs in the oil fields.

Not ringing any bells... Wasn't he a goalie?

Sounds like everyone practiced yesterday so I would anticipate at least 1-2 Cagguila highlight reel goals this weekend.

I put Thompson at #9 just because he's only going to get better and is still so young. I would guess that if we made this list a year from now he'd jump a few spots. I debated with substituting Ausmus in for either MacMillan or Parks...just wasn't sure which one. Hard to say which one will do better in the NHL. Right now I'd say Parks just because of his work along the boards and excellent reach, but who knows.

10. Cagguila 9. Thompson 8. MacMillan 7. Parks 6. Poolman 5. Stecher 4. LaDue 3. J Schmaltz 2. N Schmaltz 1. McIntyre

Maybe he's better than you at spelling errors?

If UND ends up #1, they will play Robert Morris in the 1st round (or whoever the AHA auto bid is). Still a ton of season to be played. UND could end up as #1 overall or slip to a #2 seed. UMN could end up out of the tourney or as a #3 seed...who knows. Will be interesting to see how this tourney shapes up.

It's essentially the NCHC saying..."oops, we screwed that one up"

That big boy looks like he can barely skate.

Sounds like a heck of a good plan to me.
