Any guesses how many wins UND has in its last 11 home games?

........and on cue SCSU scores on the first shift after the UND goal

#22 has been brutal..........all season.

Oops.......my bad. Been blanked in 9 of last 11 periods. Now over 100 minutes since last goal. #schlosswiththeknowledge

They'll be at $4 soon if UND plays like this in another 2 weeks

UND has scored in 1 of the last 10...TEN periods. #futility

What was Yon looking at?

Wolanin has no concept the puck needs to stay INSIDE the blue line in the O zone

Overall goaltending is not in the top 5 of reasons why this team is where it's at.

Softest UND team I have seen in a long long time.

This is an average college hockey team at best

Well..............

Jost and Cam play.......4-2 UND Jost sits and Cam plays.......3-2 SCSU Jost and Cam sit......4-1 SCSU Jost plays and Cam sits.......3-3 with SCSU winning the SO Did I miss anything?

Dave too!

Schloss calling for a SCSU win tonight and weekend split.

Can you tell I think "the avoiding interconference matchups in first round" thing is ridiculous. Not overthinking anything trust me. I get what the NCAA is trying to do or is doing......that doesn't make it right or even that it makes any sense but I do get it.

Ummmmmmmmmmm..........I don't work or have any affiliation with the NCAA. I guess I am if common sense is the issue because as I stated before with your scenario above BU comes to Fargo which is absolutely foolish with Providence being 50 minutes away.

Agree but makes more sense than teams crisscrossing the country via plane when they could be rewarded by playing in their backyard......and they can take a bus getting there. ......but there is DU. Whether they would play in Fargo or Providence the same 6 fans would show up.

Maybe I'm trying to make too much of sense of this but I can't see under any circumstances where if BU is a #1 seed that they won't be in Providence. It is a shorter drive than me heading to the Ralph from Fargo. A #1 seed winds up getting penalized because a #4 seed at a host site can't play a interconference team in the first round. I guess as long as my team is actually playing at their hosting site I'm good with whatever is decided on selection day.

So we have BU in Fargo, UMD in Manchester, Union in Cincy and DU in Providence. Makes perfect sense to me.

BU is a bus ride to Providence. Union is a bus ride to Manchester. Hypothetically those 2 teams could be #1 seeds. If they both are at that time of NCAA selection does one of them get shipped by plane to Fargo to avoid a NCHC first round match up in Fargo if UMD is #1 seed and UMD goes east by plane when they could bus to Fargo?

"Exactly"

You sure about that?

This the NCAA we are talking about......my guess is a good as yours? Here is what I do know: the top 6 are UMD, DU, WMU, BU, Penn St. and Union. 3 east team in the top 6. If 2 of those are #1 seeds IMO it would not make sense to send DU or UMD as #1 seed out east and Penn St or Union to Fargo just to avoid an interconference matchup because UND played it's way to a #4 seed. ........but I'll defer to you two wise guys.
