Another one that has turned to the dark side..... The xG metric had UND beating/winning vs Arizona St and DU (can't remember which night). The eyeball test, if anyone was at or watched, in both of those incidences with the ASU games or DU series revealed the right/better team won. Will we see a turnaround....hopefully. A sweep this weekend would help. If this team comes out of WMU 6-10-3 heading into the break I think the reality of what this team's record actually is needs to be recognized and not what it could have been based on xG and Pixie dust.

Here's a "fact".......this team is dead last in the country save %. When your rate of fishing the puck out of your own net is greater than you putting it in the other net it is not complicated as far as how the outcome will turn out.

If the meaningless metrics and analytics make you feel more comfortable about this team's actual W/L record and Pairwise position make sure to leave cookies and milk out on the night of the 24th.

I for one am comfortable where this team is currently at because based on the xG metrics UND is #7 in the Pairwise. So glad I bought West Regional tickets.

The xG argument......that's gonna save this season?

26 21 18 IMO need to be in the lineup every night from here on out. Might as well put 29 in that group.

So with all of that said I'll go.... Friday WMU 2-1 Saturday 2-2 WMU SO win Berry will pull out the black NODAK jerseys Saturday to salvage a Pairwise tie.

Wild get a SO win vs DAL after blowing a 4 goal lead in the 3rd

If you have been the leading scorer in every game so far you're carrying the team. .....and essentially because of that when she isn't on or having a big game like today this team will struggle to get a W. That's why IMO she is one of the most valuable players in the conference.

Looks like the same thing as last year.....no Robin to her Batman. Too bad she'll have to carry this team again.

Pat Riley would......

Three-tally....have you trademarked that yet?

Look at this roster vs 17-18 and 18-19 when UND missed the NCAAs back to back....it is crazy the difference top to bottom IMO. Again this team's overall talent is so much better to be this bad right now.

To your last statement.....who assembled this roster?

If Bama gets in at #4 I'm done watching FBS FB.

So UND, after last night, is currently dead last...LAST...in the country in save %. I'm not good at math or xG analytics and I know most nights UND plays 17 forwards cause 4 or 5 Dman won't play any defense but I'm smart enough to know that last isn’t good and there's only one direction to trend. Granted I'm at almost all home games or watching on TV when I can't get to GF so I don't listen to TH a majority of the games but I have never heard him talk about UND's goaltending during a broadcast or post game (that I do listen to most of the time) like this past series. If he thinks it's an issue.....

On tidbit that was overlooked after the game that was caught on the SCSU TV broadcast one of the young female rink side reporters caught up to BB and asked him point blank about his daughter having the NODAK TM then giving it away when once all of it came to light publicly. His response.......

Did she say if Joe Black's is extending its hours until 4 am for the boys return?

According to that metric UND is currently 13-4 so that should make us all sleep better tonight

7-9-2 at best heading into the break? Where would that put UND Pairwise? 20ish??

At the sake of repeating myself every other series this team is way too talented to be this atrocious and be an underdog to Fargo South-Shanley right now.

After TMgate Thursday if I find out on Monday that BB is housing Fufeng consultants that are actually Chinese spies.......

6-8-2
