. I agree. Our points are making it very easy to block the shooting lanes, because, in my opinion, they're not receiving the puck while skating often enough. Without motion, it's fairly simple to get between the puck and the net. The teams that do the best job of getting pucks to the net from the blue line are moving along the line with the puck, whether on the power play or at even strength. Dave

Quoted for truth. Dave

It's choppy, but I wouldn't call it blurry. I bought the monthly pass last night ($10.95) so of course I'm going to watch again tonight. If I had purchased the first game for $6.95, and you're asking me whether I would do it again for another $6.95, it's real close. I'm not sure it's worth seven bucks, but it's close. Hope this helps. Dave

Ha ha, well I was close. I've got UND 5-2 tomorrow night, with a big first period, and that feels about right. Dave

FYI if you plan to watch the webcast of both games, you can order a monthly pass for $10.95 (rather than individually for $6.95 each) and the pass is good for one month from date of purchase. Friendly reminder/warning: it is a recurring monthly charge that you will need to remember to cancel (unless you enjoy watching spinning, floating tiger heads all season long...) Dave

It's an interesting measure of how close the teams are, that's about it. And fwiw, I wish the committee would use it instead of the Pairwise, for too many reasons to list here. Dave

Nice. As I mentioned the last time I wrote an article about my predictions, it's as much about the nature of the games played (tight and low scoring, blowout, predicting which team will come back late to earn the tie, etc.) as it is about following UND's Friday/Saturday split pattern. Picking UND to win a close one and lose by three is quite a bit different then saying "UND will win Friday and lose Saturday". Like I said, not everyone will salute. Dave

North Dakota finds itself in 11th place in the Pairwise rankings after the split; Colorado College is 19th. Other WCHA squads in the top 20: Denver (3rd), Minnesota (10th), St. Cloud State (15th), Nebraska-Omaha (17th). Or if you are a believer in KRACH, UND is 13th (194.5) and CC is 20th (137.1). Dave
