I saw a thread earlier thi season that UND was going to be participating in the Ice Breaker out in Boston with BU, Mich State, and one of the Umass schools. plus UND will be in the Great Lakes Invitaional. that means we need some home NC games(BSU and Cornell?)

it's all fun and games until march 14th and then the boys will put the restraints on.

any chance if the league reviews the tape that mannino gets a game dq for fighting added on?

I believe the third tie breaker is head to head goals, right now assuming neither us nor cc has any more ties and we end up tied at the end of the year we own the tie breaker as we scored more goals then them head to head 7-6.

I think this thread just needs to be closed.

hennessy and o'keefe

maybe hak is saving him for that one special game, saturday april 12th at the pepsi cenetr

better scenario, we clinch the cup friday versus st. cloud and walski starts sat night versus scsu. everyon's happy then. although I bet Walski gets a start either way versus SCSU if we don't have much ont he line that sat. phil starts both this weekend.

a bc sweep would flip the new hampshire comparison int he pairwise for us.

if the tournament started today the number one seeds would probably be placed as follows: michigan-madison newhapshire-worcester und-albany cc-colorado springs I do believe there is some provsion that the top seed be placed closest to home if possible

I aplogize if this has been discussed already but anyone know why mannino wasn't tossed for fighting after he threw a puch at finley?

we will see them as much as any other series, these are 2 huge games come the pairwise and rpi. all the good we did this past weekend would be for not if we drop one to bsu.

and a loss to them would be devastating for us.

kyle radke might put up a better fight than brad.

I don't think this is the time of year for anyone to be wanting certain players to be dropping the gloves and fighting. we need everyone to be out on the ice not in the press box being cheerleaders. getting in a fight and having to sit out a game isn't going to help us get a 1 seed or advance to denver. simple rule right now should be "skate away, just skate away"

I was listening to part of the DU/Minn game on the radio friday and Denver's announcers were saying that what has gotten DU into trouble the previous weeks was letting people camp out in front of Mannino and getting four five whacks at the puck. Garbage goals could be huge this weekend if we are to be successful. That and in itself could be a problem because I don't think that is something that we do alot is camp out in front of their goal we tend to look more for the highlight reel goal. Could we also figure out someway to get a PP goal or 2 each night. Anything less than 3 points this weekend and we will finish 3rd and in all likelyhood end up as a 2 seed. That being said I think DU has gotten over their problems and this weekend has split written all over it.

I think when it's all said and the the top seeds for the tournament will be: 1.Michigan in Madison 2. New Hampshire in Worcester 3. CC in Colorado Springs 4.UND or Miami in Albany 5.UND or Miami as the top 2 seed

I've always thought the fsn-rm guys have been pretty complimentry(sp) towards the sioux.

I just hopre our Saturday night collapse against UNH won't come back and haunt us by preventing us from getting a 1 seed and at this point in time it is.

the only way for us to basically catch miami or michigan is for us to pass them in rpi, if we can somehow do that both comparisons will come into play. none of this will be settled until about 9:30 p.m. on march 22, right after the final 5 championship game.

this is going to sound very vague but it really comes down to the sioux need to keep winning and both cc and unh need to lose a few games. more specifically unh needs to falter against some TUC teams, we are very close to flipping the unh one right now. 2 losses to BC in the coming weeks would help as well. cc needs to lose a few down the stretch here and we need to keep winning. meeting cc at the final 5 and beating them would help as well. it's very complicated but if we keep winning those things will take care of themselves.

I wouldn't mind seeing that as well just to shove it up INCH's a$$, but for UND's sake I hope Miami does sweep them and the Sioux can take care of Miami in the Frozen 4.

that in the six years the ralph has been open the Sioux have swept every team in the WCHA at home except one...the Denver Pioneers. let's hope that stat will change next weekend.

if miami sweeps then we flip the michigan comparison as we gain the tuc advantage, if michigan sweeps we could eventually flip the miami comparison down the raod but that is iffy.
