you're really hoping for that aren't you because you are scared to meet up with them down the road aren't you?

Minnesota yes, the other two, up for debate(especially Michigan).

I will defend Mariucci to this extent, CC is not a good team no matter what happened this past weekend. good teams don't end their season with just what 7 wins or whatever it was. UND was lucky to get out of that series and to extend their season for at least one more weekend. If UND comes out and plays against Miami the way they did against CC they will get beat. Miami also did something UND couldn't do, they beat SCSU more than once this season and swept them on their home ice and didn't get swept at home by them(which also isn't helping the current situation).

probably sitting in 11th and having only to win one game this weekend instead of maybe having to win two.

if we even win just one of those games we are in a much different position than we are right now.

as bad as Miami is in their own zone, this game will come down to whether UND can capitalize and put the puck in the back of the net. Miami can turn it over all they want but ifUND keeps shooting high, wide and an into the middle of the goalies chest it won't matter if they put 60 shots on goal.

I'd even add the sat night debacle against omaha at the ralph.

with wisconsin and scsu lokking to be 2 and 3 seeds(most likely) I don't hink they put extra effort into getting UND there. IF UND makes the tourney look fo them to travel east somewhere.

exactly, the hockey east games started at 4:30 local time yesterday. the problem with the 7 Sunday start isn't just for those out of town but it gets late for those that bring young kids. and god forbid it went to overtime(s).

how is there no truth to his post and what makes it crap?

on the other hand I've been to regionals in grand rapids, new hampshire and mass and there has been minimal fan support there. unlike regionals in the cities, wisc or colorado where there are tons of fans with a short drive. here's a valid question, how many on here living in the midwest would next sunday book a flight to cincy or the east coast to watch UND play in a regional?

I will say zero as minny will be the number one overall seed and will play the atlantic hockey champion whoever that is in the first round. there would be a better chance of UND playing BC in the first round.

probably 11th but in a much safer positon entering this weekend.

I guess with where things sit this season it will be a little different going into this weekend as we won't be complaining about where we might ot might not be sent or anyone else for that matter as we just hope to make thing.

I was referencing the one at the X in 2012.

does miami have a slight advantage being und played three plus games this weekend?

win on fri and depending how things shake out across the country sat might just be for the icing on the cake.

the results of the AHA tournament will have no impact on UND's situation. the winner will get an auto bid and that is it.

at the west regional a couple of years ago western had a small base there, not enough to fill a corner section though. also und plays the late game fri

I'm not sure we would catch ND in the pairwise even if they lose today. as far as HE goes it would be very beneficial to UND if Vermont and Northeastern lost today and New Hampshire loses in the semi-finals next fri.

this team would not be in the postion it is today if it didn't have a tendency to piss away games. IF they would have won just one of these piss away games they would have some breathing room no matter the result of tonights game: sat Vermont fri or sat home against SCSU sat BU fri SLU fri night BSU sat UNO at home sat WMU one game can be the difference between moving on or staying home after next weekend. last year Schloss had said that had not UND beaten CC in the springs that sat night in OT they wouldn't have made the dance last season. and how many times can a team outshoot an opponent by double digits or put up over 40 shots and not score more than 2 goals. this teamhas shown it can hold teams to 3 or less goals it just has a problem scoring three goals.

definate yes tonight or on fri. I think there would be a chance to still get in if they were to lose in the champ game. small chance but albeit a chance.

tomorrow the you are the committee and pairwisw predictor will be up on uscho and chn and we can figure all the scenarios

a win is an absolute must tomorrow, but like others have said it looks like UND will have to win the NCHC tourney. beating CC tomorrow will not give them any breathing room as their RPI will barely move and beating any of the other teams left won't move it much either to allow any room for a loss.

BC topped ND 4-2 today.
