Here is a scenario I ran in the pairwise predictor that I would like to see if they kept bracket integrity with the matchups. Atlantic Hockey Semifinal #2: Connecticut defeats Mercyhurst Semifinal #1: Niagara defeats Canisius Championship game: Niagara defeats Connecticut CCHA Semifinal #2: Notre Dame defeats Ohio State Semifinal #1: Miami defeats Michigan Championship game: Miami defeats Notre Dame ECAC Semifinal #2: Yale defeats Union Semifinal #1: Quinnipiac defeats Brown Championship game: Quinnipiac defeats Yale Consolation game: Union defeats Brown Hockey East Semifinal #2: Boston College defeats Boston University Semifinal #1: Massachusetts-Lowell defeats Providence Championship game: Massachusetts-Lowell defeats Boston College WCHA Semifinal #2: Colorado College defeats Minnesota Semifinal #1: Wisconsin defeats St. Cloud State Championship game: Colorado College defeats Wisconsin Also works with Minnesota beating CC and Wisconsin. Leaves you with 1.Quinnipiac 2.Minnesota 3.Mass-Lowell 4.Miami 5.Boston College 6.Niagra 7.Yale 8.North Dakota 9.New Hampshire 10. Mankato 11.Denver 12.St.Cloud 13.Western Michigan 14.Notre Dame 15.Union 21.Auto-Bid Colorado College Manchester 1.Quinnipiac vs 16.Colorado College 8.North Dakota vs. 9.New Hampshire Grand Rapids 2.Minnesota vs. 13.Western Michigan 7.Yale vs. 10.Mankato Providence 3.Mass-Lowell vs. 14.Notre Dame 6.Niagra vs. 11.Denver Toledo 4.Miami vs. 15.Union 5.Boston College vs.12.St.Cloud

Duluth had a goalie that got hot at the right time not a goalie who had been solid all season long.

Here is what I would like to see going forward for lines: Grimaldi-Knight-Kristo Mark Mac-Rowney-Parks Caggiula-Pattyn-St.Clair Mitch Mac-Gaarder-Rodwell D pairings stay the same and Gothberg in net.

Running some scenarios in the pairwise predictor after the game tonight and most of the time they resulted with the Sioux finishing in the #10 spot.

I disagree with this there will always be pressure to win at UND because the expectations are championships and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I think a lot of people would take Dell back right about now to stabalize the goaltending position.

2 big ones I remember were he was slow to release and Howe slid over to stop him on 2 pad stack and I think it was a low Kristo shot Howe kicked rebound into slot and went right past OD and if he catches it he has the same chance as Caggiula did on his 2nd goal.

I thought we created a lot of chances tonight and Howe made some nice saves but we have to find a way to cash in on more of them. The goaltending and powerplay are really the 2 things that let us down tonight and I think it does create a lot of question over who gets the start in the 1st round of NCAAs? I would probably lean towards Zane right now as I think he is better controlling the rebounds and positionally and the biggest reason is I believe he really has a greater ability to steal a game and make a big save on a breakaway the Saunders really hasn't showed recently. I think trust Hak but it just seems like we would be better off with Rodwell in the lineup and OD out and someone else up top with Knight and Kristo. OD has had a number of chances created by Knight and Kristo and a few tonight with basically open nets and couldn't cash in and really seems out of place at times so I wouldn't mind to see a change. I would have loved another matchup with Minnesota but who knows maybe there is one waiting in the NCAAs somewhere as well and while I really wanted to take the win the last real final 5 and 4th straight broadmoor I am okay with the loss in the sense that we can get rested up and ready for a run at Championship #8. We have won the final 5 the last 3 years and it hasn't brought us a whole lot of success in the NCAAs so maybe this is the route that will bring us more NCAA success.

I really don't think thats right but I'll be honest for me my priority was: 1. UND mens hockey game 1, 2, and 3 2. UND womens hockey 3. Everything else

I have it on ESPN 102.3 Denver on the tune-in app.

Solid win tonight snd good all around effort. Clark wasn't really tested but made the saves he needs to make. It was good to see Tate get some time in net and everyone was able to recognize him for his hard work and what he means to this team. We got a couple pretty good bounces that went our way for goals and it has been a few weekends since that had happened as well.

CC just went up 4-3

I haven't listened to them for the whole season, can't stand them it felt like my ears were bleeding everytime I've heard one of them talk and had to sync up the TV and radio instead.

I thought he was decent, he was out of position a lot and gave a lot of bad rebounds up but Tech didn't capitalize on them, another major difference I have also noticed between Saunders and Gothberg is Saunders almost never plays the puck and sets it up for the D and how Gothberg does that and is always talking trying to help let the D know where to go with the puck, I feel much more comfortable with Zane in net and hope we see him tonight.

It really seems like some fans only show up after losses just so they can bitch about things. I'm not calling out the people who are here talking about things constructively and what went wrong/right and what we need to do better, but the calls about how we have no leadership, every player sucks, or how great Blais is and how Hak will never win a big one and things like that are really getting sickening. If you want off the bandwagon jump off the rest of the fanbase and the team will be fine without you!

CC forces game 3 with a 2-1 win over Denver

Looks like the Sioux drop to a 5 way tie for 5th in the pairwise with the loss for the time being.

If Grimaldi had a decent ability at being able to finish around the net and on his chances how many goals would he have this season so far? 40 or maybe more?

Parks

Pretty frustrating game and really not a real great game, a lot of guys need to bring more energy and intensity. I thought we made the goalie look a lot better than he actually was and at some point guys need to finish. Grimaldi, Gaarder, and Mitch had about 3 or more chances each and didn't do anything with them. Rocco really has to cut down the number of turnovers and giveaways to with the blind passes and just throwing it in front, if there is nothing there he needs to throw it back in the corner and continue cycling the puck. Copley was very shakey early and we let him get more comfortable and didn't take advantage of some of the rebounds he gave. I don't know about anyone else but I feel a lot more comfortable with Zane in the net and wouldn't be at all suprised to see him in tomorrow. I really noticed tonight how Saunders really has trouble with controlling rebounds and seems to be out of position a lot. Regardless of who is in the lineup tomorrow night the guys have to find a way to get it done and come with a lot better play and more intensity.

There are some very good prospects even beyond the big 3 but from what I have been hearing it sounds like many of them are more BCS type guys and there isn't a whole lot of guys projecting at the mid-major level and some that have been projected at that level are starting to rise as well and may end up at BCS schools too.

Mankato game we gave up more high quality shots and made me a little more nervous, last night even when they spent time in our zone I thought we did a pretty good job keeping them outside and not giving up a whole lot of quality shots, but I do get what you are trying to say.

I agree with you and will trust whatever Hak goes with and be fine with it.

Rowney

The number of shots really isn't a big deal it's the quality of shots that matter and in my opinion we did a pretty decent job of limiting the number of Tech's quality shots.
