My recommendation for you is 'Don't Feed the Troll'.

Only useful '2014 Pairwise Rankings' post on here, thanks Jim. Everything else is people melting down and calling for everyone from the coach to the skate sharpener to be fired.

Every section will be a Sioux section since it's a home game...

Although Rocco has produced to the astronomical potential I think he has, he's one guy that absolutely never quits. I've never seen Rocco take a shift off and that alone makes me respect his game. He might get frustrated but it seems to only drive him more to work his butt off, love watching him play.

I know, I'm just being a smartass

We're cheering for Ferris State in a game they're not even playing in? We're screwed!

I tend to agree... http://collegehockeysource.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/nchc-frozen-faceoff-win-or-go-home/

Looks like conditions defined as 'Difficult' from GF to Fargo then 'Fair' from Fargo to Minneapolis. Weather in Minneapolis is pretty warm, in comparison to the entire winter that is. This is my favorite road condition site, drive safe: http://hb.511mn.org/main.jsf

Call me biased but I think UND fans will make sure they're not. I mean, I'm going to the early game tomorrow. That's gotta count for something, right?! Also, it's not so much bashing(at least from me) but depressing when you realize what was traded for the wonderful BIG 10 TV Contract...whoops, mean conference

Agreed, just going to have to win the NCHC!

Doesn't matter who wins as long as neither wins the Big 10 and steals a spot in the Pairwise.

(Inserts claim that can never be unproven until parallel universes are created)

Where's Mariucci? I want to hear his take on why Michigan is good again. Lost to Penn State 3 out of 5 times on the year.

Penn State penalty called, that could do it with how gassed they are.

How that didn't go in is beyond me. That hit the inside of the post and seemed to defy physics.

Come on Penn State, win one for the boys! And by the boys, I mean us!

It may in certain scenarios but I've been able to get them in with winning either game in most of mine. Key games I've found to root for are QU beating Colgate, Union beating Cornell, Bowling Green beating MSU-Mankato, Penn State beating Michigan, Providence beating New Hampshire, & Ferris State beating Alaska-Anchorage

I've even done a scenario where they end up as a 3 seed with only 1 win this weekend. That scenario would also lock UND in to a tournament berth with just a win vs. Miami, regardless if they win the Championship game. If that happens, I would be so happy.

Seriously, Caggiula's goal is miles better too! Zombo's was more dumb luck on a bad play by our goalie.

No, you'll be completely fine especially in the Target Center area. I've lived downtown for the last 2-3 years and never had any sort of issue. This is all of course given the assumption that you stay south of Broadway, not sure why you'd head that way though.

Nervous about what?

Have to agree here, I don't care what the fans are saying at this point. Just make noise, even if it's stupid!

Don't mean to take the thunder away from an attention-starved Gopher fan but... Anyone know what time the Sioux practice at Target Center tomorrow? I'm thinking about walking over there on my lunch to check it out as I believe it is open to the public.

If you believe that the pairwise is always the perfect system for predicting teams abilities, then yes... but I know you are not that naive. Also, CC was about to have their season ended and beat us in a tightly contested overtime win while we outshot, outchanced, and outplayed them heavily and Thorimbert stood on his head to stop everything. Michigan lost 4-0...I repeat 4-0. That's not the result of a goalie standing on his head, Michigan was never in the game against an obviously weaker opponent and to show it wasn't a fluke proceeded to lose to them at Yost Arena. Like I said, they're highly inconsistent at best.

Yeah, beginning of the year I believed Michigan was decent but when you lose 4-0 to Penn State then get beat by them in your own building, your credibility goes out the window. At best they're very inconsistent.
