Thanks, that is a very helpful explanation. I had never considered a tie since all of the PWR predictor articles are whether we will get 0,2, or 4 points. Wasn't sure what 3 would do when I was watching the end of the game on Saturday night.
So how does a tie affect the Pairwise for the Sioux compared to a loss? Does it help? I am just wondering because BE saved that point for us in the WCHA standings but does it also help in the Pairwise?
I've heard rumor of the Winnipeg Jets a couple of weeks ago, anyone else hear anything similar because that one came out of left field for me and not sure if there was any factual backing to this?
Never underestimate the power of The Ralph! I can't wait for my 4 day weekend to get up for this game. We've proven we can score goals now, even shorthanded some key players. I say Sioux take it to the Gophers 5-2, 6-1 Sioux Sweep!
I really don't see UND as being lucky at all. They would've just beat Denver maybe 3-1 instead of 6-1. If anything Denver was lucky to make it to overtime against WMU. Then the Sioux just played smart in the 3rd period against the Pios and still stretched the lead. With a healthy roster and continuing to play smart, simple hockey I can't see them losing.
So I am by far not an expert on hockey so could someone please tell me what is wrong with our PP? It was so frustrating to watch tonight that I just about puked. I feel like they don't get the chances they should on the PP. Is it the passing or what is our main issue on the man advantage?
