While these comments may be a little too optimistic for some, I appreciate the refreshing optimism. I'll be at The Ralph this Friday ready to cheer on the boys!! Not over til it's over, 2014 showed us that.

Thanks ubish, good series. You guys have a good team and I'll be pulling for you in any game you're not playing against UND in. If your guys take advantage of those opportunities like they did this weekend, you could definitely make noise in the tournament. Cheers!

Correct, or if they tie won't UND have the tiebreaker?

I want to be hopeful about Wilkie but that turnover he made last night was inexcusable. I was yelling at him the whole time he was skating behind the net with the puck with guys all over him. Needed to get rid of so much sooner. And while I'm pissing and moaning, is anyone getting sick of 16's backhand passes? He's a special player but IMO he's gotten really careless with these and it's costing us offensive zone possession or leading to a costly turnover. end rant

I was confused for a second bc I thought you meant Mark MacMillan until I got to Hyslop

You don't like money, do you? Those are atrocious odds for you. I'll take it lol

Gotta agree. I don't know the guy and don't agree with every opinion he shares but regardless of the reasoning, it's pretty silly to have a thread that's attacking the guy for something as silly as a twitter handle changing. As Stoney said, if it's actually a concern of yours you could ask him instead of doing the old passive aggressive move and talking about him behind his back.

^ Exactly

NCHC's record vs Big 10 since formation of leagues: 10-9-1 15-2-0 15-1-1 9-4-4 For a total W/L of 49-16-6 and an absolutely dominant win % of 73.2. All of this despite UND's less than stellar record against Big10 opponents, yet we want to join their league? Sounds like a good way to start playing down to the competition and being ill-prepared come NCAA tourney time.

Sweep would put us in fantastic position so let's just get it done!

DERP Maybe if the Big was any good they'd have more than one frozen four appearance in 3 years and actually have a national championship DERP!!! (Sorry, just making a point) It's hilarious "making a point" for you involves singling out one team(that just so happens to be the board you're on) in a 4 game stretch and extrapolated it to 4 years of league play since the BIG and NCHC were formed... try harder

I've checked with my sources and they have confirmed that this is, in fact, a good sign.

IMO I think that sort of acts as a sort of metaphor for Big10 vs NCHC "Come on over to the BIG UND, we have more money! Btw the product on the ice might suffer due to weaker OOC records, priorities at BIG institutions etc.... BUT WE HAVE LOTS OF MONEY!"

And yet, people want us to join this conference where hockey comes(at best) 3rd for every school in the conference. I'll take the NCHC and its proven track record for producing successful teams every day of the week.

Wait... do we know JJ is for sure good to go this series??

I see... I misunderstood your post to mean that Groupon people were the only ones held up and was curious. The wristband thing was kind of annoying last year but I was able to get in on time for the game. I'd show up 20 minutes early or so to avoid.

They made you wait in a line for an hour and a half because you had Groupon tickets?

Correct, the NCAA is not allowing regionals to be played at campus sites and has opted for "neutral sites" to play regionals in. As stated, Compton Ice Arena was the exception because they were the only school that submitted a bid for the Midwest regional that year.

This a serious question?

Incorrect, UND is 6th in 46.8% of scenarios if they sweep, 7th in 32.7%, and 5th in 15.1% http://collegehockeyranked.com/forecast/pwrchart/north-dakota/oneweek/

Yeah, guess my point was that it wasn't an apples-to-apples comparison. Last year we won because of Boeser who is still on the team(allegedly) and Gersich who is a stud this year. If I remember right, Cam played a heck of a series too. We'll need all of them with some Jost mixed in!

If a few hundred people signing an online petition don't get this game moved, nothing will.

Last year's Ferris State team says hi

However, I don't believe we had either Schmaltz or Caggiula for that series... and they didn't have Jost
