Kind of nice to be discussing arena aesthetics and not team construction on a bye week

Guchi named NCHC Player of the Month for the second time this season. https://www.nchchockey.com/news_article/show/1083938 #KawaHobey

I love this. He trusts our path for him.

Yup. Two is the most, from what I'm seeing. I definitely think his pops believes in what UND is doing and same with the player, but this kid is looking like he's going top 10 -- two years will be just fine

Ok, Boomers

So, we split the rest of the way? I mean, if we go 4-3-1 down the stretch, that's not phenomenal. I'm definitely expecting better. I think we'll split with 5 points vs. DU, split with 4 points at Clown, sweep WMU (senior weekend), sweep UNO. I'll put us at 61. EDIT: What I said was messed up. I think we'll split vs. DU, win and tie with Clown getting the extra point at Clown, sweep WMU (senior weekend), sweep UNO. I'll put us at 59. So, I'll say 6-1-1.

Is this your prediction?

This is fantastic.

Totally. Our fanbase does overreact really, really well

Just to clarify, I didn't post that we're douchebags. The Beaver guy did. Not sure why I was quoted on this haha. With that said, all my best friends are douchebags, so maybe it was actually a compliment?!

Yup. All but a lock is a really awesome place to be on Feb 2. Watching the selection show the past two years was gut wrenching. Can't wait for it this season.

Sorry dude. Maybe it gets old saying "wow, what a fantastic goal" or "woo, we won again" soooo many times over and over and over again? Lol what an odd way to introduce yourself. I'm sure your fanbase is happy to have you as such a sterling example.

What I've seen from him throughout his career here is that he's athletic, but had a tendency to get out of position and give up fat rebounds. He did neither last night. Absolutely solid. Never once did he over play his positioning and I can only recall one ugly rebound into the slot. Awesome stuff. Definitely earned the start tonight, IMO.

Coming into the weekend, I definitely was thinking Scheel gets the start tonight. However, Thome earned another start, no doubt. Last night was weird. I felt like we could have won that game 5-0 had we potted a couple while dominating the first. I think we find a way to solve Vernon tonight and get the sweep. 5-1 UND Guchi, Pinto, Weatherby, JBD, Hain

Feeling good about this. I believe last Saturday was a statement win and I feel we'll see a confident bunch this weekend. I think Thome will start and if he dazzles, he'll get the nod on Saturday, too. Big game coming for Guchi, 2g, 2a. 5-2 UND Guchi x2, Pinto, Mash, JBD

Sorry, that was me assuming when I said "unless DU is a 1-seed" that it was implied they would be a 2 or a 3. I can see how that would be easily missed because I didn't point out the four. If both are 1-seeds, they would be in different regions, yes.

Ovi Office... I like it!

Over Pinto?

I'll take Pinto in that spot

I get what you're saying. I think it's possible if DU is No. 5 or 6 UND goes east, but I still think they'd prefer UND in the west.

Mine is wanting to avoid DU. Not afraid of them, but would just prefer to not have to play them in Colorado.

Unless DU is a 1-seed, UND will be in Loveland if they are the No. 1 overall seed.

Honestly, I'd prefer to go to Allentown over Loveland.

I did exactly the same thing. Having Minny on there is pure nonsense.
