I go back and forth debating if we should rest guys, get Hobie a night in net. From everything I've seen and dug into for the PWR predictor, we're pretty solidly stuck in third for the time being, but certainly can go up or down if we don't get some points this weekend. Personally, I'd LOVE to sweep UNO and make them have to run the gauntlet in the NCHC tourney to be able to keep us out of Sioux Falls. They impressed me last time we played them, but clearly have been inconsistent all season. Let's sweep these guys. All cylinders firing heading into the playoffs.

1. UND 2. DU 3. Clown 4. CC 5. Western 6. Omaha 7. UMD 8. Miami

I mean, I wouldn't mind to end their season

Exactly. We beat Tech 11-2 in 2011. We tied Miami this season.

No way! Anchorage and Tech.... there are no Anchorage's or Tech's in the NCHC.

Get those numbers up, amateur

FYP

Lol he was being sarcastic. In your defense, he didn't use the emoji

Not afraid of any of those teams. With that said, I'm guessing No. 14 will be an autobid.

It's a lot of fun to play with. So glad I don't have to be running scenarios of if we'll get in

That was my impression. I suppose if there's a guy out there that's younger, they wouldn't say no.

Yep. I like what we've seen with Hobie and he'll get his shot. The portal G would be insurance, for sure.

I was told recently that Persson is likely to sign a pro deal. Hobie would get a shot at the No. 1 spot, but we'd likely hit the portal for competition as Heil isn't ready yet

With some of the players coming in next year and the maturation of the current roster, next year could be A LOT of fun.

Next year's captain if Gaber goes, and I'm all for it.

It's playoff time, essentially. Our team is trying to win a conference title. Match their urgency.

Slow down, my friend. Control what we can control, right? The last bolded part is what matters this weekend.

Easy math here... If UND wins on Friday and St. Cloud loses to DU, the Penrose will be in Grand Forks on Saturday with an opportunity to be skated around the Ralph. I'm assuming it's senior weekend, right? Would be fun to see!

It was so cool. Duncs was a helluva player, but he's a million times better as a human being. Deserves every bit of the praise he got

Fantastic stuff here for UND. Chiclets and Grinelli are a massive brand for hockey and this partnership is a big deal, IMO.

He's not. Was told if this was a playoff game he'd be in.

I understand the trepidation that it could cause if that's how you hear it.

Who's saying it would be?

You're right. I TOALLY FORGOT ... My point is completely shattered

Overall, I do apologize for making this all about you because it's certainly not. I think what @scpa0305 has always discussed, from my understanding, is that UND will lose out on the market share with how college hockey is going. I can't disagree with that. When I hear "backfilling with over-agers" I kind of think that's a lot what we did this year with Britt, Pehrson, Pyke, Johannes, etc. (not shots at them.... they are all very, very good hockey players). UND still has the ability to recruit and that hasn't changed. I think the bolded part is what bothers me the most. This team didn't get dropped from the NCAA tournament by losing two games to CC last week. We're so incredibly over reactive as a fanbase. I understand "fan" is short for fanatic, but my goodness
