This is the newest one, correct?

Completely agree.

Gaber

I was told there would be no math.

JINX! I'll defer to you, dear friend

1-0 US after 1. SUI will start the 2nd on a 2 min PP.

1-0 US. Snuggerud

Great finish. CZE got robbed of a chance before the SWE goal.

Agreed. LOL I'm sure I could find it, but I better not! KG and Jax are two incredible options. Will be interesting down the road.

If the US plays like they did against Finland, they'll be fine. It's only game three and still trying to gel. I'm hopeful. Some around here would say I'm always wearing rose colored glasses, however. I swear I won't bring up their xG He's very well connected, so I could definitely see it happening. If he's not a UND at the time and a HC elsewhere, I can definitely see it happening.

I'm hoping for a big bounce back today from the boys. Man, I wish Rand wasn't coaching this team lol.

Care to wager?

I love every bit of this.

Beat me to it lol. 2020-21, 16-17, 13-14, 09-10. Medaled in 18-19, 17-18, 15-16, 10-11. So, since 2011 -- 4 golds, 1 silver, 3 bronze and 5 no medals. Not sure I'd consider that under-achieving in any shape or form, but a lot of people on here could LOL.

Very unlikely.

^^^^^ How to tell SiouxSports knows UND hockey is on a bye coming on the heels of a solid week .....

It's more than a rumor. He'll have plenty of offers after the season. Does that mean he'll leave? No. He's definitely not a sure fire her to leave.

Lol wut? Undrafted and undersized. Love Riese and he's an incredible talent, but he's gonna have to really battle to get to the NHL anywhere near consistently. He definitely could, and should stay at least one more year.

@Oxbow6#ferda said it best.... we get .900 save percentage this weekend, we should feel good. Western can score, but they give up a lot, too. Get right series in a hostile environment? Let's go. UND wins tonight - 5-2 Gaber x2, Juddy, Kleven, Matteo

See, that's where you are presuming. No one is saying these analytics mean anything other than that it's unfortunate we're in that position. It's saying that if UND wasn't the outlier, we'd be in a much better position. They are the outlier, so we're in a poor position. It's really all it is. Day-in-and-day-out in sports there are stories like "coulda, woulda, shoulda" and no one bats an eye. So, when stuff like this is presented, instead of insulting it, understand the reasoning for it. Call it an excuse if you want, but these are real numbers. All good, man. I get you don't dig xG. It's fine. Let's move on.

So, do we go back to grindaz?!?!

I mean, you tell me lol. You're one so apparently afraid that there could be REAL statistics

That's my frustration, too. I was referring to the idea of people getting mad about xG and analytics being used to explain what's going on. It's an odd boogeyman that people don't like, for some reason.

What is it that people aren't getting about xG? It's expected... doesn't mean it's happened. It hasn't, therefore we've lost. It's not a justification, it's a statement of fact. I've said it a few times on here, arguing with analytics and statistics is just plain stupid. It's not hard to see the piece as "these are the numbers, this sucks, and it is what it is" ... It's almost like some are saying, nope, I'm NOT gonna look for hope. No upside. No positive things. I refuse to think this team could possibly be good in the future this season. Very odd.
