And can pretty much say the same thing I’m guessing for UND had they not blown a 2 goal lead and lost 3-2 to AZ State and had they beaten Bemidji State in the game they tied them.
Hang on Friday night against Quinnipiac(had 5-4 lead in third and ended up tying), hang on Friday night at Minnesota(Gophers score with extra attacker and win in OT), and the Arizona State game and Bemidji St. tie and we are #8....something about ifs and buts

Omaha is not a bad team. They took 3 out of 4 from Western Michigan and Duluth, split with Denver in Denver, and split with St. Cloud and Alaska at home. They lost 2 early 1 goal games to Niagara at home early and went 1-2-1 against CC, or they might be in the tournament.
Yep. flip those Niagara games and they are sitting comfortably at #13 right now.

Alaska is currently 15th in the PW and with them being an independent team, it's highly unlikely they make the tournament, especially with a few upsets going on.
A good way to not worry about the PW is to just win your games and leave no doubt.The need merimack to lose and no upsets in conference tournaments

Wish they got Tennessee instead, that's a more winnable game.
If this was Duke of 3 weeks ago, definitely winnable.
Not so much now
If they had drawn Miami or San Diego State I would have picked them and maybe against St. Mary's as well.

The potential field for the NCAA Tournament is quite a bit smaller after the weekend.
11 teams are in.--
Minnesota
Quinnipiac
Denver
Michigan
BU
Harvard
SCSU
Penn State
Ohio State
Michigan Tech
Western Michigan
1 Team will have conference auto bid...Atlantic Hockey
Holy Cross or Canisius
2 teams are all but in. Would take an extraordinary set of circumstances to not get in.
Cornell
Minnesota State
2 Teams hanging on...have to hope their are no conference upsets. For Alaska it also means they need Merrimack to lose.
Merrimack
Alaska
Teams still in contention. Teams with * would be stealing a spot from the teams at bottom of list above if they win their way in.
B10
Michigan vs. Minnesota
Hockey East
Providence* vs. BU
Mass-Lowell* vs. Merrimack
ECAC
Colgate* vs. Quinnipiac
Cornell vs. Harvard
NCHC
Colorado College * vs. Denver
UND* vs. SCSU
CCHA
Northern Michigan* vs. Minnesota State
Potential for only the top 11 being in the Tournament. -

Leading into a WCHA weekend and Lou Nanne calls out Gopher fan whiners and Gorg in a radio interview with Barriero.
He said
In Hockey, physicality is a skill and it is one that the Sioux excel at and one the Gophers possess very little of.

I think maybe 21, 18 and 4 dress tonight and have fresh legs and something to prove.
Not opposed but the guys they would be replacing should be pretty fresh as well as Ness, Portz, Kunz, Albrecht, Bast, and Farmer have not had an abundance of minutes the last couple nights.

The best thing abut the past few weeks for UND has been that James has emerged as one of if not our most dynamic and consistent forward putting together effective positive shifts almost every time out.

Ness has ended up out with Gaber and Blake for a few partial shifts and for whatever reason that has been a good combo.

I'd agree, Doppler is more consistent than Erickson but seems like Erickson is turning it on now that the games matter more. The one thing that does concerns me about Doppler is how much he relies on making tough shots. But yeah neither should be in the rotation next year, they both could develop into solid players though after a couple seasons.
Doppler had rough game yesterday but had a nice game today. I thought he was their most consistent player most of the season. Erickson had a nice game yesterday but was not much of a factor today.

Not according to Gopher fans.
I always like to point out to Gopher fans that Debus was a 25 year old goalie in 97-98 which was his 3rd season at Minnesota....did not come back as a 26 year old senior.

Theoretically, how many conference champions would be outside of the top 16? Just one?
RIT or whoever wins AHA most likely.

I think we win tonight. Regardless of winning or losing tonight, winning Saturday will be very tough. I'll count that as a loss. I don't see us sweeping. Sunday will be a good game, but I think our guys have the will to get it done in a tight one (1 goal regulation win - 2 if the last is ENG). That would put us (in all likelihood) in a semi-final against Denver in St. Paul. We'd have the crowd on our side for that one, though the NCHC semi-final has been a bugaboo for UND for years. With backs up against the wall, and Denver maybe disinterested in expelling a great deal of energy on that game, we maybe find a way to win. Where would that put us in the pairwise? Enough that we wouldn't need to win the NCHC championship? Oh hell, let's just win the NCHC championship
We have a 1.5% chance of finishing in the top 13 and a 2.5% chance of finishing in the top 14 in the pairwise.
I can get us to #15 after Saturday night with a sweep and RIT, UConn, Northeastern, Merrimack, and cornell all getting swept and Sparty losing to Minnesota.

You had said they sold $1 tickets and only got a couple hundred fans. That was not true. I said I went to a couple $1 games and there were 4-5h fans there. I don't have the time to look, but if they only drew over 4k one time and you looked than so be it. Seems to me like the $1 games were pretty full.
$1 games will almost always draw better than a free game. For $1 people think they are getting a deal. For Free they think they are getting a worthless product. (insert joke here)
OK. You win.

You said I flat out lied?
You said they had several games where they drew 4-5k a game....there was 1 game where they drew over 4k in the history of the program.
On average by season over the course of 13 seasons UND drew 864 fans per game(ranging from 309 per game in 06-07 to the high water mark of 1485 in 11-12). the cost of those tickets varied from free on up to I am sure $15-20/game.

this is not true. I went to multiple $1 games and there were about 4-5K there. Those games felt much different, as there was more of an atmosphere.
And get it $1 or free tickets is not going to generate enough money to support the program, but flat out lies need to be called out.
So there were not games with a few hundred in attendance?
I know they had the Gopher games where they drew about 5800 in 2014 and 3300 in 2015 which were far and away the largest crowds ever for a UND women's hockey game so I don't think they had multiple games with 4-5k in attendance. Minnesota averaged 1815 fans per game in 2013-14, 2394 fans per game in 2014-15, and 2037 fans per game in 2015-16 which led the country.

I'll never understand the hate for Women's hockey. It didn't just start after the program was cut. I enjoyed watching the Women play. Like every sport it was not as fast as the Men's game, but you need to take it for what it is. No one goes to a high school game and complains that the game is slower with less skilled players. However i do agree that checking needs to be a part of the women's game as it is part of hockey.
UND should have a women's hockey team.
Unfortunately not enough people wanted to watch it.
They had $1 tickets and drew a few hundred people. When there was a men's or women's basketball game on a Satuday afternoon and a women's hockey game Saturday night you could use your ticket stub to get in free and they drew a few hundred people.
I believe UND has given the dollar amount needed to those who would like to see Women's Hockey return.

Maybe he should have looked into how it costs $2 million a season.
I wish UND and other schools could afford a women's program and maybe some of the bigger schools could, but articles like this are disingenuous and more about virtue signaling than anything else. Hey Ryan, aren't you a reporter? He could actually do some investigative reporting and find these answers himself. I am assuming that Ryan is pretending that he does not already know the answers which gives him the premise to write the article in the first place.
In looking at USA Hockey's numbers from 2018-19 it would appear that about 15% of the registered participants are female and 40% of the Division 1 programs are Women's programs and 44% of the Division 3 programs are Women's programs. One could make the arguement that Women's college hockey is over represented based on the participant level at this point. Assuming 25 players per team would mean that there are about 1550 men playing D1 college hockey and about 1050 women playing D1 college hockey. Using the USA Hockey registrations this would mean that men have a .003 chance to play D1 hockey and women have a .012 chance to play D1 hockey.
All that said, I believe that the growth and opportunities of all girls sports across the board are vitally important! Every study I have seen shows the benefits of being involved in sports or organizations is a huge benefit for kids as they move on into their adult and professional lives.

Again this team was top 5 pre-season nationally and finished 6th in the conference. I'd say the plug and play approach this season with a few guys regardless of production and performance has resulted in losing and/or poor play.
Similar, but not as bad as North Carolina hoops. Preseason #1 in the country...7th place in the ACC.
Friday....the Clowns....St. Paul. YES!

We beat Western Michigan 5-0 for 3rd in 2014 and then made the bar turn off NCAA basketball so we could watch Wisconsin come from down 4-2 with 7 minutes left to beat Ohio State. An Ohio State win would have eliminated us. The we went to Cincinnati and thanked Bucky for getting us in the tournament by sending them packing in the first round.....we won't talk about what happened 2 weeks later.
