UND is now in a position where we will need to stay at the top of the conference not just for home ice in the playoffs but for pairwise reasons as well. It is looking like there might not be much difference between the top 6 teams in the conference and all 6 are certainly in position to make the NCAA tournament. But if the top 6 are pretty jumbled up record wise UND is now in a position where if we are the 5th or 6th place team in the NCHC we are in the worst position of the 6 with SCSU, WMU, and UNO having the best non conference records which will be favorable for them when all the pairwise data is in. Sweep at home, split on the road is pretty critical for UND right now. 10-4 down the stretch would be ideal. 8-6 might be more realistic.

Probably because we had 3-4 guys transfer out who would be starting and/or playing 20+ minutes a game.

Know a guy who played there and he loved every second of the whole hockey and school experience.

Ended up with 52 points 11 rebounds 9 assists 2 blocks 2 steals Currently averaging 34.8 ppg 8.8 rebounds 6.7 assists 3 steals 3.5 blocks

#2 ranked Bismarck High beat #1 Century tonight. 106-103 Eaglestaff with 52. Guessing he had double figure rebounds and possibly assists as well.

Eaglestaff is lighting it up tonight. 42 so far

I would say BGSU has a better chance of joing the NCHC than WMU and Miami do of leaving.

NCHC and The Summit League become the NCAC.

Probability of advancing to the NCHC Tournament at the Xcel. 1st place-95% 2nd place-90% 3rd place-51% 4th place-51% 5th place-49% 6th place-49% 7th place-10% 8th place-5% Quick snapshot of current NCAA tournament layout Mankato(1)-UMD(8)-UMass(9)-UNO(14) Denver(2)-Q.U.(7)-Lowell(10)-Bentley(16) SCSU(3)-Michigan(6)-NE(12)-M Tech(13) UND(4)-WMU(5)-Minnesota(11)-Cornell(15)

I think I had a seizure trying to read this.

I never put too much into these games. They are a good game to work things out after being off for 20 days. UND always dials back the physicality in these games as well. That said we had quite a few forwards who were not noticeable today. Instead of calling out those who didn't show up I will credit those who did. Gaber, Ness, Albrecht, Hain, Constantini, Schmaltz.....i don't think I left anyone out.

He is back home in Edmonton...he stayed since he hasn't been home much or at all since Covid.

Which is why while the pairwise is fun to look at and speculate on in January it really doesn't matter until all the data is compiled. UND actually wins the comparison against Denver but Denver wins more total comparisons currently. Right now you have seven teams that will bounce around for the next month or so like bingo balls with the order possibly switching completely following every weekend.

Assuming this works for the paper tickets as well.

https://twitter.com/Coach_Idalski/status/1472092883255803906 I am pretty sure UND did give them a number needed to fund the program.

Assuming the goalie who tested positive had a goalie for a roommate. With quarantine and time it takes to test and get results it takes awhile for players to find out if they are "sick".

I believe it is actually a forward and a goalie.

I am old enough to remember that if a player had a cold or the flu and didn't hook up to an I.V. to try and be able to play he was letting the team down....now if a player is told he is sick they don't let him play.

Wasn't Kim Holmes helping consult on this?

To be fair. They only have 8 defensemen, 13 forwards, and 3 goalies that aren't at World Juniors. Maybe they could go with 17 minute periods or a running clock to get through the Tech game. WMU already dumped them at Yost this season and lost in OT in Kalamazoo.

Yep. Add ASU and either Bowling Green or Mankato.

If the player wants to go after weighing the pros and cons. I am not so sure the United States should even be participating in China at all.
