Couldn't agree more. Private schools, who recruit no less, should never play class A. There should be a super championship too, pitting the A champion vs AA champion vs Midget AAA champion

Do the March stats include playoffs? If it does, we should have a pair of bottom dweller victories every March from the first round of the playoffs- well bottom dweller most years. I'd be interested in seeing the variation in opponent RPI during both periods. I'd also like to see how much variation there is if we flex the dates by say two weeks. There is a trend, my question is how durable, and can we make an intelligent deduction on causality. I'm starting to think that I'm talking to the analysts at work...the stock market reference really makes me scared...following trend and momentum voodoo is fine if you're a day trader, it is (along with huge leverage) very responsible for Lehman and the near economic collapse. Miss a variable in your model due to a poor understanding of true causality, and the formula flips and now you're on the backside of a bad leverage position.

I dont have time to do a complete analysis, but it stands to reason that in 2006-2007 certainly, the difference was an uber-talented freshman class maturing.

I personally get amusement from this thread, and I get to vent... All of us want the same thing, and all of us invest some of ourselves into the team. Some of us bitch, some of us cheer lead, some of us analyze, some of us do all of the above depending on the day. Sioux hockey lets me escape from my real life stress and stress about something that isn't really all that important to me- comparatively to my wife, children, career, etc. I think those of us who have experienced the elation of a national championship just keep "chasing the dragon" and a little bit just isn't enough...seriously, addicts chasing the high, that's us... I've been lamenting most of this season. Now, we're on the cusp of a potential conference title and yet another NCAA berth (barring the wheels coming off)...just when I thought I'd kicked the habit, Rick James shows up...

So we can win the Penrose on Saturday night and lock up the number 1 seed, correct? A sweep in regulation would give us 15 wins and 45 points The best cloud could then finish is 14 wins and 45 points with a sweep to end the reg season The best UNO could finish is 14 wins and 45 points with 4 wins to end the reg season Am I doing this right?

Zach is a class act all the way. To say otherwise is just plain ignorant. You can interpret comments or play tem out of context as much a you'd like and it doesn't change who he is. Also, calling into question his integrity based on a business decision as a free agent? Please. I've had the pleasure of interacting with him off the ice and have seen his graciousness and genuine kindness first hand. I guarantee he was not happy with his or the teams performance.

I'd be really surprised if it was this year...we are much better positioned for next year IMO. Agree no way can you argue lack of talent or desire on the players parts- we had captain serious for Christ sake. He's the most big time/big game player on the planet. I do agree that sometimes the hockey Gods don't smile on you and there is nothing Toewser and Oshie or Hak can do about it. Sometimes a great system runs into a better team. Sometimes creativity wins. Sometimes it rains.

I laughed at that one too. In Europe, you can make $75-$150k tax free in the better leagues. More in the KHL obviously. F4F is correct in his ECHL assessment. $20-$25k is very common in the ECHL...Kane made more in the CHL : )

What I am describing is 1 seed MN playing team X 2 seed UW playing 3 seed UND No intraconference issues here
-
To clarify, then bracket I described can happen...AND it would be epic!
-
I'd prefer CC...we embarrassed Miami...I don't like seeing a team we humiliated
-
How about Stevie Y? He says in jest
-
Agree it can't happen, but a Umn, UW, UND bracket would be epic.
-
A split at SCSU and a sweep of WMU at home and UND will win the first Penrose and be a virtual lock for the NCAAs. Go Sioux tiebreaker criteria 1. Conference wins 2. Head to Head 3. Goal differential head to head
-
Does anyone know if Sensers can pick up the game tonight?

Tech in last year's playoffs first round WCHA

Andrew had a very heavy shot, but he seldom found the time and space necessary to let it rip. Note to the kiddies- you are better off with a quicker release and soft mitts than you are with a howitzer. Look at Parise or Patrick Kane- neither have a very heavy shot, but Kane's hands are just plain sick, and Zach just never quits and has a knack around the net. I'd rather score 35 goals with only one or two 70+ mph water bottle shots than 10 with every one being a 80 mph bar down
-
Correction to above, JT started that year a 21 year old, but he was 22 when he won the cup...semantics
-
Ryan Potulny put up massive numbers as a 21 year old in the WCHA....when Jonathan Toews was a 21 year old he won the Conn Smythe.

Oshie and Toews?
-
Again...how did we not win with Osh and Toewser...unbelievable
-
Osh didn't do the same move twice. he went five hole a couple times, but with different moves
-
We need to win 6 of 8 in order to feel good about the NCAAs at the end of the regular season. I think in all practicality, we have to expect (maybe even hope for) splits on the road vs UMD and vs SCSU- these are two of the better teams in the league. That means we absolutely must sweep WMU and Miami at home. The conference playoffs will be a coin flip for the most part.

Its a good class, with a nice mix. Schmaltz is the only blue chipper- he's petty much a lock as a later first rounder.
