    This is a big part of the argument of getting away with the required home and away in the EDC. Go to an independent schedule and let teams schedule the best games for their teams. MN has been doing it for years, I would think we could figure it out too.

    Independent schedule as in? Fully Independent? 

    That ends ND high school hockey, immediately.

    Small schools go to a club world or just fold. Large towns just turn into Tier 1/AAA/Club U18 programs. 

    That's a world that's interesting to think about.

    Northstar, Sioux Falls Power, Jr Force, THA, An Academy in Bismarck maybe Minot JR Tauros? or tied into a Canadian league somehow?

    Better for development but expensive and un-inclusive.

    Who knows kinda of a neat convo for the next 30 rack lobby show I guess.

    But I'm guessing you mean more of either a hybrid 6 point game allowance even against teams with full EDC/WDA membership or more practically a 2 tiered system for ND high school hockey.

    I have not, do not, and will not believe the current structure is in anyone's best interest. 

    Certainly not the kid's.

    Zegras is going to chirp to the wrong guy one day. Pat Maroon and Ryan Reeves are good listeners and better amateur dentists. 

    He runs and turtles more than a gopher. 

    I bet he's a real keyboard warrior too.

    Whatever he said, it will be interesting to see what happens the next time these teams play. Zegras is overrated and nobody should be surprised if we hear that he's locker room cancer.

    Anaheim PR spinning it overload style... which means it's exactly as bad as they ate trying to hide, or worse.

    I've never heard a good word about the guy off the ice.. or on. He's a POS.

    #20 in the pairwise.

    Looking at the teams ahead of us and the comparisons we need to flip.

    The comparisons with Northeastern, Sparty, and UConn will likely all flip in our favor as we have the common opponent comparison and our RPI should surpass them just based on who we play and who they play.

    We can't flip the common opponent comparison with RIT but again we should just naturally pass them in RPi just based on schedule remaining.

    UNO is totally in our hands to flip.

    Notre Dame, we have the common opponent comparison and the RPI will come down to winning and losing as schedules are comparable.

    We are losing the common opponent comparison with Tech and Mankato but Mankato is flippable with a sweep against SCSU. RPI might be a little tougher as they both play mostly top half of the CCHA to finish the regular season....losses by them would help.

    Cornell could also be flipped as we have the common opponent comparison and their schedule to finish is not strong and if you mix in a bad loss we could overtake them there as well.

    All this said we probably need to sweep CC and UNO and split with Denver and SCSU to give ourselves any shot of an at large bid.

     

     

    That's a great breakdown. I'd say accurate... probable?..  hope so...

    I was looking at GPR roster and they've got 9 seniors on what is already a small roster.  They lose their one goalie after this season as well.  Hopefully they've got some numbers in bantams. 

    They look to have about 6/7 from the Bantam A team moving up so hopefully they can keep the program moving on.

    As stated the goalie coming up should help and there's some talented skaters.

    Tough to replace the Carter kid next year tho...

    A competitive tiered system would, IMHO, help them, and others, grow into or back into relevant programs.

    Shot the puck after the whistle then gave a high bow tie to the upset red hawk. 

    Who then pulled a Argentinian Midfielder Special... A Los Angeles Laker Leap... a daytime Emmy attempt. 

    Worst fake dive job since?

    well nevermi d that one's almost as bad.

    I’ve start d watching a bit of the Kraken on ESPN+. They are getting good. And Hak is starting to get mentioned as a Jack Adams candidate. 

    Impossible... Hak is the stupidest person to ever enter a hockey rink...

    accourding to the educated, rational, sober, and intellectually informed patrons of the Philadelphia sports world......

    The cult of momma G is a fricken brilliant description of that group...

    This is probably the most disgusting part of UND hockey fandom I've seen in 40 years.

    The constant butt kissing and awkward references to distant yet connectable connections is gross.

    "Hey mamma I saw a map of the US and Canada today and your boy is in that map, and I saw that map.  do you want a copy of that map.. ill send it to you!   Make sure your boy knows me and your boy are both in places on that map.... WITH YOU!:love:!"

    I know shes brought this on herself by engaging with the awkwardest wierd of our fanbase but,fer gosh sakes have some class people.

    But.. id probably be the same way if my kid would be good enough to be D1 player one day too... so... flame on Mamma, enjoy the ride.

    I've been thinking about this recently, is it time to get new home and away jerseys next year? It's been pretty much the same since 2012, minus the minor tweaks they did in 19 or 20. I feel like there's more they could do with the jerseys. They're still one of the best, but why not make it even better?

    I'd expect jersey tweaks when the new NHL contract is done, as we've went over here before.

    A jersey redesign is the last thing this team needs to think about right now...

    Things not going well... change your clothes, change the look, change the mindset.

    Psychologically... it can help, little things, never know.... not so sure a new sweater makes stops turnovers but... why not.

    How are points calculated? I don't understand how GFC is ahead of RR.

    Maybe they have confused attempted shots with SOG.

    Was just going to say...

    Sometimes the box workers miss or don't understand the ON part of SOG... or are extreamly liberal in it.... or sometimes (moreso in bantams and younger)... the goalie's dad.*

    * Not saying that's what happened there, RR is a wagon and can put up a heck of a lot of shots in a very short time.

    Why don't you take about 30 seconds and tell us everything you know about hockey. From your thousands of idiotic posts, the answer is already apparent. 

    Touched a nerve eh?

    Take off the spoked wheel glasses bud.

    It's bliss for you isn't it?

    I believe it is treated as a typical business expense and taxable to the player.  

    That is interesting...

    I wonder how that works ... so an athlete gets use of a car, or items instead of money?

    Does the athlete then pay tax on that value? I'd suppose...

    Not an issue if takin in big bucks but say a UND Hockey lands a recruit due to a free truck lease from local scar dealer... Do they kick cash to cover tax liabilities too? Or does all that just float back under the table.

     

    In the end we will see that Athletes will realize they didn't push this for their own betterment..

    Lawyers did.

    The Wings are better than the Sharks, and have much better young players than the Sharks (Seider, Raymond) so I have no idea what you are talking about regarding NHL purgatory. I suspect you don't either. 

    Wow.. talk about ignorance.

    Detroit wishes it was Vancouver. ... so they'd be that much closer to relevance again.

    Where is Detroit in the standings?You don't know without looking.

    Who do they have in the system? You don't know without looking.

    Is Detroit rebuilding? You couldn't figure that out by looking.

    Do you know why?

    Because Detroit is irrelevant. Has been for years, will be for years.

    As far a a 6 point plug in the American league is concerned...

    Detroit is purgatory....

    Grand Rapids is hell.

    Stop pucks, move trucks. 

    Saves get made, sell Escalade. 

    Cover the net, push the Vette.

    Allow less than two, peddle that Rendezvous. 

    (you get the idea) 

    Play like our D, end up in a rusty GMC.
