Big A HG Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The braketology on USCHO is up here and an interesting piece on the side talks about if we sweetp SCSU will they fall out of the top 25? They currently sit at 19 which seems safe to me but if they drop out there would go our two current TUC wins plus the two we'd get from sweeping them RPI is more helpful than TUC points right now. I'd like to think St. Cloud will continue it's hot streak after we sweep them and get back in the top 25. Here's hoping they don't drop beyond that point at this stage anyways. If we can raise our RPI by up to .02 by the rest of the season, we'll jump a lot of people ahead of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 #19 St. Cloud RPI .5248 #26 UMass-Lowell (HE) .5083 #27 Quinnipiac (ECAC) .5076 #28 UMass (HE) .5074 If St. Cloud were to drop .15 in one weekend, which is unlikely, they'd still be ahead of these teams. Lowell is at Maine this week for one game, so I don't see their RPI rising significantly even with a win...seeing as they only play once. Quinnipiac at Brown and at Yale. Yale is 16th in the RPI, but Brown is a bottom feeder. Quinnipac might sweep, but won't get the jump they need. UMass is playing Northeastern and at Maine, one game each. Northeastern is 3rd in terms of RPI right now, meaning they are definitely considered a good team based on the RPI, so a win could bump them up a lot. A see a split in those 2 games, so that won't do the trick. All that, not to mention, there are still 6 other teams between St. Cloud at UMass-Lowell, so chances are, at at least one other team is going to drop enough spots to save room for St. Cloud in the top 25. Minnesota State is #29, so if they get in, I don't know how their TUC's and COp would compare to ours. We'd win RPI over them and we'd split a point each for H2H. I'm guessing we'd win COp due to our conference standings, giving us another point. If their TUC percentage is higher than what I think it might be, they could be a problem. I don't see them getting a comparison point over us, but thought I'd point out that if they sweep us next time we play, they might have a chance to leap us. If we get swept then anyways, I don't think this point will matter anyways, so I basically just wasted a few minutes of my life worrying about it.

They currently sit at 19 which seems safe to me but if they drop out there would go our two current TUC wins plus the two we'd get from sweeping them yeah it could happen but who cares. nothing we can do about that. win and we will be fine. scsu can move their may back up the next weekend if they do fall out but they could also hang in there depending on how other teams do. if it was the end of the season with no games left then that would be a issue but not right now sioux sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodbuster Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 If you live in Minnesota(Duluth, Mankato, Twin Cities, Etc.) and receive Charter Main Street Sports, the games will be on that channel this weekend too. Comcast in the Cities picks up that channel too. Charter Sports Why are St. Cloud and Mankato black holes as far as TV back here in ND? It's not like they're a zillion miles away like Alaska.

BigGreyAnt41 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 According to Comcast cable... both games will be live on Channel 13 KABL. Both games? I saw a commercial advertising the Saturday night game but it didn't mention Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND85 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I just got back from watching the Sioux practice at the NHC in St. Cloud. Everyone looked sharp and Kozak was full speed. They ended practice with a shoot out competition. Everyone who scored went to one side of the ice and those that missed went towards the bench. Last two still scoring were Toews and Zajac. Even the coaches get to play. After it was all done they all dog piled the two goalies and pretended to beat them up. Pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made a difference last Sat. agree and i dont even look at this team as 1,2,3,4 lines. i see them all very very similar with a couple more potent but that koze,toews,malone line has been looking good and tonight i think they have a big game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the toews-malone-kozek line. It's been good to see Malone play more of a role than last year and see him produce more than last year.

Sioux_Hab-it Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 does anyone know what this "tire drill" is I've heard mentioned several times in the show. is it just skating around tires? The most common tire drill for elite athletes involves putting on a halter and tether with an old tire attached and running with it in trail to improve leg strength.
