jimdahl Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 EDIT: siouxweet...why does New Hampshire win the RPI over us when they're identical? Not sure what source you're using, but I see about a .0005 difference here and about a .0003 difference on USCHO (which is missing about 5 finished games as of now). There's no official tie-breaker beyond RPI (except the "interconference strength" criterion I've never seen come into play), but I've also never seen truly identical RPIs. Most of us only publish it to 4 digits, but the full actual number is what's considered in compraisons. Quote
dj_hoime Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Damn - must be some Sioux fans at the WI-DU game. There was a scrum resulting in penalties. I am sure the Sioux were at fault. Its all the Alcohol they are serving! Goofs -Schroeder Checking from behind 5min. 0-0 Quote
Hambone Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 was barriball I'm not watching but all the goph fans on USCHO are saying it was Schroeder. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I'm not watching but all the goph fans on USCHO are saying it was Schroeder. my bad, you are right Quote

It's different now there's a .0005 difference. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 man there are so many of those called in the wcha. this was deserved but wow. for a team that depends on that top line this cant help minny Quote
808287 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 If you recall, Dunc's got the boot last year against the Brown and Yellow for CFB, just a minute into the game. He was just too pumped up for the goofs and goin' for it into the boards. Sometimes it's just hard play, sometimes its a cheap hit. In either case, it's a penalty and I think the game misconducts should continue. Shyiak can grouse all he wants to, but one R. Bina is too many. (In my opinion). Now then... GO SIOUX!! Quote
Stlh173 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 WI-DU tied at 2 after 2 WI 3 - DU 2 at 2:12 into 3rd period Quote
jimdahl Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Ya well when I noticed it we were both tied at .5443 I believe and I was checking on CHN. It's different now there's a .0005 difference. Ah, my bad, didn't think to check there. Good source though, I've recently noticed CHN is definitely most current during games. Anyway, that's why I tried to answer the question at large -- there is no other tie-breaker. When it looks tied, there are almost certainly digits not being displayed that are deciding. Quote

GO SIOUX!! agree and maybe the crazy number will have players think twice but there is a problem with players turning late now and thats not gona help the situation. shyiak was right on with his complaint. very very tough rule to call Quote
Upper Deck Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Bemidji State swept Niagara this weekend (Thurs/Fri). Don't know if this helps the pairwise. Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 While I am sometimes easily impressed, it is real cool to see the UNO arena not have any advertising cluttering up its boards. Old school. Looks cool. The Mavericks are giving the so-called No. 2 team in the country all that it can handle tonight. Quote
brianvf Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 1-0 CC Nice goal The Tigers looked like crap before scoring the goal. Not hitting passes, just sloppy play in general. Hard to believe that this is the same team that was picked to win the league so many months ago... Quote

No doubt it's a tough call to make, and you are right, players are starting to turn their back. I'm sure they might be getting "coached" to turn their backs. That's part of the game, I suppose, even if it changes the game a bit. It's hard to lose a key player on a bad play, no question. And yet, the rule is there for a reason. Hopefully with enough dq's made players will adapt their style and find another way to work along the boards. I will, however, miss some of the hits that used to happen but are now avoided for fear of "back turning". Body play is one of my favorite aspects of the game and always will be, I love to see a solid check delivered with a smile. I just don't want to see college guys back-boarded out of the arena with a neck collar more. Injuries are part of the sport, but if the really serious ones can be avoided (even a few of them) I think it's worth the effort. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 man there are so many of those called in the wcha. this was deserved but wow. for a team that depends on that top line this cant help minny You never want to be down a player when you have to play at CC or DU due to the altitude as well.

808287 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 UNO's goalie coming up huge. 3-3 1 min. left Quote
AZSIOUX Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 WOW UW 3 DU 3 extra atacker. a tie is fine as well for the sioux if it ends up that way Quote
siouxweet Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Us, Minnesota and Wisconsin all win the Northeastern comparison now and they fall all the way to 9th. EDIT: siouxweet...why does New Hampshire win the RPI over us when they're identical? if you take it outfar enough the wildcats might have a .00001 advantage. Quote
UND in Ohio Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 OSU didn't show up again tonight, UM win 4-1 Quote
