siouxweet Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 My best guess: A split will not help us, it will still leave us on the bubble. Losing two will really hurt our chances, making it critical to sweep Mankato and sweep the first round of the WCHA playoffs, and probably win the first game at the xcel. A sweep should put us in good position for the NC$$ tourny. My fear with this years team is that we dug such a hole early that we have not had much room for error. Combined with injuries and a short bench I have a feeling that the team may just run out of gas. It is difficult in any sport playing catch-up all the time, combine that with a depleted roster and it is very difficult to overcome. Right now I would gladly settle for two point this w/e (as much as I hate Denver) and no more injuries. a split this weekend would be huge for the big picture. sure it wouldn't really move us up that far in the pwr this weekend, in fact we would probably remain about where we are. however this team is going to need to win games through the final five and a split would be huge in the race for homeice and I think everyone here agrees that are chances are much better at winning a first round series at home rather than on the road. split at DU, sweep MSU, win first round series and get to the X would put is in pretty good position. my guess is when it is all said and done come selection sunday we will be in about 12th in the pwr.

ringneck28 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Siouxweet, I could not agree more. The Friday game is going to be key. Quote
GoalieMask Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 More info on the TV front... Friday is on NBCSN. Saturday gets tricky. For Fargo (Cable One) it does show FCS has the game on 308 but only from 9:00-10:30 CT so it looks like it may be joined in progress. They did this with Michigan-Mich Stats two weeks back. It will be T H time for the 1st period. Quote

siouxweet Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I believe sat night is on midco 329 as well. at least it was listed last night anyways. Quote
UNDColorado Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Tickets just purchased for the Sat night game and they even include a buffet! Ever since college this is one of my favorite rivals and should be an awesome series! Quote
ringneck28 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I believe sat night is on midco 329 as well. at least it was listed last night anyways. It is listed on FSN + if you have that channel. Here in Bismarck that is either 329 or 639 and it is the full game. PLUS you wanna talk about old time hockey, they are predicting a winter storm here so what could be any better than hunkering down at home and watching hockey while it snows/ Quote
Goon Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Anyone know if Zucker played against Wisconsin last weekend after the head shot from Rau? Yep he played both games. Quote
Goon Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Or, I believe Root Sports RM will show the game on time. If you get DirecTV, or another provider with those channels, then you're in luck. If you have DirecTV. Game one, 9:00 PM Central Time, 603 on Friday night and 683 on Roots on DirecTV, at 8:00 PM on Saturday Night. Quote
siouxjoy Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 what could be any better than hunkering down at home and watching hockey while it snows/ hunkering down at home and watching hockey while it snows...with liquor Quote
Goon Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 hunkering down at home and watching hockey while it snows...with liquor So are we supposed to get some more snow? Quote
JPDClinton Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 If UND splits this weekend, we have to hope that CC does the same or gets swept. I could see them moving on up after this weekend. Quote
TBR Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Anyone know if midco sports might be picking up these games? Quote
MissSioux85 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Via Twitter: Aaron Dell is practicing but his status for this weekend is still up in the air Quote
siouxkid12 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Anyone know if midco sports might be picking up these games? No, they wont be but I do know that Fridays game will be on the NBC sports network. Quote
siouxweet Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 so I saw in this weeks herlad chat that schloss picked denver to sweep. Quote
GoalieMask Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Schloss has been on the Denver bandwagon for sometime, even after CC took three points from them a few weeks back. Remember that he was also high on Duluth last year even after they had their late season setbacks. Bulletin Board material for the UND lockerroom perhaps? Quote
Goon Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 so I saw in this weeks herlad chat that schloss picked denver to sweep. I saw that too as I was reading the replay of today's chat. DU is good but they just lost to Wisconsin. So they have holes in their game as well. Quote
iluvdebbies Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 so I saw in this weeks herlad chat that schloss picked denver to sweep. Does the team still plan on going? 1 Quote
siouxweet Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Does the team still plan on going? probably shouldn't. our last trip out there didn't go to well and this team has less talent and firepower then that one did. Quote
Sodbuster Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Yeah, well, there's a reason why they they still play the games. Quote
bigskyvikes Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Anyone watch the NHL game Wed night on NBCsports? The commercial for college hockey Friday was pretty cool! Says North Dakota taking conference rival Denver, shows the Sioux dropping Gopher players with huge checks, and Denver with scoring videos against the Gophers! I thought that was fun to watch, hehehe! Quote

Oxbow6 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Weekend Preview: UND at Denver Discuss. Dave I agree with Dave. If UND is going to win a game, it's tonight. We had little jump last Saturday after controlling play Friday vs. Tech. Quote
