AZSIOUX Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Gothberg has been a wall, the D overall on both ends has been much better! Gothberg and co. have given up 5 goals in their last 4 games. That's lights out! Forbort had a awesome weekend. Simpson solid as always. 5 min major pp was brutal Friday but still wore UNO down so thanks don Adam for once and probably the only time ill ever say that Sitting 2nd and in good shape to get a top 3 finish which would be nice. or...maybe sneak in and make that last weekend interesting if they can stay hot. Pairwise position much improved after the sweep. sitting 6th as of this minute. Kristo, Knight and MacW are playing big time hockey right now. Macs block was just awesome hope Zane was getting back in the net. Kristo and HOBEYKNIGHTER are playing at a very high level along with Rocco. The speed of Danny and Rocco is very noticeable out there causing match up problems. Hak has his lineup now for most part! A couple guys could interchange from the 3rd line but that's about it if anything. Week off then off to Denver to face George and the Gwozettes . Series left for UND after this weeks bye @Denver BSU @Mankato A month to go then the march to the Burgh is on! HOBEYKNIGHTER !!! Quote
GoalieMask Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Top three finish is very likeable even with 8 or 9 points over the next six games. To hoist MaNaughton will require even more wins plus a Jan Brady letdown coupled with some setbacks for the Goofs. 1st round bye for St. Paul has to be the target now. Great weekend, Sioux! Denver split Bemidji sweep Purple Cows 3 pts Quote
krangodance Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I might be incorrect but I don't think there's anything special about 3rd place anymore. I believe a top-2 finish is necessary to get a first round bye if you advance to the Final Five (unless one of the top-2 were to lose in the first round in which case the 3 seed would become the 2 seed in the Final Five if they advance).

That's true, but if you look at the standings, there's quite a difference between the teams in 10th-12th versus 7th-9th. I'd much rather play Tech, BSU or UAA in the opening round than UMD or CC. Because of that, 3rd place is an absolute necessity. 2nd or 1st is just icing on the cake. Quote

Denver split Bemidji sweep Purple Cows 3 pts I would love to see BSU get a sweep, I don't know if it's possible, I was listening to Scott and Moose's show yesterday and I don't know if they have even scored 2 goals per game recently during the second half of the season.

Goon I think he meant the SIOUX split with dumver, sweep the beavs, then hope for at least 3 or 4 at the purple cows. Go FIGHTING SIOUX! Quote

BeazSioux Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I definitely hope BSU can get it going against dull-uth as well Quote

All done despite the shoddy coaching of Dave Hakstol for sure! Quote
jodcon Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 All done despite the shoddy coaching of Dave Hakstol for sure! It's not Hakstol, it's Berry's defense giving up 7 goals in 5 games, glad we didn't fire him when the headhunters were out earlier. Hak we can now fire. Quote
ringneck28 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Coach Berry states that team has these priorities. First they want a top 6 finish for home ice, then top 2 for 1st round bye for final 5 and then the McNaughton Cup. I think out of all of these goals, the top 2 is the most important. It would be nice to not have the Thursday night game. Quote

It would be nice to not have the Thursday night game. I would love to avoid that Thursday game but we'll need some help, it's all St. Cloud's and Minnesota's to lose right now, and looking at their schedule and ours one of them is going to have to tank a weekend for it to happen. We'll know a lot more after the weekend UND is @Denver and SCSU is @CC, if we get more points that weekend than SCSU we have a chance, if not it looks like a battle for 3rd. Quote
ringneck28 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 All that UND can do is their own part. They can't worry about what the other teams do. They need to take this week off and make sure they are ready for the stretch run that will hopefully end in Pittstown with number 8. Quote

Team is healthy, playing well, and in a good position in the conference and PWR, keep it rolling all the way to Pitt. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Given that the team left on Wednesday and won't be getting home until Monday, the bye week couldn't have come at a better time. Quote

LakotaNation Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 And just think had UND been scheduled to play Denver this weekend. They would have to leave on Wednesday. Good thing they can relax a little while after everything that's happened the past few days. Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 It's not Hakstol, it's Berry's defense giving up 7 goals in 5 games, glad we didn't fire him when the headhunters were out earlier. Hak we can now fire. Phil Housley would have had the team defense giving up 0 goals in the past 5 games. Quote
ringneck28 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Does anyone have the what if calculator up for the final 4 weeks? I know there was one the last couple of years. Like to play around with all the possibilities. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Does anyone have the what if calculator up for the final 4 weeks? I know there was one the last couple of years. Like to play around with all the possibilities. It's up on the main page I believe Quote
ringneck28 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 So I did my calculations and what I have come up with may be the safe picks, but I do believe it may happen. I am thinking that between UND, SCSU, and Minn. it will end up like this, SCSU with 37, UND 36 and UMN 34. Which would mean that every series is a split except UND against Beavers being a sweep. I would like to think that Wisco can give UMN a series, but giving up a home game goes beyond comprehension to me and costs them 2 pts. I would like to think that MN will split with both the Bulldogs and Beavers. Every team in Minn. loves playing the goofs and brings their best just like with UND. I think that SCSU may have the toughest time holding to this split theory in CC. CC is playing great hockey right now. They have a 5 game unbeaten streak of their own going right now. In saying this, they may spring a surprise to the WCHA standings. If this happens, then UND may be a regular season champ. WOW what an ending this will be to the WCHA as we know it. Quote
