MafiaMan Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Regardless of what happens today, UND deserves to be in the tournament - even if the ratings churn out results that say otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 So if we do win would we just be playing Minnesota again in first game NCAA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five-HoleFrenzy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Likely would have if they won but the task proved to be too difficult as they are defeated 3-1 tonight by Minnesota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakvindy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 UND drops a heartbreaker to Minnesota 3-1. Took an early lead, then Gophs get two PPGs and an empty netter with a minute left. UND had some good chances late. Minnesota should be happy, since the only team that can likely hand with them won't even make the tourney. Too bad Karvinen's career ends this way, barring an NCAA eligibility miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLW4GOPHERS Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 How long has Karvinin been at North Dakota? Just curious as why this is her last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 How long has Karvinin been at North Dakota? Just curious as why this is her last year. Third year I believe...maybe second. NCAA clearinghouse limited eligibility years at UND due to whatever course work she took over in Europe. UND will try for another year, but many are saying that it will be shot down and she will have no eligibility left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogg1971 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 6 schools from the East and 2 from the West?........what a joke. The NCAA really wants the East to win their first title don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 And how does it get fixed? Does the WCHA need to play less league games and start beating up on the East more? Does it even matter until a WCHA team finally doesn't win it all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the presser today, Idalski said that there is no inclination to change the PRW system at all which means that the WCHA is going to have to change to an unbalanced schedule system... if the WCHA will be willing to do that.

It's her third year playing, and eligibility was actually limited due to a league she played in in Europe, not coursework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDHockey Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It is hard for me to feel sorry for our club. They had the chance to get in and blew it down the stretch. I know some people will point to losing 3 good players for a period of time as a cause but that is a bit of a weak argument when you look at what Minnesota achieved without Kessel and Stecklein for the entire season. We had our chances against teams we should have beaten (especially the home games with Mankato) and we just didn't get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiSioux Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just saw that Clarkson won the NCAA tournament beating Minnesota 5-4. First time a non-WCHA school has won. Congrats to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YaneA sent me a text regarding that score. I didn't believe it. Sounds like Clarkson had a heckofa team. Kinda like the east when it comes to men's hockey, nobody seems to think women play hockey anywhere east of Madison. Good for Clarkson! Interesting note to online article linked below - the last two Gopher title teams have murals in Ridder Arena - one wearing maroon jerseys, the other wearing yellow jerseys. The Gopher women decided to wear white in the '14 championship game so that they could have a third mural done in the third different jersey.

Too much success breads arrogance and complacency and that is happening with the Gopher women's program. Just for clarification...The arrogance and complacency that is happening? Is that why they didn't win the national championship this year or are you talking about it setting in now that they lost in the championship game and the affect will be seen next year and beyond?

Over time, it will become more of an issue. It happened with the men's program in the 1980's and 90's and it eventually caught up with them. This year's runner-up finish is the law of averages kicking in, but it's possible the players subconsciously started thinking it was in the bag and that might have been a factor in the loss. Btw, I wonder if they'll put a mural of their "Runner-Up" finish next to their championship murals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that played a part in the first series with UND this year where they won handily on Friday but lost on Saturday. But I'm not sure I buy the idea that taking an opponent lightly in a game or two means arrogance and complacency is setting into the program. I guess time will tell if your theory holds true. I guessing the mural of the runner-up finish would be more of an SCSU thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
