southpaw Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 To be fair, I think that game was played without goalies and they were just playing pipes instead. With Rocco, hopefully that's the case next weekend too! 1 Quote
siouxforce19 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 To be fair, I think that game was played without goalies and they were just playing pipes instead. Both those teams have struggled defensively of late IMO. Top of the league in offense, bottom of the league in defense. Quote
Snake Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Both those teams have struggled defensively of late IMO. Top of the league in offense, bottom of the league in defense. Yeah, UND could probably hang 8 on SCSU if they didn't care about giving up 6... Quote
jimdahl Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 As I posted on collegehockeyranked, there's some new uncertainty in how to implement this year's revised RPI/PWR. CHN has published their tables for the first time, noting that they're different from everyone else's, but that they're sure they're right. I've been in communication with both them and USCHO, and I'm not sure there's going to be a quick resolution to this. So, for now, we probably shouldn't be treating anyone's PWR tables as quite so much a "fact" as we did in past years. For now, SiouxSports' tables match USCHO, though I'll definitely watch both carefully and try to do some analysis as to how different the two techniques really are. Quote

Thanks Jim, this stuff really interests me and I hope UND doesn't show up as making the tournament in one site's predictions and out in the other or Selection Sunday could be a nail-biter this year! Which day will you put out UND's PWR predictions for this weekend? Made a nice jump while dormant last week, moving to #15. Quote

So how do we find out who has the most accurate PWR? I like the ones that have UND in 14th... Quote
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 So how do we find out who has the most accurate PWR? I like the ones that have UND in 14th... Yeah, I say we let it play out and whichever system we're higher in at the end of the year is the correct one Quote
siouxweet Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 get in to the top ten in both by march 22 and und should be safe. Quote
Goon Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah, I say we let it play out and whichever system we're higher in at the end of the year is the correct one LOL! That one works for me as well. Quote
jimdahl Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 UND PWR outlook with 10 games to go The "end of regular season" chart moved exactly how it should have for a split since the last one. The "one week" chart shows a lot of downside potential (which fits with the other chart's claim that UND needs to go 7/10 just to keep up with its current ranking or climb slightly). Note that I'm still using the USCHO formula, because it's the one I had working first. Still working on the CHN formula. Quote

siouxu31 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 What about two ties? Equivalent to a split. Quote
siouxweet Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 What about two ties? you just be quiet about ties, you just want to see the farce that is called a shootout. Quote
Goon Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 you just be quiet about ties, you just want to see the farce that is called a shootout. I have yet to see one this year, and I might not eh? Quote
siouxweet Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I have yet to see one this year, and I might not eh? you've seen plenty-you watch the nhl and other college hockey. although that brings up a what if scenario, say und wins friday night and then wins a shootout on saturday, would they do a stick salute beings it wasn't a true sweep? Quote
Ray77 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 you've seen plenty-you watch the nhl and other college hockey. although that brings up a what if scenario, say und wins friday night and then wins a shootout on saturday, would they do a stick salute the traditional circle of sticks beings it wasn't a true sweep?

Goon Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 FYP Am I the only one that thinks that's funny... Circle of sticks has a nice ring to it... Quote
siouxweet Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Am I the only one that thinks that's funny... Circle of sticks has a nice ring to it... you have definately been around hammer too much. Quote
Blackheart Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Sioux at 16 after the Omaha win...looks like we dropped one spot? Quote
cberkas Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Sioux at 16 after the Omaha win...looks like we dropped one spot? UND was at 16 before the game ended. Quote
Blackheart Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 UND was at 16 before the game ended. Ok....hope we can move up a little this weekend... Quote
siouxforce19 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 UND was at 16 before the game ended. We actually at one point had slipped to 17. Quote
Wilbur Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I think if Bucky wins, UND will get a bump......because BU beat Sconny, who will beat the #2 team.... Come on Bucky. Quote
bigskyvikes Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 14th right now. Where r u getting 17th? Quote
Blackheart Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 CHN has us at 13, Uscho has us at 16 but not all games updated yet. Quote
