82SiouxGuy Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 How does this 2nd part make sense? What do they clinch with one more point if they are tied with the Sioux at same points? With the Sioux already clinching? Check out @TheNCHC's Tweet: https://twitter.com/...644402412908544 The tiebreaker is conference wins. UND has more conference wins than anyone. I know that UND could tie for 4th place if they lose all 4 remaining games, and would take 4th place because of more conference wins. My guess is that if St. Cloud loses all 4 remaining wins they could also tie for 4th, but may not have the tiebreaker over the team they would be tied with. That's why they need 1 more point. 1 Quote

ribimhol Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 any ideas on ways to get tickets for @scsu this weekend? Thanks Quote
Pump It Up Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 any ideas on ways to get tickets for @scsu this weekend? Thanks Saturday is sold out beyond standing room, might have to try Craigslist or Stub Hub. Plenty of seats still left for Friday through scsuhuskies.com Quote
Fetch Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 No Saturday tv coverage who do we fire for that ? ? ? Quote
bigskyvikes Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 No Saturday tv coverage who do we fire for that ? ? ? Is there a web feed? This is a must see weekend! Wish I could go. Quote

Pump It Up Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Is there a web feed? This is a must see weekend! Wish I could go. SCSU has a high quality web feed for 8-9 dollars per game. I wouldn't be surprised if Midco picked up the Charter feed like they did in Duluth this weekend. 1 Quote
Siouxman Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 For those having Charter Communications cable TV, SCSU home games are broadcast on channel 426 and channel 823 HD in the St. Cloud and Fergus Falls areas. The Saturday night game should be available on those channels. For Friday night's game, it is channel 412 CBSSN. Quote
scpa0305 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 A split at SCSU and a sweep of WMU at home and UND will win the first Penrose and be a virtual lock for the NCAAs. Go Sioux tiebreaker criteria 1. Conference wins 2. Head to Head 3. Goal differential head to head I was shocked at conference wins over h2h. I was trying to figure out how we were ahead of scsu.

Wilbur Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Starman and whoever the play by play guy is for CBS do a sensational job covering college hockey. UND has a pretty good record this year when they show up too. 1 Quote
TNF Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I'm still a little confused on how we have clinched home ice. Denver is in fifth currently with 29 points. If they were to win the next four games (worth 3 points each) and we lose the next four; they finish with 41 points to our 39 points. We would still finish with more conference wins but I thought points were the main deciding factor only going to conference wins in the case of a tie. Quote
UND-RedSox fan Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 If Denver were to win out we would finish ahead of Western Michigan because they play each other. I'm not sure if we have it clinched though because it is possible for SCSU, Omaha, Duluth, and either WMU or Denver to finish in front of us. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 We have clearly clinched. The NCHC tweeted it and so did Schlossman. You guys are overthinking this 3 Quote

I'm not sure if we have it clinched though because it is possible for SCSU, Omaha, Duluth, and either WMU or Denver to finish in front of us. You have to take into consideration who Denver and WMU play. First of all, they play each other. Both cannot win all four games. If Denver wins all four games, UND is still ahead of Western Michigan. Yes, some teams can finish ahead of UND, but by doing so they prevent other teams from passing UND so they cannot finish worse than a tie for fourth place. Since they would have more conference wins than anyone they could be tied with, UND wins the tie-breaker for home ice. 1 Quote
UND-RedSox fan Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Never mind, I figured out why I was wrong. Duluth and Omaha play each other the last weekend and Duluth would need to sweep in order to finish ahead of us. But if Duluth gets the sweep then we finish at worst tied with Omaha and we can't lose any tie breakers due to our win total. Quote

That's why I wrote it like I did. I was mistaken with Omaha and Duluth both being able to finish ahead of us. I missed that Omaha and Duluth play each other still. Quote
siouxnami Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Forget this home ice crap. 3 non-shootout wins and we clinch at least a share of the Penrose and the #1 seed. Quote
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Forget this home ice crap. 3 non-shootout wins and we clinch at least a share of the Penrose and the #1 seed. And what do we win? A meeting with a dangerous Miami or Colorado College, what a treat Not exactly Michigan Tech or Alaska Anchorage by any means, welcome to the NCHC Quote
siouxforce19 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 And what do we win? A meeting with a dangerous Miami or Colorado College, what a treat Not exactly Michigan Tech or Alaska Anchorage by any means, welcome to the NCHC A trophy. Quote
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 A trophy. Clever, was referring more to how the NCHC is stacked with top to bottom with dangerous teams but yes I do believe they hand out a trophy as well. Quote
Wilbur Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 And what do we win? A meeting with a dangerous Miami or Colorado College, what a treat Not exactly Michigan Tech or Alaska Anchorage by any means, welcome to the NCHC Brad made a good point on his blog or a tweet he made. No more winning the league and getting Tech or Anchorage. I think more importantly, win three of four games to close out the year and that likely means the team has an autobid into the postseason. Of course getting to the Target Center is pretty important now that I have tickets.... Quote

A meeting with a dangerous Miami or Colorado College, what a treat Not exactly Michigan Tech or Alaska Anchorage by any means, welcome to the NCHC at this point it would look like Miami. Quote
yzerman19 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I'd prefer CC...we embarrassed Miami...I don't like seeing a team we humiliated Quote
