InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Looking at the latest USCHO poll...how crazy would our Regional be if we went straight off of USCHO rankings instead of PWR... #1 - North Dakota #8 - MI Tech #9 - Rodents #16 - BC I'm assuming you mean if autobids weren't in play because then Robert Morris or some other AHA team would knock BC out... which would be wonderful Quote
Sojudaddy Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I'm assuming you mean if autobids weren't in play because then Robert Morris or some other AHA team would knock BC out... which would be wonderful Yeah...just straight up rankings. I know it'll be totally different, but was just thinking how interesting if a regional with those teams represented would be. Quote
Stack Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 This next month is a scary month for the pairwise. The two games against Niagara are the scariest since they are LAST amongst all teams in the pairwise. If we don't sweep those guys who knows how far we drop. Then we also have CC who we also need to sweep. Granted we could make some of that up if we can win 3 of 4 against Duluth and Omaha. So here's what we need to do: Sweep Duluth (I'm getting tired of of being satisifed with a split at home, time to sweep) Sweep Niagara Sweep Colorado College (see above) Split at Omaha If we do that we'll be in the top 4 in the pairwise with Denver, Western Michigan, St Cloud, and Miami left. Thinking we go 5-3 in these games and finish the second half of the season at 12-4 with a 25-8-2. BUT I'm guessing we have a tie in there someplace and one less win so 24-8-3. In 1999-2000 season we were 24-7-5 heading into the playoffs. Look familiar? Quote

North Dakota MHockey @UNDmhockey Dave Hakstol tells UND Fan Luncheon injured D Troy Stecher skated for the first time yesterday. Skated lightly on his own, did not practice. Hakstol got the injury report from his 6 year old son who was there and reported that "Stecher looked awesome". Hakstol said it will likely still be a few more weeks. Quote
Goon Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I interviewed Cam Johnson last week. What a nice kid, that has a really good attitude. Getting to Know Cam Johnson Quote

SJHovey Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Here's an interesting statistic. Excluding Cam Johnson, only one player for UND has a minus for his +/- rating thus far this year -- Steph Pattyn. http://collegehockeystats.net/1415/teamstats/ndkm Quote

Goon Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Chris Dilks hatred of UND is almost comical. 1. North Dakota 18-5-2 (58) North Dakota swept a team near the bottom of the college rankings at home for the second straight weekend with a pair of victories over Colorado College. Their final ten conference games should be much tougher, starting next weekend with a tough road trip to Omaha. Quote
bale31 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Chris Dilks hatred of UND is almost comical. As an outsider, I'm not sure what the problem with what he said is. UND swept a bad team and the schedule will get harder. How does stating the obvious constitute hatred? Quote
SJHovey Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Chris Dilks hatred of UND is almost comical. I don't think Chris really hates us. In fact this year he's actually written some pretty positive articles or comments about the team or individuals on it. He does probably get tired of UND fans tweeting him or emailing him or adding comments to his blog posts ripping on him about UND, but that would get tiring for just about anyone. I saw his comments this morning and wondered whether UND fans would come out and comment. The way I interpreted his comments was like this. First, he was one of just two of their group to pick someone other than UND as number one. Both Chris and Nate Wells went with Mankato, but that's kind of natural. First, they saw Mankato take apart Minnesota this weekend. I think Chris is also very impressed with Mankato's team this year. I know I am. I saw them play in person a few weeks ago, and they are certainly very good. Too often people who vote in polls tend to just see how the teams did relative to the team above or below them, and rank them that way, rather than put some actual thought in the process. I suspect Chris believes that UND has climbed to the top simply by virtue of 4 consecutive wins (tough to do in the second half of a season) rather than truly being the best team in the country. I'm not convinced we're best. I think we can be at times, but I have no problem saying there may be one or two teams better right now. Quote
scpa0305 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 As an outsider, I'm not sure what the problem with what he said is. UND swept a bad team and the schedule will get harder. How does stating the obvious constitute hatred? I hear you. However, I was tracking his tweets Saturday night and he seemed to be a Gopher fan. Maybe goon knows more. Quote

How does stating the obvious constitute hatred? I would have to agree. Seems to be 2 unrelated things to me. Chris Dilks may in fact hate UND but nothing in this little blurb would lead anyone to believe that? Facts are facts and UND has beaten quite a few bad teams this year....which is better than the alternative. Quote

MafiaMan Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Chris Dilks hatred of UND is almost comical. I dunno about "comical"...seems like a pretty fair assessment to me. Quote

And no way the goofs make it up to a 3 seed. Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Fetch, those rankings were from January 5th. You'll have to look far lower than #9 to find Minnesota these days. Quote
cberkas Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 SB College Hockey seems to be mostly about B1G and Hockey East these days. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Fetch, those rankings were from January 5th. You'll have to look far lower than #9 to find Minnesota these days. Try at #20........below the Mendoza line. Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Try at #20........below the Mendoza line. You may have to explain that term to some of the younglings of the board... Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 The way I see it, Fargo Regional would have UND, Lowell, UMD, and Tech...if the season ended today that is... Quote
