When relatively fit people get injured from falling, I always wonder if the fall was completely accidental, or if something happened medically (vertigo, MI, stroke, seizure, etc.) to cause the fall in the first place. Hopefully Butch has a quick recovery. Read that he caught an edge, then hit his head on the ice. Was in warm ups, so he didn't have helmet on. Quote

Ugh, that's horrible. 19 minutes ago, Fighting Sioux 23 said: I think it is highly likely that Northeastern gets sent to Cincinnati or St. Paul. If Northeastern makes the tournament they are locked in as a #4 seed and can't play Providence. If Quinnipiac wins they will be the #1 overall seed, and Northeastern would be sent to either Cincinnati or St. Paul. IMO, the only way Northeastern stays east is if Quinnipiac loses and is the #3 overall seed, which requires both North Dakota and SCSU to win. Ah, I forgot about the intraconference thing with Providence. I was thinking possibly Minn or Mankato to St Paul (if only one makes it), Ferris to Cinci if they win, etc.. Quote

I guess we'll just have to cheer for North Dakota to win and Quinnipiac, SCSU, and Minnesota to lose. Then we won't have to worry about Northeastern. Quote
cberkas Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 If going by the short history of the NCHC. The winner of the tournament will be Duluth. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Why is everyone so worried about who we play? Either we're good enough or not. I don't want to back our way through the tournament I want great games the whole way through. 3 Quote

That result is more likely if North Dakota plays Robert Morris in the First Round rather than Northeastern. I really couldn't care less if we backed our way through the tournament and won a national championship. I don't believe the '83 Badgers put an asterisk on their National Title banner, and our '97 banner is still pretty nice. Quote
crb1 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Whatever path we take we just have to take care of business. I could really care less which path that is. Boys need to get it done regardless. Also UMN look pathetic last night for large stretches of their game against Ohio St. I was really surprised how much Ohio State was taking the body and how they were throwing the Goofers around. I think Michigan lites them up tonight. Quote

Yes, you have to beat the best in order to be the best, but there's nothing wrong with hoping to face a team that had to win an autobid instead of facing a team that would be #10 in pairwise if they had split with Bentley instead of getting swept early in the season.

Our team is young and seem to not handle going from low level opponents to high level ones well. That reared it's ugly head yesterday. Quote

That reared it's ugly head yesterday. I don't think it's fair to equate Robert Morris (or Mankato for that matter) with CC or Western. Robert Morris is a high level opponent...they just aren't at the level of Northeastern. The Huskies might be playing the best hockey out of any team in the country. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Northeastern already up 1-0 less than two min in. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 1-1 now. Really good pace to start this game. Quote
