AZSIOUX Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 3 NCHC series left tied with SCSU at the top. UND was swept in Denver while Duluth had the weekend off after losing to Bemidji State Tuesday in a make up game at Amsoil UND 22-5-3 -- 13-4-1-1 -- 3rd pairwise UMD 11-12-5 -- 7-8-3-1 -- 22nd pairwise UND 3 series left UMD-@UNO-WMU SCSU 3 series left @UNO-UMD-@CC DU 3 series left CC(outdoor game Thursday at Coors Field/home sat)-@WMU-UNO **UNO has a hell of a 3 series stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-RedSox fan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Omaha 3 series left: SCSU-UND-@Denver Duluth: @UND-@SCSU-Miami Miami: @WMU-CC-@Duluth WMU: Miami-Denver-@UND CC: Denver-@Miami-SCSU Best and worst case scenarios for each team CC: Can finish 4th-8th. Winning out gets them 31 points on the season. If Omaha loses out, Duluth loses out, Miami only beats Duluth, and WMU doesn't win out; CC can get to 4th. Most likely finish is 7th or 8th. WMU: Can finish 4th-8th. Winning out gets them to 32 points. Omaha loses out and Miami and Duluth split but win no other games; WMU gets to 4th. Again pretty much locked into 7th or 8th Miami: Can finish 3rd-8th. Winning out puts them at 40 points. If SCSU and UND win out and Denver wins <2 games then Miami gets to 3rd. Most likely finish in the 4th-6th spots. They have the most favorable schedule of those 3 teams fighting for the last home playoff spot. Duluth: Can finish 1st-8th. Winning out puts them at 43. SCSU and UND would both need to lose out, Omaha loses at least one point to Denver, and Denver winning less than 3 games; Duluth gets to 1st. They could fall to 8th if CC wins at least 5, WMU wins at least 4, and Miami gets at least 4 points. This is possible. Like Miami; they most likely will finish between 4th and 6th. They have a more favorable schedule than Omaha. Omaha: Can finish 1st-8th. Winning out puts them at 43. If SCSU and UND both lose out, Denver wins 2 or less games, and Duluth drops a point against Miami; Omaha gets 1st. Similar situation as Duluth puts them in last. Most likely will finish 4th-6th and have the most difficult schedule of the 3. Denver: Can finish 1st-6th. Winning out puts them at 53 points. They can only finish 6th if they lose out, Omaha wins out, Duluth and Miami split, and then win the rest of their games. They are more than likely locked into 3rd at this point. SCSU and UND: Can finish 1st-5th. Winning out puts them at 59 points. Either team finishes fifth by losing out and Omaha and Duluth winning out. They're both likely locked into 1st and 2nd with pretty much the same remaining schedule. Both go to Omaha and host Duluth. SCSU goes to CC and UND hosts WMU. That is pretty much a wash. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-RedSox fan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 CC and WMU would both need to win the NCHC tournament to make the NCAA tournament. Miami and Duluth can't afford to lose many more games if they want to be automatic bids. Duluth has less room for error. Miami could maybe lose 1 or 2. Omaha and Denver just need to play around .500 hockey the rest of the way to be automatic qualifiers. UND and SCSU would need to have meltdowns of epic proportions and still would likely make it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboys5xsbs Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 UND and SCSU have very similar schedules to finish out the year. Both get Duluth at home and UNO on the road. We need to be on our A game if we want to finish 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I was reading my Facebook page today and came across this blog post from last year. UND is almost the same place they were last year, only 6 points ahead of last season's point total in the NCHC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't think last weekend was Cam's fault by any means, I think letting in 9 goals on the weekend has to make you at least consider it.

Not even sure he's viewed as the back-up at this point in the season, especially with approximately 5 minutes of game time that came in an exhibtion. He didn't make the trip to Denver, Hrynkiw traveled as the #2. Doesn't meant he couldn't get a shot but gives you an idea of what the staff is thinking.

Ripe for the picking. Lol are we all of the sudden going into underdog mode?? Still the third best team in goals allowed in the NCAA and sporting the second best goalie. I'm guessing that was tongue in cheek, but I think we'll see a much better defensive effort out of our boys against the Dawgs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like sandbag competition we can't let them win. We can bury them on the ice or in the sand: either one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get a .500 team at home coming off a horrible weekend at DU. If things go south for UND this weekend there will be a run on Xanax and pitchforks in GF on Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
