SJHovey Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 If we don’t win it, I’d like to see an NCHC team win it, just because it riles fans in other conferences. It goes without saying that DU and UMD are at the bottom of my list of NCHC teams I’d cheer for though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, which “couple” of the next three opponents do you feel North Dakota will sweep then? St. Cloud State is obviously now off the table. @ Denver? @ Western Michigan? vs Duluth?

Isn't it about time for those probability stats to start making an appearance... This team is worse than last year's team. Last year's team barely missed the playoffs and had the first round at home, this teams season is basically over already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpaw Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 The main thing that gives me hope is UND has a pretty good goalie and that's all it takes late in the season and playoffs. He has given this team a chance to win every night and I could see him putting together a string of dominant performances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely will not cheer for UMD, DU or SCSU unless they are playing Minnesota or Wisconsin. Maybe BC, too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went and was the lone UND fan in a group of 5 DU fans. They all made a comment about his size. “Is he 6’7”???” They were impressed with his play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I ever cheered for a WCHA team, although I preferred UMD to beat Michigan in 2011 only because I didn't want Michigan to get further ahead of us. However, the NCHC programs took a fair amount of heat and ridicule for forming the so-called "super conference" once the B1G broke up college hockey as we knew it. With the great success of the NCHC in getting teams into the tournament, and then success within the tournament, I kind of feel like it rubs the noses of the detractors in it a little bit, which I don't mind one bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cheered for Sandelan also. In non conference games verses NCHC teams, I cheer for the NCHC teams because of the Pairwise. Then I will also cheer for non conference teams that we played or going to play when they play other non conference teams, same MO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point on the PWR. If it helps us, of course I'll cheer for a rival. We've one three in a row, now. So, I'm all done cheering for my rivals, unless it helps UND. I actually did cheer for Duluth previously, but then the 2017 Frozen Faceoff title game happened and I lost all respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Was playing with the predictor this afternoon (Yes, I was bored). These are the result that I found hey UND to 18th. Some of the wins didn't help, but a loss hurt the PWR. Lowell over Mass Omaha over Miami Bemidji over Ferris State Minnesota over Penn State Wisconsin over Ohio State St Cloud over CC Canisius over Bentley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowell over Mass Omaha over Miami Bemidji over Ferris State Minnesota over Penn State Wisconsin over Ohio State St Cloud over CC Canisius over Bentley I messed with the previous results last night to bum myself out. Winning 1 of 2 a Canisus would've had us up to either 16 or 18 can't remember, and sweeping would've had us in #12. Canisius has 9 wins, 2 vs Nodak.....

Last year's team barely missed the playoffs and had the first round at home, this teams season is basically over already. They say UND has a 68% to make the playoffs. Which I just don't get. .1% to get an at large bid, but 67% to run through the NCHC to win the Frozen Faceoff and make the NCAA's. 67% Seems extremely high and I just don't see it. Looking at other teams they have UND (20 in PWR) the 11th most likely team to make the tournament percentage wise right now. Right behind Western Michigan at number 10 PWR with a 92% chance at making the NCAA. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/probabilityMatrix.php I need to find a betting site with those odds and put some money down. My 85% guess to miss the playoffs was pretty accurate based on just PWR positioning, and the average of the 19th team (23% chance to make tournament) and 21 PWR team (5% chance to make the tournament).

Cratter Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 It dawned on me why they have UND so high, and why a few years ago I had trouble analyzing CHNs style of probabilities chart. The NCHC "AQ" column teams have to add up to 100%. But SCSU, DU, and UMD "AQ" column only adds up to 2%. So the lower ranked teams in the NCHC automatically get the rest of the percentages. So take their numbers with a grain of salt. IMO, CHN needs to redo how they present these numbers. Cause unless I missed something, CC (only 5 spots below UND in PWR) has a higher than 0% to make the NCAA right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'm showing we need to win about 6 of the final 8 to be inside the bubble. Then of course you have the NCHC playoffs. I'd think winning 6 of 8 and then winning the 1st round would get us in. It's a big ask but not impossible with the teams we have left to play. Split vs WMU and UMD, sweep CC and UNO.
