Obviously, because we all know that the TV & Google are synonymous with Truth, never agendas. Substitute flu for corona. Fear porn.

That makes no sense to me. The first bracket attempt had this in Albany: 1 North Dakota 8 Massachusetts 9 Clarkson 16 Atlantic Hockey champion But then they wanted to move Cornell to help attendance, so it ends up as this in Loveland: 1 North Dakota 6 Denver 11 Ohio State 16 Atlantic Hockey champion Seems to be screwing over the potential #1 overall just to marginally help out attendance in Albany (do Cornell fans even travel?), which potentially sets up a stronger 2nd round opponent for the #1 overall seed.

Albany and Allentown are close to the same distance from Cornell. CHN seems to think Albany is the spot for UND as you can put a 1/16 and 8/9 matchup there. That puts Cornell in Allentown. And if it’s not much of a travel difference, well... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 If UND stays #1 and DU #6, they will send us to Allentown not Albany or Loveland. They will not put #1 overall with the #6. That makes sense to no one except for NCHC haters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's better news yet: Berry said Kawaguchi will definitely be back this season. "One-hundred percent," Berry said. "I wouldn't rule him out for next weekend here. He made tremendous improvements over the last 24 hours." Heal up for next weekend Gooch. Bring on the Tigers, let's do this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Spring break starts Friday after classes are over. Should be lots of tickets available with students heading home/off to spring break. IF....IF you are a season ticket holder don't be an a** clown and try to make a killing selling your tickets if you can't use them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Ranger Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 So Playoff time is finally here! My take on this team is that depth is their strength. I know they have tried to add a little fire to the Pinto-Michaud line by moving Weatherby there but I don't think that moved the needle enough from Caulfield to keep it together. Again I feel depth is our strength and having a lineup of Guch(hopefully this weekend!)-Adams-MishMash, Michaud-Pinto-Caulfield, Smith-Senden-Hain, and Blaisdell-Weatherby-Bowen (Yon) and rolling 4 lines can really wear down teams. I think this lineup gives us our best shot moving forward and you can always move Weatherby up to the Pinto line when shortening the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as15 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 So does Pinto beat out Bobby Brink for NCHC Rookie of the Year? You can easily make a case for either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think they are putting Caulfield back on that line. I also don’t think Weatherby is going off that line. It was the only line they didn’t change on Saturday night.

I agree but we will still roll four lines and I don't think there was any difference in that line inserting Weatherby over Caulfield. I could argue it was better in previous weeks with Caulfield .

You can have your opinion, but it seems unlikely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHC Pinto 23 games 19 points (11 goals, 8 a) .83 ppg +/- +10 Brink 17 games 16 points ( 6 goals, 10 a) .94 ppg +/- -1 OVERALL Pinto 33 games 28 points (16 goals, 12 a) .85 ppg +/- +19 Brink 28 games 24 points (11 goals, 13 a) .86 ppg +/- +1 Overall, it looks pretty even if you look at points per game although Brink does have the advantage in conference games. Pinto has a decided advantage in +/- (if you care about that) and a slight advantage in blocked shots (11 to 8). As a center, Pinto took over 500 draws, winning 61% of them; Brink only took 11 draws this year, winning 27% of them. Pinto was NCHC rookie of the week 3 times; Brink won the award 2 times. While both are dynamic players, the role Pinto played for UND this season was bigger than what Brink did for DU. (IMO) I'm casting my vote for the guy in green. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with you, and I think most voters will. It is very close, but Pinto's goal totals and the fact that he plays center very effectively puts him over the top. How many times this year has he taken and won a key defensive zone draw? Pretty rare to trust a freshman like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
