Have they always shook hands on Friday night?  Thought it was a Saturday thing....?

That changed at least last year, shake hands both nights.

Horrible angle. Scheels will want that one back. That was a really bad one.

That goal was right in front of me. Scheel had that post sealed, the Kato guy put up a ridiculous shot. If that was a UND goal we would be callin it phenomenal.

2 obvious things thru 3 games:

1. This team will be fun to watch. They play entertaining hockey.

2. Pinto is ridiculously good.

Absolutely, this team has put a far more entertaining product on the ice than anything I saw over the past two, possibly three years.

Responding to earlier posts; nobody looks at Pairwise until about January...

Jan Brady U in St. Cloud looks at the preseason pairwise. It’s kind of their thing.

You do not understand how this works.

Since we don't play Mankato again this season, who wins tomorrow will win the head to head point (1 of 3 comparisons used) and the RPI will somewhat benefit. If there is another tie, then there would be no point for head to head.

PWR uses three criteria which are combined to make a comparison: RPI, record against common opponents and head-to-head competition. RPI is used as a tie breaker.

Road wins are more valuable than home wins in the formula and  rewards teams for victories over top-ranked teams.

Oh ok. I remember back in the day when we would expect a sweep in Mankato. Now we just want moral victory’s. Horray

Or the first year at the new Ralph, getting swept by Mankato at home.

gf is trolling but he forgot to put on a spoon--just dragging a leader out there.   It's early.

Mankato has proven to me they belong in the NCHC. Just need a 10th team.

I just watched the highlights. That Mankato announcer reminds me of a person doing a soccer match. SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obnoxious.

Not asking for a moral anything, but if you think Mankato now is the same Mankato team from back in the day you have lost your last shred of credibility on this board.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t have won, I’m saying we didn’t play bad. That was a good game between two good teams.

UND looks completely different than the past two seasons. So go back to you spelling errors and W2 comparisons.

No way, not until they get an actual arena.

They need an NCAA tournament win first. Even St Cloud has one of those.

COP is huge too.  Winning record vs top team(s) has n a conference sets you up to sweep the entire conference for PWR.

Just win games and let other teams worry about PWR.

Lots of nice golf courses in that area....

I got in laws in Gilbert with a hot tub and a putting green next to their pool.

Sounds like an invitation.
