How does SCSU only have 5 regulation conference wins in 15 games played? Could you imagine our fanbase if we had finished runnerup last season and brought back 23 of 27 guys on the roster and were having the season SCSU is having currently? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explains why they are 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really looking at it, I put Western / St. Cloud / Omaha in the "all in" 2021/2022 category. All three will lose a lot after this year. Up to this point, only Western looks the part. St. Cloud given their past few years, you'd think would be in National Title or bust category. Regular season and where they finish doesn't really matter as long as they make the tournament. Strategically, this would have been a good year to get young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could use a little help from them this weekend against Western Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it depends how the rest of the regular season shakes out. SCSU might not even make it to the Frozen Faceoff if they don’t get home ice, which would probably put their NCAA hopes in question. Especially if they don’t knock out some wins down the stretch. So we’ll see what happens with their upcoming games. I, personally, am rooting for a UMD/SCSU first round NCHC matchup.

Same here, which would possibly give us Omaha for two weeks in a row, which would be the same scenario for St. Cloud / Duluth. Could get ugly.

Omaha only carried 3 over, their seniors have yet to exercise their optional year. They carried a defenseman and 2 forwards. Regardless, I think they should "changer the oil" after this year...

siouxfaninseattle Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Anyone have any feedback about the ticket buying process for the Vegas game? I'm a little leery of the "best available seats" option. Can you ask for different seats than what the computer picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on how each program reports, I did find it difficult to see who was truly in their 5th / Grade year vs just a regular Senior. I actually was basing my comment on the incredibly small (3 or 4 players) Freshman classes those three teams had / the % of returning players from last year. The same can probably be said for St. Cloud / Western. I'm not sure how many guys truly are out of eligibility after this year. Maybe these schools decide to go "all in" one more year. I will stick with my original statement that I think we see a huge roster turnover for those three teams after this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see, 27 man roster, but 23 skaters, down potentially 6, leaves 17. That's not a full (12F/6D) card. Awesome. Can Casey Johnson skate 4th line RW?

I honestly believe it's a matter of what they have in the pipeline, you don't want to push off opportunity for "average". Looking at us, we have seen a couple slip away based on choices "for right now" versus a year or two down the road. I commented on this before, the NCAA didn't do anyone any favors by bottling up talent and raising the dam levels. Put that together with the transfer portal and you have the perfect storm of "who's on first". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMD gave up a two goal lead to SCSU and dropped a point in the shoot-out Tuesday night. Must have been the coaching. Oh, it was Sandy, so it was obviously the goalie's fault. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfaninseattle Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 The computer picked best available for me too, but there was a "change" button.

Actually, if you hit the change button it asks you if you want to accept or release the tickets, then if you say release, it brings you back and you start all over and it just gives you the same seats unless someone else has taken them. I find it odd that you would put on your seating chart "The End UND Shoots Twice" when you can't change your preference to that end. I'm like you, got tickets, but really not happy at all about sitting at the opposite end that I want to sit. Some people do go for the game along with the other fanfare.
