Aren't you the chief goon on that broomball team of yours?  You should get a regular shift.;)

Just noticed this: In 27 games this season, UND has allowed 81 goals.

In 44 games, the 2015-16 championship team allowed a total of...81 goals.

A few more observations:

  • Four strong defensive games in a row have lifted UND out of last place in SV%. We're now 59th, ahead of RPI and Air Force and right behind Miami. 
  • UND leads the nation in PP% at 31.9%.
  • UND is second in the nation in shooting % at 12.3%.
  • UND is 15th in the nation and first in the NCHC in PK% at 83.5%.
  • UND trails every BIG10 team in the Pairwise except Wisconsin.

Starting to seem like there’s no difference in the record needed to get back in at large conversation as there is to secure home ice. 6-2 to finish.

Here’s my question. Who are we cheering for next weekend? Do we want the teams close to UND in the standings to keep winning (ex: Duluth > Western)?

#20 in the pairwise.

Looking at the teams ahead of us and the comparisons we need to flip.

The comparisons with Northeastern, Sparty, and UConn will likely all flip in our favor as we have the common opponent comparison and our RPI should surpass them just based on who we play and who they play.

We can't flip the common opponent comparison with RIT but again we should just naturally pass them in RPi just based on schedule remaining.

UNO is totally in our hands to flip.

Notre Dame, we have the common opponent comparison and the RPI will come down to winning and losing as schedules are comparable.

We are losing the common opponent comparison with Tech and Mankato but Mankato is flippable with a sweep against SCSU. RPI might be a little tougher as they both play mostly top half of the CCHA to finish the regular season....losses by them would help.

Cornell could also be flipped as we have the common opponent comparison and their schedule to finish is not strong and if you mix in a bad loss we could overtake them there as well.

All this said we probably need to sweep CC and UNO and split with Denver and SCSU to give ourselves any shot of an at large bid.

We need some secondary scoring more than anything. Look at the stats…we have 2nd line players that get PP time that are putting up second pairing D numbers. Been tough sledding.

Yeah look at the stats....Gaber and Blake have combined for two goals at even strength in the last 10 games.

Would say more than anything we need to keep the puck out of our net.  We need to be better five on five, but the goals per game is enough to win a lot if we tighten up defensively and in goal.

Hikes, that’s not good.  5 on 5 we struggle. Smart teams playing us will stay out of the penalty box to keep us off the pp.

That's a great breakdown. I'd say accurate... probable?..  hope so...

And people forget that one Matt Hrynkiw played in 14 games that season for that team.  A true testament to that team.

That team defended the neutral zone harder than the current team defends it's own end.

That PP% is sick.  

The B1G is finally legitimately very good this year.
