Kevin G Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 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)?

Popular Post petey23 Posted January 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2023 #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. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the stats…we have 2nd line players that get PP time that are putting up second pairing D numbers. Been tough sledding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to wave a flag around for the Big 10 but the Big 10 has been good for longer than people give it credit for. In 2018, 3 of the 4 teams at the frozen 4 were from the big 10. It just so happens that Duluth was the team that came away victorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time a B1G school won the tournament? (Well other than "never".) Ryan Duncan had been the Hobey Baker winner for a day. Michigan State, from the CCHA, 2007. Even a blind pig finds a cob of corn every now and then. But to your main point, they've done well. As a conference, they play the PWR game well, by scheduling a large percentage of nonconference cupcakes. Until the PWR fully reflects strength of schedule, that will continue.

For reasons I can't back up, except to say they are big schools with moneyed alumni, the advantage they have with collective money worries me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a conference, they play the PWR game well, by scheduling a large percentage of nonconference cupcakes. Until the PWR fully reflects strength of schedule, that will continue. That said, we need to take care of business as a league when we play them then. I do think our league will once again represent better next year. Omaha, St. Cloud, and Western all lost a ton of guys from last year, and Omaha and Western took a bit to get going, but now are playing well. UND's non conference record certainly hasn't helped the league that much, but had Omaha and Western not had to basically start from scratch that would have helped our league standing immensely. It just goes to show that those early games that don't seem like they will affect your season that much (Arizona State), can play a big part in the end. A game here and there flipped by each of us becomes huge in the grand scheme of things. I think of Denver getting swept by UMASS early, while outplaying them, as a huge factor in the Eastern teams pairwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
