Then the NCHC with 2, ECAC has like 1, Atlantic and CCHA just would get their auto bids. Yeah loaded up with HEA and B10 teams for sure. ECAC with only 1 but Harvard knocking at the door to join at #15. And then MTU is the top CCHA team at #16 currently. Still a lot of season to go but hopefully UND can get in there and join the NCHC teams and maybe some of the HEA and B10 teams will fall off as they play each other more.

I think there’s a good chance at least some of those HEA teams in particular fall off since there is a few close to the bubble. Also WTF kind of world are we living in where MERRIMACK is a top 4 team in the PWR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked out their schedule earlier. They're 13-4, but of those 17 games, only 3 (2x UConn and 1x Prov) have been played against teams that are more than one game above .500. Their SOS is pretty weak and they only have a few more games left against teams over .500 as well. Unless they seriously tank, they'll make the NCAA's, but they sure won't be battle tested when they get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 NCHC standings now have UND ahead of Miami by 5 points. But only one point behind WMU and UMD. Three points behind UNO. Five points behind CC. That next NCHC series against WMU at REA could be a big swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godsmack Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 So after the CC/Omaha game ended (and in dramatic fashion with CC goalie Mbereko making several grade A saves) the two teams lined up for the handshake line. Curiously, Gabinet made a bee line across the ice to the locker rooms with his assistants close behind. Meanwhile, the CC coaches got in line and shook hands with the Omaha players. Don’t want to jump to conclusions but does that sound odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that that happened after year 1 for him. Honestly don’t blame the guy based on the scuttlebutt. Some things run deep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a CC fan, I don’t 100% trust Mannino given his history. I’m sure his stop at CC is just a stepping stone to something better, at least that’s the impression I have of him. He seems to change teams more frequently than most people change their socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if I don’t recall, Mannino took the playbook, 3 recruits ( including Dashke) and lets a bunch of recruits hang with no communication. Left in the dark of night too. Slimy… Of course Gabinet was going into his second or third year and he must have really taken it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could’ve even gotten in a dig at Mannino as they crossed paths!) lol. Oh well, no matter. I’m speculating; there could be a million and one reasons why he didn’t shake the players’ hands I guess. Maybe he’s a germaphobe and doesn’t like shaking hands with a bunch of sweaty, nasty mits after having been in those gloves! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Schlossman said that Brendan Bushy is suspended for contact to the head in the last game versus Miami, and that he gets to serve the suspension during their exhibition game. Now the question will be, is this the new precedent, or will they find a way to delve out punishment differently in other incidents? Who is involved in the supplemental discipline anyway. Will look pretty bad if they differ in punishment, what with the Commissioner being the former Athletic Director at St. Cloud State. Of course we saw how that works with Cooper Moore being suspended for a similar hit as Savoie, yet he didn't have supplemental discipline even though it was near the end of the game.
