AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 13 minutes ago, AJS said: Although UND did drop one spot to #22 in the Pairwise, their RPI is now at .5286 which is up from .5242 (following the Western series weekend). The GLI went exactly how we wanted it to go with Western not only winning it, but Michigan State losing both games (although one was in OT). UMass losing also would fall into the category of what we want to see. These next two weekend are so important. The NCHC needs to outperform what they've done in non-conference up to this point. It would also help for HE / the BIG to take a few hits. Today, hoping for LSSU over UMASS (15). Clarkson over Wisconsin (30). AIC over Cornell (18). Long Island over UConn (10). And a fight between a gopher commit on the ntdp and some of their freshmen for good measure. Michigan State and UMass could both potentially have the Wisconsin rule keep them out of the tournament, especially Sparty. Looking at their schedule, Wisconsin and Notre Dame are the only series' against teams that aren't top ten in PW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Blake Biondi out for the season. He came across as mature (maybe overconfident in his ability to make the NHL) in Hockeyland, sorry to see his career derailed after breaking out a bit last year.

So he had surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 UMD has played a lot of hockey the last few seasons. The wear totals up. Biondi might be a signal of what Duluth's slow start was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Compared to the average team it is 8 games: 4 conf tourney plus 4 NCAA. 8 games is about 25% of a regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Here's a guide to our rooting priorities, please correct me if wrong. Priority 1 is wins by NCHC teams we play 4 times, then NCHC teams we play twice 2 is non-con opponents winning; Quinny has more to lose than HC has to gain, so QU>HC 3 is teams ranked 10-20 losing 4 Atlantic/CCHA don't have teams ranked ahead of us, so their conferences over the others. Hockey East losing is most important 5 is teams that have NCHC non-con games winning 6 if nothing else, lower ranked teams winning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 A couple good (for UND) losses tonight. Anchorage beat UMass-Lowell. Penn St beat RIT. Still plenty of games ongoing with teams near UND in the PWR, but the results so far have moved UND to #19. Quite the move up without even playing a game.
