sprig Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Given the Sioux have played more games than anyone else in the WCHA, their current second place in the standings is misleading. Probably time to check out the whatif and post here: WCHA Final Team GP Pts UMN 28 44 CC 28 42 Denver 28 40 UW 28 38 UND 28 37 UMD 28 30 Mankato 28 15 SCSU 28 14 AA 28 14 MTech 28 6 Yes, I think we'll see UMD again in the REA.

jloos Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 UMN 28 44 CC 28 40 UND 28 39 Denver 28 39 UW 28 33 UMD 28 31 SCSU 28 17 Mankato 28 16 AA 28 15 MTech 28 6 For some reason I see WI choking. I think Duluth will start to turn things around, and beat WI to get into the final 5. UND will get the tie-breaker over Denver (after a sweep at the REA). Quote
DMT Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 UMN 28 44 CC 28 40 Denver 28 38 UND 28 37 UW 28 36 UMD 28 29 SCSU 28 19 Mankato 28 17 AA 28 16 MTech 28 4 While doing my picks, I was pretty conservative with the Sioux. I was suprised that they were still in 4th when it was totaled up. Quote
dagies Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 UMN 28 42 CC 28 41 Denver 28 38 UW 28 36 UND 28 35 UMD 28 30 SCSU 28 19 Mankato 28 17 AA 28 17 MTech 28 5 I thought I was pretty conservative with the Sioux as well, and here they make 5th, almost 4th. In my mind if we really put together a great second half we have a chance for 3rd, and a decent shot at 4th. How about 3rd, guys? Quote
Goon Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 UMN 28 42 CC 28 40 UND 28 39 UW 28 35 Denver 28 34 UMD 28 33 AA 28 21 Mankato 28 16 SCSU 28 16 MTech 28 4 Its obvious that UofMN has a easy schedule. Let them win the McNaughten Anchor. I think UND finishes 3rd or 4th. All bottom 4 teams suck so they would be ok. Quote
airmail Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Surprisingly, I found myself picking lots of "2"s for the good guys. That said, I came up with the same result... probably 4th or 5th. Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 CC 28 45 UMN 28 43 Denver 28 38 UND 28 35 UW 28 35 UMD 28 30 Mankato 28 18 SCSU 28 17 AA 28 15 MTech 28 4 Even with Minnesota's incredibly easy remaining schedule, I think CC might be the team to beat. They have the goaltending, some real talent up front and solid depth. Quote
cfm567b27 Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 No big shake - it isn't the McNaughton that UND is after anyway - we have plenty of them...Err and plenty of NC's too I guess... Quote
Poncho & Lefty Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 UMN 28 46 CC 28 42 Denver 28 37 UND 28 35 UW 28 32 UMD 28 27 SCSU 28 26 Mankato 28 17 AA 28 16 MTech 28 2 Seems like we got a fun little thing going over here, I feel like Miss Kleo with all this going on haha am i right fellaz? I see Wisconsin pi$$in this one right down there leg but still holding off the dogs for 5th. Very unrealistic for UND to run the table so i got them sitting in 4th. Hopefully they can though eh?

Marty Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 CC and the Gophers are going to runaway with the WCHA. It's only a matter of who can get the most sweeps. They both have paddycake schedules for the rest of the season. UND will end up somewhere in the middle of the pack and will have a tough time getting out of the first round. It's going to be a sad year in the WCHA for us Sioux fans. Now as for the NCAA tournament I predict that the Sioux will pull a Denver and surprise everyone. Quote
Stack Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Here's mine. I thought I was very realistic but if we can pull off a couple of sweeps like with Denver and Wisconsin at home we could finish as high as third. UMN 28 42 CC 28 38 UW 28 36 Denver 28 36 UND 28 35 UMD 28 32 SCSU 28 22 Mankato 28 19 AA 28 16 MTech 28 4 All I know is this unbalanced schedule sucks. Look at the bottom 4 teams according to me. Minnesota plays 2 series with all 4 teams. They play one series with Denver, Colorado College, North Dakota, and Duluth. I can only hope playing the lower tiered teams hurt them in PWR but probably not that much because their record will be so good. CC has a tough schedule so I'd be surprised if they passed Minnesota. Here's to hoping we get a little luck the second half and Denver and Wisconsin don't. Quote

Here are my picks. I am not sure why none of you have come up with the Fighting Sioux retaining the Cup. Seems pretty elementary to me. We shall see. We shall see. Quote

DMT Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Time to bring it back: CC 28 44 UMN 28 42 UW 28 38 UND 28 35 Denver 28 35 UMD 28 26 Mankato 28 18 SCSU 28 18 AA 28 17 MTech 28 7 I was pretty bold in predicting a sweep over Denver. Quote
Stack Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I've got us splitting every series the rest of the way: CC 44 UMN 40 UW 38 Denver 37 UND 29 UMD 26 AA 21 SCSU 20 Mankato 19 MTech 6 If this is what happens we would still get home ice for the playoffs but would play a dangerous Duluth team.

airmail Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Picking a few different scenarios, I keep getting us playing Duluth at home. Is this good, bad, or scary as hell? Quote
sprig Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 Picking a few different scenarios, I keep getting us playing Duluth at home. Is this good, bad, or scary as hell? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Beats playing Duluth at Duluth. One or the other appears inevitable. Scary in that the Sioux may have to win and play more than 1 in the final 5 to make the NCAA's. Would appear, right now, Duluth would have to win the final 5 to make it. Fortunately there are a few games left to be played. Quote
