petey23 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Lots can change obviously but the current NCAA scenario would have us playing in Springfield, Mass. against UMass in first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvHockey Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 What an incredible 3 weeks this has been for UND hockey. But after yesterday- it shows the next few weeks won’t be a cakewalk. But it is now UND in drivers seat and have to lose this Penrose themselves now. It’s up to them to keep this train running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Maine makes it through the next stretch of opponents still a #1 seed, they've earned it. All three are borderline tournament teams pretty much in playoff mode.

They still have two games left against BC, two against UNH, and two against Maine. I wouldn't be shocked to see them fall out of the tourney unless they can pick up a few wins against those teams.

Their fans that I talk to have indicated they don’t do well against really aggressive teams, and seem to think they might be in some trouble.

farce poobah Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 1 hour ago, Sweethockey said: What are the odds that St. Clown picks up 6 next weekend in Oxford? Well, the KRACH rating for both teams, accumulated over the full season so far, implies 80% chance of SCSU beating Miami. So by that measure, a sweep is 64% (80x80). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 UND falls to #3 in the PWR with the BU win over BC in the Beanpot. The RPI is so close with those top three teams (BC - .6171, BU - .6108, UND - .6102). #4 PWR Maine RPI goes down to .5962 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I would like more distance between UND and #4-8. Too easy for the rankings to change quickly.

brianvf Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-using-bye-week-to-regain-health Albrecht returned to practice this week, so is looking good for return against CC. Johannes hasn't returned to practice yet. Quote The senior forward has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury. "He looked good out there," Berry said. "He's trending in the right direction (to play against Colorado College)." Johannes has not yet returned to practice. The fifth-year senior, who has been playing left wing on UND's top line, has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury. "We'll see if we can get him out on the ice (next week) and go from there," Berry said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Fair to say if UND stays as the #1 or #2 overall with BC being 1 and Omaha doesn’t make the tourney, they’ll be in Sioux Falls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RedFrog Posted February 11 Popular Post Share Posted February 11 Thinking of the upcoming series at CC and think we are going to need to bring our best. CC is playing well and is on the wrong side of the bubble. This weekend should be a playoff style of game and I'm eager to see how the boys come out of the bye week. Have to admit I miss Johannes in the lineup, even though everyone who has stepped in has played well. I feel he is a heart-and-soul type of player for this team. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I agree on Johannes. I realize there are different opinions on this, but I like him with Berg and Gaber, as he creates space. I also think the bottom lines haven't been as good as they were earlier, with the shuffling of 18 and 29 up the lineup. They're good and will probably be mainstays higher up next year, but for now they make the lower lines more dangerous and there's no one I want to pull out of the top six. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
