On a marginally related matter:   Jandric has really been good this year. 

But he still has a propensity for the backhand blind pass to an area. Did it twice Saturday. Could've eaten it each time. 

Glass and boards were invented for a reason. Use them.

Dillon Simpson would be a great coach. Sucks his career here ended the way it did, but he captained a team that made a major turn around despite hiccups and always sounded like a coach in interviews. 

If we're speculating future coaches when we have no idea if they're even interested in coaching ... 

After a Covid season at UND, then a year and a half in the A, followed by 282 games in the NHL, and another season in the A before moving to coaching ... Ethan Frisch looks good in a suit behind the bench I'd guess.

And for just the 2nd time in 24 years UND will not be hosting the first round in the playoffs. Hopefully that doesn't sit well with the coaches and the boys and gets them fired up to redeem themselves for that rather embarrassing stat. 

 

I know that was the stat displayed inside the arena on Saturday night, but it's actually the 2nd time in 21 years (or the 3rd time in 28 years)...

 

March 8-9, 2002 at Minnesota (2-7 L, 3-4 OTL)

March 15-16, 2019 at Denver (0-2 L, 2-4 L)

 

Prior to 2002, the last time UND was on the road for the first round of the conference playoffs was in 1995. The last time UND had home ice and did not advance to the league semifinals was in 1996.

 

That means that from 1997-2022, North Dakota hosted the first round 22 times and advanced 22 times. During that stretch, UND went on the road twice and got swept twice, missing the WCHA Final Five in 2002 and the NCHC Frozen Faceoff in 2019. (There was no NCHC tourney in 2020, and the format was modified in 2021.)

Thanks for this, Dave. Facts are rather helpful to my brain-fogged memory hole. Seriously.

So we are on the road this coming weekend...history does not look favorably on Sioux advancing to St Paul.  Is UNO getting some guys back that did not play in Grand Forks last weekend?

I feel like the more current history, UND winning the season series 3-0-1 over Omaha, matters more. But frankly, none of that matters! All comes down who plays better this weekend.

Our guys aware of the OT rules now that we're in the playoffs?  Hoping they're not waiting for the shootout.

I'm thinking 0.920 for a best 2 of 3 UND series win.

If UND sweeps it's more like 0.940. 

UND needs at least the 'tending it's been getting since @DU.

Omaha is averaging 31.5 shots a game. Rounding up to 32, DeRidder would need to stop 30 of 32 to be 0.9375. 

Works for me.

So you're thinking 3 goals gets the W.  Need that power play to be firing!

No, I'm saying if they hit their average and DeRidder is 94%, we'll need 3 goals.

Who are the scheduled referees?

Speaking of which, it seems like the PP has been struggling since the break between Miami and Denver. So here's how the PP has done since then (i.e., the last eight games):

• 2/10 at DU: 2/9
• 2/11 at DU: 0/6
• 2/17 vs SCSU: 2/4
• 2/18 vs SCSU: 1/3
• 2/24 at CC: 0/4
• 2/25 at CC: 0/4
• 3/3 vs UNO: 1/4
• 3/4 vs UNO: 0/3
• TOTAL: 6/37=16.2% over the past eight games

How many losses during those last 8 games.  Wonder if there is a correlation.  Could physical or mental exertions change with lack of power play success or lack of success.
