Looks like we need to exploit this big time.

I neglected to include our PP% over the last 10 games (it's...not good). I suspect that the boys are working on some new PP looks this week. The PP worked until teams adjusted (especially to Gaber); now it's time to adjust to our opponents' adjustments. Thankfully UND has some excellent PP personnel.

Yah, they love their home big ice advantage.  Accounting for their 20 home games on big ice and 1 away game at Minn also on big ice, where we’re the other 2 games on big ice played at?  I did see in the last half of the season (last 18 games) Clown is just 7 - 8 - 3 despite a majority of those games having been played at home so they’re not exactly on a roll right now.

Star Tribune posted in their preview that they went 2-6-3 to close the regular season so of those 7 wins, it appears most were probably in January.

I believe Wisconsin still plays on a glacier.

Well, I be damned. Attended 4 games at Wisco over past several seasons but did not realize their ice was non-NHL regulation size. 

Corners at the Kohl Center are proportioned similarly to regulation-sized rinks.   But Mariucci's distinctive square corners are part of why it looks so large.

I don’t remember much from statistics class but I would say this is statistically significant. St Clouds wins are heavily weighted towards playing on the big ice surface.

There's a compounding factor in "ice surface" namely playing at home (no matter the ice size). 

I think it's safer to say they look like a 0.500 team away from home. Even if you add two big ice road wins at UW they're 8-7-1 away from The Herb.

3M up for overhaul after tonight.  Narrowing it up to between 88 - 92.

@Clark17, is there a reason they're not just going with a regulation 85' rink width? (It seems weird that universities can just pick an arbitrary width, like Wisco's 97'.)

I would assume that, in both cases, they are fitting their design into existing constraints.  The Kohl Center is not just a hockey facility.  For Mariucci, it is purely a hockey facility, but they're modifying from an existing footprint.  Have to take into consideration seating, sightlines, etc.  I'm guessing the NCAA has a standard that a hockey ice sheet must conform to with certain dimensions being flexible within a range (like width) and others fixed (like goal crease, etc).
