UND @ BU - Sat Game

[Godsmack]

So I’m at the CC/DU game watching the Pios have their way with the Tigers so I couldn’t watch the UND game. Can anyone give me a cliffs notes version summary of how the game went down?

Is a non conference road tie close to a win in the pairwise?

Home/Road weighting: For purposes of calculating a final RPI, games are weighted based upon whether they are home or road games. Road wins and home losses are weighted by a factor of 1.2, while home wins and road losses are weighted by 0.8. 
 

FWIW: RPI is by far the main driver of the Pairwise.

Better team won

Hutson is really good

UND plays 18 minute periods

Officiating was severely slanted

Perron's best game to date

Strinden just make plays

It is not a win in the traditional sense. A regulation win would have been much more helpful in the Pairwise.  You get credit for 2/3 win and 1/3 loss. 

You're missing the point.... records against common opponents, head-to-head competition, and the RPI. If this ot win goes down in the win column then yes it helps. Yes it's not a full win for RPI but all those 3 things are used to determine which teams win the comparison against each other.

And yet, you all overlook the factor of which team has the better jerseys.  On the road.   Against NC opponents.

I understand your point but It is almost meaningless in the big picture. Not completely but pretty close. The difference between a regulation win and an OT win is far greater than any minimum benefit from counting the OT win as a win on your record. Usually the Pairwise mimics the RPI with some minor flipping because of head to head. 

I find it hard to get too excited about the OT win when we should have won in regulation. It is better than losing in OT.

Adidas is no longer making hockey jerseys so maybe we gonna get some fancy new ones for next season.

Please let me know if you find a clip of the OT winner with Tim's broadcast.

Good result for a good effort.  Still coughing up the puck in our own zone too much, but the support to move the puck up ice was solid tonight.  

BU is as-advertised.  Highly skilled upfront, but they aren't exactly great defensively.  Their GT had a big weekend.

Until the very last play, I was thinking "Blake has sure been quiet".

Did you miss his gorgeous pass to O Mac??

The announcers didn't really have much to say after that goal. 

[SiouxFan100]

I was in the concourse when we scored the ot goal. The cheering was so loud I thought bu had scored. Rushed over to see our team celebrating.

lots of compliments about our.team and fans

pretty neat experience

Quote

Jackson Blake had the puck on his stick in overtime.

The UND sophomore forward skated up the right side, and decided to make a move.

"I just saw they had a guy flat-footed," Blake said. "I knew he was a forward. I figured I could try to beat him one-on-one."

How'd he know the defending player was a forward?

"I usually can tell on those," Blake said. "I saw it was number 11. I knew he was a forward."

Blake attacked Boston University forward Luke Tuch, danced around him, cut across the crease and flipped a backhand past goalie Mathieu Caron to give UND a 5-4 win in a wild, back-and-forth game in Agganis Arena.

Quote

UND coach Brad Berry shuffled the lines for the series finale, putting Blake with Owen McLaughlin and captain Riese Gaber — a combination the Fighting Hawks used at times last season.

That unit clicked. Blake finished with a goal and three points. McLaughlin also had a goal and three points. Gaber scored and added an assist. Ben Strinden and Jayden Perron also scored for the Fighting Hawks.

Quote

UND finished its first stretch of nonconference play with a 5-2-1, including three wins over top-10 teams — Wisconsin, Minnesota and Boston University.

"You want to win them all, but in this day and age, there's so much parity in college hockey," Berry said. "When you play nonconference games against a team like this, in a building like this, to come out with a split is productive for us."

Well .67 or whatever- this was a win! On the road. Vs a good pairwise opponent. Never lost lead  in the game. Growth as a team. Confidence in each other and coaches. Against poor refs. 
This was a mega success all in all.

Wish I could have been there but watched on ESPN+.

 

I think we watched this years Hobie this weekend between Lane H and Blake. 

 

If Lane or Macklin get injured BU season is over, they each must have had 30+ minutes ice time, don’t think Lane came off during the 5 minute penalty. 

[SuhakiYeahYeah]

Decided to sneak into Agganis this morning. I found the refs STILL on the ice trying to give BU a powerplay after that OT goal.

Hutson might be the most dynamic player I’ve seen play college puck in a bit. And there have been some good ones lately. Celebrini obviously the real deal too. He’ll go 1.

In his podcast, Schlossman mentioned Lane Hutson's incredible TOI stats. He's smallish but boy can he play hockey.

I don't think UND hit him enough, granted with the way the game was being called UND completely shied away from the physical play or they would have been playing 5x3 all night.

How'd they get the FB officials crew from Kentucky (Murray State) to Bah-stan and on the Agganis ice so quickly?

Looks like it actually counts as 2/3 of a win.

That’s what I thought. Believe heard that last season when topic came up.
