I'll hang up and listen. Analytically WMU won that game 11-3 if xG counts for anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hang up and listen. Starman stated it well. Western throws a lot of shots at the goal but few are grade A chances. Sioux shots are quality shots from close in between the dots, the kind that result in goals. Sioux also have more snipers than Western. Western seems to rely on greasy goals and rebounds - that’s their style of offense. Persson wasn’t tested to the degree the number of SOG’s might suggest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even another loss tonight they’ll be better than 50% odds to get in. They stand at 74% probability now. They play Miami next week, then I assume they would probably need to win their first round playoff series, which could be against another NCAA bubble team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we would be that relentless on a more consistent basis. I was surprised how many 50/50 puck battles we lost last night. Need to turn that around tonight to get at least a share of the title.

TwamleyShuffle Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I like how most of the folks on here generally agree with me that UND needs a better effort in game two. Makes me feel I’m not being too critical lol. Hope they come out and play like the did when they locked down DU to give the team momentum for the last part of season. Not going to predict the score but will predict to see the NODAK jerseys on senior night for whatever it’s worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, the only time a jersey pop is acceptable is after scoring in Mariucci just to mock the Goofs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, we better match their intensity tonight if we want the sweep and obligatory TCoS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
