1972 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Man, couldn't have asked for a much better weekend. Now finish strong next weekend and get ready to try and do something special. Was so awesome to see Ludvig hoist that cup....well deserved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 So on the topic of #2 vs #3 overall seed, are people excited about potentially getting to #2 so the first game is a much lower pairwise opponent? Right now, St. Cloud State is #14, but with them a NCHC team, would the committee flip to #13 Michigan?? it would be the difference between playing one of them and RIT (#22). I was initially pretty indifferent about being #3 vs #2 but I can see a clear advantage to being #2 so count me in on wanting that as well. One downside of Denver sweeping SCSU which allowed us to win the Cup, is that Denver is now top 4 pairwise right behind UND. I could see them sneaking ahead of us before selection Sunday with all the games yet to be played. In that case, would they steal our spot in Sioux Falls?? Denver is 2 hours closer to SF than Maryland Heights, but still a long ways. I would hope the committee would honor the attendance potential of UND in Sioux falls.

I am definitely hoping we can jump BU to get the 2 seed. There are no guaranteed wins but a regional semifinal against either the Atlantic or CCHA auto-bid would be ideal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could have changed but I believe in the past the committee takes the approach that “a flight is a flight”. So because DU would have to get on a plane it doesn’t matter that SF is closer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which tells you gfhockey isn’t really a fan but a message board antagonist. Most fans would revel in the joy that guys like Gaber and Ness exhibited, even if it could be fleeting with a loss down the road. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver is a full >.01 behind us, that's a lot of ground to make up this late in the season. Fluctuation is at most .005 per game, and that's bad losses/upset wins. It's possible, but we would need to faceplant. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rationale was that we will play Miami for (hopefully) 2 games. No pairwise gained there. Then we could end playing Denver in the NCHC finals or semifinals, which could be a loss.

Dustin Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 13 hours ago, Oldguy said: Happy to eat a little crow here. After the Saturday loss at CC, I said "this is not a special team." While that was in a game day thread, which I always maintain is reserved and should be understood to be for single day reactions (not higher level discussions), I would have to say that yes, they did look special tonight. Congrats on winning the Penne, and for crying out loud dont' stop at this! It may turn out that getting swept at CC is exactly what this team needed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I believe Minnesota was the driving force behind that. I guess some things truly never change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted March 3 Popular Post Share Posted March 3 Kudos to Berry for starting the 4 recognized seniors. Been to meaningless HS games where dumba$$ HS coaches don't even have enough class to start the seniors on senior night. 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
