Judging by Facebook posts post-game, clearly RMU is Frozen Four bound this season based on how well they played North Dakota this weekend.

The green colored glasses are thick in that group

PWR is barely worth a glance until Mid January.

Nope not true. When you play non conference games early in the season the pairwise means a lot. As someone posted earlier, Schlossman’s article in March will read something like this “#17 North Dakota would be playing in Fargo this weekend had it not been for the Nov 22nd game against RMU”.

RMU was the best kept secret before they played UND.  I've got them penciled into Fargo as a 1 seed.

Yet we have the best facilities and all these advantages yet we are the same as RMU?

They are getting a new arena on campus. These games should have not been close. Next time same the money and go play an AHA team in their arena.

The games the entire season matter, but looking right now isn’t as important because there still need to be a few more weekends if hockey for relevance

Schmaltz is crushing it in faceoffs to start the year.

Quote

Schmaltz won the faceoff cleanly, sending the puck back to the corner to seal UND’s 1-0 win at Ralph Engelstad Arena.

The draw capped Schmaltz’s 13-2 night in the dot.

UND ended the night 29-10 in faceoffs.

Unfortunately the PK is still horrendous despite going 4 for 4 last night.

Quote

UND’s penalty kill went 4-for-4 in the win.

The Hawks are 51st in the country on penalty kill efficiency at 76.1%.

Can anyone explain why TJ has played a disproportionate amount of games compared to Hobie? Hobie will have to damn near string together multiple shut outs to get Berry’s attention. His infatuation with Portal players is crazy to watch year after year. 

Perhaps B-rad needs to keep the minutes up for the portal rental goalie to help get next year's portal goalie.  Those rental guys won't come here if they have to ride the pine.

Until you look back and realize an early-season loss to someplace like Canisius College or RIT cost you a spot in the tournament.  

No one is disputing that these games don’t matter. Every game matters all year long, maybe even more with non conference obviously. What some people are saying is that there haven’t been enough games played throughout the country for the pairwise rankings to be accurate yet. They are too volatile because more games need to be played amongst all teams and conferences. Give it about 3-4 more weeks and then it’ll be a more appropriate prediction.

Maybe the article will point out that had they lost to RMU in OT, or had it ended in a tie that Friday night in November, the team would have missed the field, but Perron’s goal changed that, and enabled the team to go on a Providence like run to title #9?

The thing is the team hasn’t played well enough to make anyone believe that they will go on a run. If they have a hard time winning out of conference games, what is going to make us as fans believe they will win conference games?

According to FB, RMU is a very good hockey team, and played as well as UND.  I swear the some of the people on that group wouldn't say a bad word about UND if ya paid them to

And if you say a bad word you get jumped in no time

They beat providence 5-2 and BU 7-3. They have potential, time will tell if they reach it

They were at home for those three games too.  Cornell on the road may have been a better indicator of how this season will eventually pan out.
