They also have balanced scoring. 

Yes, this is definitely not the Miami of the last 5 years or so...they seem to have grit.

Any word out there on 17?

You’d think there would have been something if there was a bad MRI result.

Guessing we’ll hear more during the Wednesday presser. Hopefully good news.

Unofficial update on Reschny as of about an hour ago

Yeah; even keeping him out for one series would be good news

Also did not see much of 4 at the end of the game on Saturday. Have not heard any status question mark, though.

Why bring up the turd that has been flushed? Find somewhere else to re-live bad memories.

Probably because so many people who wanted Berry gone were called very mean things and many claimed nothing was wrong with the program.  And now that the program exceedingly passes the eye test under new leadership, you can no longer even bring up the subject of past coaching anymore.

Think winning 3 of next 4 and splitting at Western will maintain 3 seed going into conf. tourney?

FYP.

These next four games are at home and absolutely must result in regulation wins. Splitting at Western would be great as well.

College Hockey News has a "customizer" function to their NPI data that allows you to go in and either change the outcome of any particular game or games, or plug in the outcomes of future games, and then see the effect on the NPI.  I think what this feature does when you plug in outcomes for future games is figure that all of the rest of the future college hockey games will have a result that is the most likely result of that game, maybe based upon KRACH or something else, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

In any event, it's a fun feature to fool around with if you're bored.

Using that feature, it suggests that if UND were to win 3 of 4 against SCSU and Miami, and split with WMU, we'd stay in the three spot, most likely.  It doesn't appear to matter whether our loss is to Miami or SCSU, which sort of makes sense given both series are at home and the two teams are in a generally similar spot in the rankings.

I think Miami keeps one game close, not going to be easy like they have been the last few years. 

Easy? Maybe for everyone else, but not for us recently. Last year, it took three 3rd period goals to beat them, including two goals in the last 1:30 of the game. This year's UND team is definitely not last years however, hahaha.

True, but Miami is much better this year as well.

This is also true. I was only replying to the notion that Miami was an easy win for UND over the past few years, which has not been the case.
