NCHC Battle for 1st - DU @ UND

[brianvf]

Huge weekend.
1st vs 2nd in the NCHC.
NPI 2nd vs 11th

UND just took 4 of 6 points on the road at CC.
DU just got throttled by WMU at home and are now winless in their last 5 games.

DU is gonna come in hungry for any NCHC points.  They are led in points by two JR dmen (not often that you see that) Pohlkamp and Buckberger.

Hopefully UND can take care of business at home and send DU back home to Denver with their winless streak intact.

I suspect DU will be of sour disposition.

This can seem like I'm getting ahead of myself, but IMO, there's an extra level of importance, given that Denver hosts a regional. Felt like this when they played Omaha as well. UND can do their part in making Denver start to feel a bit uncomfortable with their NPI with a couple of good results this weekend.

Miller looked a bit off this past weekend against WMU. He may be coming back down to earth a bit after his hot start. Need to come out flying and get plenty of rubber on him in the first 10 minutes.

 

Think this team is going to be amped up to play a top tier opponent at home.

Nope, UNO is hosting the regional. UND is hosting the Frozen Four in Vegas.

All that matters is that Sioux Falls is a great location for our fans.

Definitely. UNO looks like a very long shot for the tourney, so we'll have a chance to take that place over if we get sent there.

Probably getting ahead of ourselves. Curb the enthusiasm and take car of business. DU will be like wounded animals.
