The UND Discussion Thread - We Miss Chay

Re: The UND Discussion Thread - We Miss Chay

This particular Yale team does present some problems for UND. Apparently their Powerplay is deadly and they are extremely fast and get a lot of chances.

I agree.
This is a game that could turn into a shootout.

Yale has some offensive talent and a good PP, as does UND. I think where the difference lies is with the defense/goalie. Yale doesn't have a goalie with near the stats that Eidsness does (and Eidsness faced tougher competition all season), and their defense ranks low nationally. If UND can stay out of the box and cycle/play puck possession like they did during the F5, I like their chances.

If not, it could turn into a 8-5 type game like the Michigan/UND 1st round game from a few years ago.

I totally forgot about that game. That was a fun one to watch.

So the Sioux win 3 in a row, Denver loses 2, Wisconsin loses 1, UND wins WCHA. Why aren't the Sioux a #1 seed?

Because seeding isn't based on three games, but rather the whole season.

Here is your answer.

It's that most wonderful time of year when people who pay almost no attention to college hockey start showing up for the NCAA playoffs.

Well, that hardly seems fair!

I agree. Conference results should also play a role in where a team is seeded in the NCAA tournament.

And why does UND always have to play one of those blasted Boston teams?

I know! It's like the NCAA doesn't even know they exist!!!

Because Barry Melrose says so.

This was also the same team that was knocked out the ECAC tourney by Brown who sucks (13-20-4) and finished in 11th in the EZAC.

again, work calls, it sucks. gotta work a crappy shift and then miss the Sioux game Saturday.

My only hope is that I won't work Sunday and will be able to watch the game when the Sioux beat Yale.

I have softball.

You just described 99.99999% of your local fan base.

Weekend of the West Reg. at the REA (we won't talk about the outcome) I stop at Super Pumper on 32ave and a dude walks in w/ the most obnoxious leather letterman's style Sioux Hockey jacket on and I said "Michigan bring enough to give you a game tonight???"

Super fan looks me dead in the eye and says "WHAT GAME???"......I just looked at him and said "Sir, you just made my day" and laughed as I walked out.

True story...

Grand Forks has around 50k people.
Almost every Sioux home game has about 11k Sioux fans show up.

Your math doesn't add up.

One of you got it, one of you didn't.

Hilarious.

Seems logical to assume because one guy in a jacket didn't know that 99.9999% is the number who pay zero attention.

(Did I include enough 9's in that percentage )
