Re: 2013-14 North Dakota Season thread

They fell to 10 in the Pairwise, so beating CC is very important to making the tournament. Winning the conference playoffs would be nice, but at least get there and win a game and they should be fine.

*Team's RPI has been adjusted to remove negative effect from defeating weak opponent.

Yes, this is a problem. UND beat CC 4-2 last night, and "fell" once again to 10T with Providence. A few other teams (e.g., Notre Dame) had "stronger" victories but still ... UND is not getting any love with the RPI adjustments. I've said it before, the Pairwise statistical system is faulty, always needing readjustments. I would like to see the statistics on how the RPI is adjusted from wins against "weak" opponents. Is CC considered weak, with a 6-22 or so record?

Good win tonight. Finish it Saturday.

Here is Jim Dahls' Pairwise predictor for the boys this weekend. Not quite win or go home, but pretty close.

If UND can't beat C.C. and advance to the NCHC tourney, I am not so sure they belong in the NCAA tourney. I think they advance.

WMU played pretty solid, and UND didn't cash in on its chances. The Penrose would have been nice but now it's time to go back to work. Time to put CC away and lock up that tournament birth.

Was surprised UND lost at home to WMU with so much on the line.

More on the line than on the ice. In early December, an NCAA berth seemed unlikely. You have to count your blessings sometimes.

Re: 2013-14 North Dakota Season thread

Considering where they were at the Christmas break, to come within a win of the regular season title says quite a bit about this team. Hopefully they can use this disappointment to springboard onto greater things in the playoffs.

Lets see, UND is tied with SCSU for first place and has a 15-3-2 run since a players only meeting. Hopefully, they bring home the Penrose this weekend.

I was at the St. Lawrence series. After the Friday game I didn't see them doing anything this year. The rest of the year has been a very pleasant surprise.

This thread has been really lame so far and I blame Rocco for bringing Jesus into the fraternal locker room order of poor drunken decisions.

Jesus still loves you.

Stop pimping your stories under the guise of Hak being funny!

Hak is funny... Or guess, there's times that he is...

Re: 2013-14 North Dakota Season thread

Or better yet, UND is 12-2-1 in the last 15 games and people think Hak should be fired and that UND is having a bad season. It makes no sense what-so-ever...

Just for the record, coach was pretty funny after the game on Saturday... Couple of quotes from him.Oshie's Play Inspires former Team
