    Huskies drop Game 2 to Miami, 3-2. It's not the end of the world, but we can't afford to lose games like this come tournament time.

        We won't be playing teams like Miami in the tourney...those teams will be way better.

        Can't win them all. Personally I think UND is going to win the NCHC regular season (easier schedule). But that's not the trophy I care about.

          I only saw a few minutes of this game tonight, but our guys can't let other teams out skate them. They're supposed to be fast and on the puck, but Miami kept beating them to the open pucks when I was watching the game. It's like they just expected to walk into the arena and be handed the W. Play like that just can't happen anymore this season. Every win and loss works towards their placement in the NCAA tournament, so a night off could mean a tougher tournament position.

            This. Spot on.

            Hopefully Denver can split with UND this weekend at home and keep the title race close. Splits for SCSU vs. UNO and UMD and a sweep of CC would likely keep them ahead of UND in PWR going into the conference tourney. Then if they meet there, a win would be needed to keep the comparison positive against them to lock down the #2 overall seed and get them a spot in St. Paul instead of Cinci.

            Could be wrong on the affect on RPI of splits with UNO and UMD but don't think so. And anything but a sweep of CC would be very very bad. Nothing is a given in the NCHC but hope the Huskies can at least do what I've laid out above.

              Even with a better PWR, we could still end up in Cincinnati because the NCAA will take into account better box office receipts if UND is #3 overall. Their fans travel better than ours do to St. Paul.

                Yeah, you're right. Wishful thinking they keep us "at home" I guess. I'd for sure make the trip to the X but less certain I'd roll down to Cinci.

                  I'd really like to see more consistent effort. We've been good enough to get away with it a few times this year, but it won't fly in the tournament. We've also given 3+ goals more often then I'm comfortable with lately.

                    The part I don't understand is how they acknowledged they got outplayed the night before, and then came out and got beat again. I didn't watch the Saturday game, so I can't comment on how they looked, but I would think that with a bye week coming they would at least come out with a ton of energy on Saturday, especially since they didn't look like they expended much on Friday. Loss really puts us behind the 8 ball if we still want the conference title.

                      On the other hand, North Dakota fans will also travel better to Cinci - and that difference is probably magnified for the Cinci trip. Given that scenario, I think the NCAA would come out ahead when adding together both venues by sending North Dakota to Cinci and St Cloud to St Paul.

                        SCSU fans will nit fill the X. Not even close. I would think they would rather have one good regional attendance than none between St. Paul and Cincinnati.

                          UND played in the Midwest Regional in Cincinnati in the 2013-2014 season. Attendance was pretty bad from what I remember. College Hockey Stats lists the attendance as 5,320(UND vs. Wisconsin) and 5,721(UND vs. Ferris State). UND would get a lot more people to attend by playing in St. Paul.

                            I don't think they would move a team that is a higher seed and geographically closer to St. Paul to Cincinatti. And for as long as I have been looking at the bracketology articles, I don't think they have ever moved a team that was in the top band.

                              I am not saying they will, I am just saying I fear they might. Its an unusual situation that SCSU is much closer to the X than UND but UND would get way more fans there

                                My gut feeling is they'll put the higher seed of the two in STP.
