Minnesota State 2021-22 Meet the new conference- same as the old conference

That was a very skilled Harvard team. We showed some grit, but have some things to clean up before Saturday. Survive and advance!

Big day today! Let’s avoid turning the puck over so much, and let’s hope Nathan Smith brings it — he wasn’t very good on Thursday.

Big day for the program, a win would be another massive step forward. One at a time!

Let’s GO MAVERICKS!!!

I've just now stopped holding my breath. Well, Smith got the only goal of the game for you. Next up: winner of the Gophers and Broncos game.

And I'll add that McKay earned his full scholarship tonight. I got beat up on another thread giving legitimate reasons why McKay should win the Richter. Tonight (although I don't think tonight factors into the decision) proved he should win it.

It doesn't and he shouldn't

100%

He all but wins it by default now that your Eastern golden boys have taken themselves out of the running. Levi singlehandedly gave WMU their first win ever in a tournament, and Perets is showing his numbers are strictly because he plays in a sh** conference.

The voting was last Monday, hence the, "it doesn't," part of my comment

It’s comical there are people out there who don’t think Dryden McKay is the best goaltender in NCAA hockey, but I digress. We’ll just enjoy the Frozen Four trip and hope we can take the next step as a program with a win over the rodents.

Amazing to think this program is going back to its second straight Frozen Four. An incredible investment into the program and a home run hire of Mike Hastings allowed this program to become one of the nation’s best. Now it’s time to take the next step.

See you guys in Boston!

It's comical that you think having 200+ fewer saves & at the same time, a worse save% makes said goalie "the best"

So..... looking back at the records/schedule of the final 4 teams:

In January - March (excluding the NCAA tournament) - here are the records for each team:
UofMinn: 15-4
Michigan: 15-3
Denver: 15-4-1
Minnesota State: 18-1

Looking a little further back, The mavericks were an astonishing 25-1 since November 27th. All of those games were vs CCHA except 4 (duluth and AZ St) and the mavs were 4-0 in those games.
This is an unreal streak. Our record is impressive, but even more impressive if you look at the recent months.

This is the correct take. And I am not even ranking guys here because I haven't seen enough of the finalists. But the numbers do not add up to McKay being clear favorite.

The BG nation is glad we could help :-/

So who has the better save% matters this year, but didn't matter in 2020, when McKay had better numbers across the board than Swayman? The goal posts seem to move a lot in this game.

Lol. The sv% was essentially the same (0.939 to 0.942) & again, Swayman had over 300 additional saves (761 to 1099). McKay faced nearly 25% fewer shots this year than Levi & over 30% fewer than Swayman in '20. Get a clue.
