Official 2012-13 Miami Season Thread: Baby boom!

By process of elimination based on that column, we have 4 with nodak, uno, du, cc, and wmu.
 
Re: Official 2012-13 Miami Season Thread: Baby boom!

just read through the comments on that article. You would have thought that the only good teams that UND ever played were Minnesota and Wisconsin. I'm not sure what is wrong with a lot of those fans, complaining about their SOS next year. Wisconsin is average - have been ever since they won the NCAA Championship 3 or 4 years ago. Minnesota is good this year; but, lets be honest, this is the first time they've been relevant for 5-6 years now.

When you break it down, the average NCHC SOS is going to be lightyears ahead of the BTHC.

I get the feeling that a lot of UND fans (not all) just want to feel like they're the BMOC, so they will look down on all of the other schools in the new conference. We can only hope that their team takes the same approach.

TBH we'll probably see some of the same provincialism on our end. It's just that unlike most schools, UND actually has, for lack of a better term, "average" or "run of the mill" fans commenting on and following their team online.

If you read the siouxsports forums at all when the NCHC was announced, there were more than a few posters on there who weren't even aware we had made the tournament in recent years, not playing the "Miami gets no respect card" but you have to be pretty ignorant of hockey outside the WCHA to not have noticed us in the draw 7 years in a row. Then again there are some dense ones who chime in on hockey convos on MHT, so I guess we can't really talk.

This be why I avoid MHT at all costs.

I can't say that. I go the MHT whenever i'm feeling down I want to feel better about myself.

That being said, the few people that I've discussed this move with are fully aware of the prestige that the NCHC has the potential to have. When you look at that conference top to bottom, every club has the ability to make the tournament. Can anyone name one other conference that can say that? (this isn't aimed at you, 628. just a general comment)

You don't want to hear basketball stooges shout, "kiss the ring", when North Dakota basketball actually outdraws Miami basketball.

Re: Official 2012-13 Miami Season Thread: Baby boom!

If anyone here predicted that a meeting between the nation's best d-men and a tough lake state team would end in a 9 goal barn-burner, congrats.

Edit: to anyone that watched, did the defense leave Williams out to dry or was he just having a really bad day?

I think we may be seeing a bit more McKay...
 
Re: Official 2012-13 Miami Season Thread: Baby boom!

There were far too many times Williams was rolling around on his back for what felt like an eternity. Definitely didn't expect that heart-stopper of a game! Tomorrow night should be interesting.

Too bad the Irish couldn't pull off the shoot-out win to give us a little bit more breathing room. If the Irish can secure at least a point tomorrow, though, that will work well enough.
 
So 6 points won by miami/lost by why western, 5 won/lost by notre, and we win the last banner.

A miami sweep, and an irish win tomorrow and western is out and notre is on the ropes. A miami sweep, and a western win, and notre is done.
 
Re: Official 2012-13 Miami Season Thread: Baby boom!

Congrats Miami on the win. Your offense was really good and the power-play movement makes the Lakers power-play look high school like.

Thanks, Laker, though don't sell your boys short. They have to be one of the most tenacious teams I've watched in a long time. Despite the absurd number of penalties called, it was a great battle that had me on the edge of my seat from puck drop to final horn.
 
Re: Official 2012-13 Miami Season Thread: Baby boom!

Just checked out the Pairwise this morning. We've been #3 for quite a while now. One thing that I noticed on the KRACH ratings is that they don't think too highly of our SOS. Seems like they aren't too high on the CCHA outside of Miami, Western, and Notre Dame (which is a valid point). But here's another issue: OSU is just barely over the TUC line. If they were to lose tonight, a sweep by Miami next week could eliminate them from being a TUC.

Also: why is this last weekend against OSU not a home-n-home?
 
Re: Official 2012-13 Miami Season Thread: Baby boom!

By the way, that shoot-out of a game we had last night dropped us to #2 team defense in the nation, 1.58 average goals allowed to Quinnipiac's 1.55. Hopefully the nation's #1 goaltender can work on fixing that tonight!
