Whatever, don't take it too hard when that statement is proved wrong.

NCHC was 15-4-6 against the WCHA last year. 12-4-6 if you don't want to count games against UAH. So....I guess I will believe it when I see it.

We'll check back with you at the end of the season.

Wait the comment was can't beat any teams outside of it. So it was not 0 wins against the NCHC already last year which what I recall was primarily road games. That record should improve for the WCHA with some home games.

Absolutely. But the problem is UNO lost a of people. And it's tough to win a lot of games with freshman carrying the load

True enough, and, our schedule is pretty brutal in the first half.

The Purple Cows at home, runaway winners of the WCHA pre-season poll. At Cornell, who received a 1st place vote in the ECAC pre-season poll. Away at North Dakota, winners of the NCHC pre-season poll. At St Cloud State. Home against Miami, a trip to Ohio State, etc.

That said, I think this is a team that improves as the season wears on. I'll be interested in seeing how well we compete and how competitive these 1/2 half games are because all those freshman are going to play and play a lot.

Did Blais recruit a goalie?

Yup.

Good question because the nets have been our biggest Achilles heel since Coach Blais arrived here, the issue bordering on the ridiculous. My hope is that Crossthwaite is good enough to take Massa's job and does so.

You do realize that college hockey is not like point spreads in Vegas, right? Just because LSSU loses to UND by less than seven goals doesn't mean the Lakers get to count the game as a win.

Obligatory: "Yeah, but have you seen SCSU's first half schedule!"

It was an interesting statement, we will check back at the end of the year.

Wow.

No, I hadn't.

Great googly moogly.

Your comment was that the NCHC sucked last year and will this year. My argument is that we stomped your conference last year so why are you talking crap?

Don't try and confuse the issue with facts and statistics.
I don't care what your records are.
Your conference sucks sweaty balls.

The bitterness from you guys is both hilarious and sad.

I guess I don't really understand why Miami is getting so much hate. I still think they get pretty good recruitment. They just had a bad year and sometimes when you start on the wrong foot, everything seems to go wrong. I'm not sure I've seen a team have so much go wrong in one season as 13-14 Miami. To me, I'd be much more concerned about CC. What happened to this program? They haven't been relevant in years. To me, the bottom teams in the NCHC are Western Michigan and CC going forward. UMD, SCSU, and UNO will probably fight for the middle spots most years (although I realize SCSU has been good the last couple years), while I see UND, Miami, and Denver most consistently competing at the top of the league.

As for Mankato, I think realignment will be a good thing for them. I see them consistently being at the top of the WCHA which they weren't in the old WCHA. They have the challenge cup thing every year with the other Minnesota schools which basically replicates the Final Five. As long as they can continue to keep games with SCSU, UMD, UMinn, I don't think much has changed for them except they will actually start making the tournament frequently.

Care to provide some basis for this statement?
