    SB Nation profile of UNO defenseman Luc Snuggerud:

    Chris Dilks, the writer, does not point out in this article that Snuggerud was one of the runners-up to current UNO freshman forward Avery Peterson for the "Mr. Minnesota Hockey" award last season.

      UNO probably needs to win 3 games between now and the end of the playoffs to get in. Only 2 of those can be CC (and they have beaten us). The other two need to come on the road against the #3 team in the PWR and in the first round of the playoffs in which we have never advanced under Dean Blais. I have to say, I'm not terribly confident that we can get 3 if the SCSU series shows what this team has left in the tank.
      I'll make it easier for you, blaiz wants respect win the games you're supposed to win and motivate your players from the beginning of the season to the end. his teams are supposed to be among the most conditioned and once again they seem to be dead on their feet. How on God's green earth do NHL players keep going until june????

            Spinner, Olofsson, & Oldham are all UNO commits.

              I wonder if we'll see a 4th goalie added before next season.

                WOWT, the NBC affiliate here in Omaha, announces some sort of affiliation/partnership with UNO Hockey and will also, apparently, be televising our season ending series next weekend with CC:

                http://www.wowt.com/fortheheartland/...290221571.html

                I saw an ad on their station about this today, as well.

                This is sort of odd since the press release about this is dated the 20th, but there has been not a peep about it on the school's own Athletic Department web site, nor in the Mavpuck forum or the associated Facebook or Twitter pages that I have seen, nor at @RedArmyUNO.

                Somebody know something that I don't, here?

                  Such negativity… you realize now matter how bad they play the next two weeks, they still get to make the playoffs, right?
                  tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

                    I was hoping we could just skip the playoffs and go straight to the NCAAs.
                    If we could extend Blais' contract, that'd be greeeaaatttt

                        No regular season conference title is the offing for us, now.

                        We can finish 2nd, though.

                        One win next weekend against CC gets us home ice, since we now own the tiebreaker against UMD, even if they sweep next weekend, since one win against CC for us and a sweep for UMD at Western would leave us tied in the points standings.

                        SCSU secured a road gig for themselves tonight in the conference tourney.

                        There are two home ice spots left up for grabs in the NCHC tourney and those two spots are going to UNO, Denver, or UMD and UNO has the inside track to one of those spots.

                        My guess is that DU or UMD will be playing UNO in the CenturyLink Center come March 13th.

                        An aside, UNO moves up to 5th in Pairwise tonight and probably guaranteed itself an NCAA tourney slot although I'd like to get a look at the Pairwise predictor and see how a CC sweep of us next weekend as well as a 2 game exit at the conference tourney by us might affect that. My guess is that we'd still be in.

                        I'd like to see us sweep CC (who has nothing to play for), get to the Frozen Faceoff at the Target Center and do well enough to sew up one of the #1 seeds.

                        I'm guessing getting to Minneapolis and winning at least one game there will do it.

                        Pairwise predictor, anyone?

                          With Miami playing UND, a sweep of CC should get us second place in the conference. Not a bad season in the toughest conference.

                          I would agree - we should be in regardless. I would have to think getting to the championship game of the conference tourney would secure a top seed. Just hope we don't drop one to CC next week.

                            Technically a win doesn't put you past Duluth. If you split and they sweep, they'd win the tiebreaker. Tiebreaker is not head to head, its conference wins. If you split you'd end up with 12 and they'd have 13. Last year when it looked like UND and SCSU could end up tied for the Penrose, UND would have been the 1 seed despite us going 3-1 against them.
                            tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

                                Here is video of Purple Cows Head Coach and Omaha Lancer/Omaha hockey legend Mike Hastings on senior night at in Mankato this past Saturday night, post game:

                                https://vimeo.com/120920103

                                I am posting it here because Coach Hastings gives a shout out to UNO Assistant Coach and former Mankato Head Coach Coach Troy Jutting in his speech to the crowd in this video (at about the 7 minute mark), and because Omaha hockey fans pretty universally have warm fuzzies for Coach Hastings, in any event.


                                We wish him all the best--unless he and his purple gang are playing us.
