The only way the Gophers stand a chance for home ice in the playoffs is if they can stay above .500 in the remaining 14 conference games. I would venture to say they need at least 8/14 or 16 pts. With 8/14 on the road they'll especially need to be much more consistent as a team series to series and fix the special teams to pull it off. For a shot at an NCAA berth and with ranked teams like Union and Ferris State coming in, they definitely can't afford to lose the Dodge Holiday Classic this season either if they expect to move up in the PWR.

    Its so hard to guess with this team. I want to say 16-18 points is not out of reach but that is only if we can sweep Tech, Bemidji, and Anchorage which isn't a given these days. The harder schedule might not be a bad thing giving this teams improved play against "better" teams. I see us finishing in 5th and hosting Wisconsin or CC in the first round of the playoffs.

    PWR doesn't mean anything if we win the Final Five.

    Agree. Maybe its just me but I don't think Wisconsin is that big of rival in hockey. I enjoy watching the Gophers beat UND and SCSU much more.

                    You obviously are younger than myself because I would rather punish the BADgers over anybody in the WCHA.

                          Rivals:

                          1. UND
                          ...
                          ...
                          2. WI
                          6908309860943. Everyone else.

                          Why UND over WI? Hockey is the ONLY thing North Dakota (the state) has on MN, that I care about. I want to destroy their only sports asset. I want their dream to be crushed.

                              MTU has the highest probability of being swept out of the three. BSU and UAA have both shown they can beat some pretty good teams. BSU swept UNO and UAA has split in most of their series so far and sent several games into overtime.

                              My guessimate is the Gophers will most likely need to win 5/6 games or 10/12 points from the above 3 series. Taking more than 6 pts from @UND, Denver, @UMD and @Wis. might be tough, but if they put together another series like last weekend it could happen.

                              However, the margin for error is small. Only 2 series sweeps of the Gophers in their remaining schedule and they'll most likely be on the road and teetering on elimination from the NCAAs.

                                UND's rival is anyone above them in the WCHA standings. Right now UND has no rival.
