Any word on Allison or Muir?? Are they healthy? Playing this weekend?

Allison yes Muir no

injury or disciplinary?

Muir ,the same injury causing him problems still . Allison was cause of late game head hit he took in Und game and was playing thru tonsilitis the previous weeks. Hopefully this mumps thing going thru nhl teams etc keeps the heck away, things like that can really screw a team. As far as the team goes I have been told from top to bottom everybody really gets along which has been a problem for a few previous years. And it was from the get go not just as the success has come, this is crucial and is part of why we are doing way better. Also nice listen on TPS Guy. 1290 radio Edmonton interveiw of UND schlossman https://soundcloud.com/pipeline-show/bra...sman-feb28 … about half way thru they talk WMU and how nobody wants to play us especially in the tournament

Quote:everybody really gets along

I think the team captain has something to do with the unity. Hard for the others not to pull together when they see Dries blocking shots, playing hard the right way, and otherwise being the leader he is....they can't help but follow. I think he's helped create the "we're all in this together" attitude that seems apparent with this team.

As long as there in the line up next weekend, I care less about this weekend

Dont get me wrong, as I'd love to see playing vs Duluth.

Any chance we could be a first place seed in the NCAA tournament if we were able to sweep or split with Minnesota-Duluth?

Nope he was the captian last year and it was a crap show. Now don,t get me wrong i like Dries he is a good leader he play,s with heart but it was more to do with getting rid of clashing arrogant personalities. From talking with some rookies from last year during team meetings if they voiced their concerns etc... they were told to shut up and just sit there and learn they were just rookies and had no say. it is not like that this year and from the start, personalities mesh much better. If there is cancer in the locker room it spreads. No cancer this year

Nice catch.

FYI for anyone else who wants to listen - it starts at the 9:55 mark.

It's certainly possible...

Just goes to show you again and the college hockey world what a conference NCHC is, 6 out of 8 teams in conference possibly going to NCAA tourney and 3 out of the top 4 teams in the country our from NCHC also.

Also possible the NCHC gets 6 teams into the tournament. Amazing.

We are the ACC/SEC (hoops and football respectively) of college hockey for sure.

EDIT: Didn't see Dan's post before posting myself. Sorry for sounding like a broken record.
