No weird weekday games coming up, so we'll know where we stand after tonight.

Looks like the UMD series will be huge in the Pairwise. A win and a tie by either team should move them up into the NCAA picture.

I watched UND at DU last night. Man, UND's speed kills and DU was struggling all night. Hope the Pioneers can pull one out tonight.

Speed and size, pretty lethal.

IDK. Pairwise movement, allot depends on how UMD does tonight vs the Gophers. A loss, pretty much keeps UMD and WMU in the same spots. But if UMD happens to get a win tonight, that would be 2 wins out of 3 vs the #1 ranked team, which should move UMD up several spots pair wise. I also wonder if this game tonight would be considered a home game for the Gophers?

Regardless of the pairwise, next weeks games vs UMD are absoulty huge for WMU in order to get closer to locking up a top 4 NCHC seed.

I plan on watching the game tonight, go Bulldogs!

It'll be classified as a neutral site game.

I'm pretty sure the commitee will consider this a home game for the Gophers:

Not looking good, SCSU down 2-1 early in the 2nd. Mavs 18 shots to 5, winning almost every draw

NCHC can't lose to the WCHA!!!!!!!!

2 quick goals and the Huskies take the lead. 3-2 with 8:49 to go in the 2nd

St. Cloud won 6-4, with four 2nd period goals. Michigan Tech holding tough with Ferris State as well. Beat them last night and down just 1-0 right now in the 2nd period

With UMD tie of the Gophers, they leap frog in the pair wise from 23 to 14

Broncos drop down to T20, but this sets up and great opportunity for next weekends home series vs UMD
