Congratulations! For my Gophers, we will really need to step up our game. I don't know how "we" will get a 1seed without a run in the tourney. OSU and Penn State at Penn State is going to be tough. Right now you guys are hot, hot, hot. My Gophers don't seem to be able to play a complete game. Frustrating.

We need you to lose both games to us. We need to get to at least 13 in PW. 3 conferences suck this year and their AQs will all be below 16. That means PW 14-16 all miss regionals unless any of those 3 win their conference. In that case, even PW #13 will miss out

There is a good chance you will win both. Our defense has too many lapses leaving Souliere (sp?) hanging out to dry. The team hasn't put together an entire game since 2024. On top of that, our team never wins shootouts. We have to get past OSU first. OSU won't be easy at all.

👏👏👏 really need to win in regulation tomorrow night. Up to 15th in Pairwise. A win tomorrow night would likely push team up to 14 or 13.

Looked this morning. Back to 16th. Need the Reg Dub tonight for sure.

At the moment, they are 13th in the PW. Providence did us a solid by beating Lowell.

Important results pending tonight:

5 WMU-16 ASU tied in third.
14 Quinnipiac one goal lead in third vs. 39 Brown
15 UMass up one late vs 20 New Hampshire

Maybe LionJim can fill in my maths, but they are out four decimal points and maybe I'm reading in wrong, but there's only a thousandth of a point separating four teams in the Pairwise.

Very very close. Could be 15th in morning. A regulation W last night would have been huge.

Way team is playing could win B1G. Sweeping Gophers next week would possibly get us to 12th—13th headed in conference tourneys.

End the night 15th PW. Passed ASU who lost to WMU. Only .0031 separate 11-15. We have at least four chances to improve PW vs teams ranked ahead of us.

Getting home ice is vital, because I think winning 2/3 at Yost is a tall hill to climb. UM going to OSU next week, but playing Thursday-Friday. We may know what we need to do before we play Fri-Sat.
