Said it before, but hell of a place and hell of a team. BC Eagles are okay, too.

Every game I watch of ASUs through the NCHC app is so fuzzy. I have top tier internet and can stream 4k videos on numerous devices with no issues.

Is it just these teams streaming connections or is the app that bad?

Fellow Sioux fans who live in the Twin Cities of Minnesota: are there any bars/gathering places NoDak fans like to gather at to watch the games? I'm looking for a regular hang out and cannot find any information.

Thanks guys!

Like if one team has outright more points they win the conference, but how are points determined given I see W-L-T-SO-OW-OL

Wins 3 points

Ties 1 or 2 points?

Shootout win 2 points

Overtime wins 2 points

OT/shootout losses 1 point

Loss 0 points

And then say teams are tied on points to end the season how is the tiebreaker determined? H2H first? Goal differential? Win total/regulation win total?

Same for every conference?

sup

As we round the corner towards the end of the season, the matchups get more heated with teams trying to position themselves for post season runs.

On the ladies side

#4 Adrian (16-2-1) At #13 St.Norbert (16-3-0)

Another year, another battle between the same two teams for the top of the NCHA. Intently the green Knights are just one point ahead atop the conference. Both the Bulldogs and Green Knights boast strong offensive talent that can score at anytime along with stingy defenses. What gives? If the Green Knights can’t stay out of the box it’s going go be a long night. Adrian has a top power play unit that makes opponents pay for taking infractions. History is not on the Green Knights side as the Bulldogs have a 30-5-2 lead in head to head play and have defeated the Knights in the last 2 conference tournament finals.

#9 Bowdoin (13-2-0) at #3 Amherst (12-3-1)

The Polar Bears picked up the massive split last weekend against (then) top ranked Middlebury and continue on their tough stretch in their schedule. Bowdoin is currently 2nd in the NESCAC to Amhersts 4th place position with 4 points separating the two in the conference. The Mammoths are coming off of an uncharacteristic hiccup as they split against last place ranked Wesleyan.

#10 Cortland (14-2-2) at #6 Plattsburgh (13-4-1)

It’s all tied at the top of the conference standings between these two teams. This past Tuesday night the Cardinals put it all out on the line in an overtime battle against #2 Middlebury where they came up short.

On the men’s side all eyes are on the NCHA as the top 4 teams in the conference are all in the top 10 in the nation

#4 Trine (16-2-1) at #3 Aurora (16-3)

What a treat. Two of the top teams in the nation putting it all out on the line for a chance to break loose atop the conference. Trine has a 2 point lead on the Spartans so a sweep could put them in the drivers seat for the playoffs. I don’t see either of these games ending I regulation time.

#7 St. Norbert (14-5) at #9 Adrian (14-5)

If anything guaranteed in life it’s death, taxes and a high stakes end of season conference tilt between the bulldogs and Green Knights. St. Norbert is currently two points above Adrian in conference standings, holding onto the third place spot. Both teams have struggled in 2025 with the Knights sitting at 2-4 since the new year. The bulldogs are 3-2 since the ball dropped but speaking of dropped, they gave 0-15 Dubuque their first win of the season this past Saturday.

Nichols (8-8-2) at #11 UNE (12-5-1)

The CNE is a 3 horse race between UNE/ Endicott and Curry but the scrappy bison are nipping on the heels of the Nor’easters and this series could really tip the scales the way of the Bison if they can put together two complete games.

Probably a WCHA player?

I assume it's someone from one of those boston schools.

Current PairWise: (USCHO / CHN)

Here's what PlayoffStatus has for NCAA berth probabilities, if you sort by their "current" probabilities:

This is, more or less, the current PairWise, with very few tweaks. A few schools going up or down one position. Top 8 looks pretty close to locked in, barring a major slip up.

But if we wanted to be bold, what bold predictions might you have to add for what will happen? Here are my picks for teams with rising and falling fortunes, considering where I think they'll end up before the conference tournaments start:

(Likely?) Rising Fortunes

Maine

• Current PWR: 5
• Avg spot in the KRACH rankings of remaining schedule: 17.5
• Prediction? Rises up to a 1-seed.
• 11 regular season games left. And I'd put an O/U on 8.5 wins or so for that stretch. Only 3 of their games are against teams likely to get at-large selections. And all three of those games (2x Providence, UConn) are away games, so there's less of a risk to the RPI if they lose. And even in those games, one images that they have roughly 50/50 odds to win in each matchup.

Western Michigan:

• Current PWR: 6
• Avg KRACH of remaining schedule: 32.7
• Prediction? Rise to a 1-seed.
• 6 more 2-game series left in the regular season. They're done playing Denver. ASU and North Dakota are the toughest opponents that they have left. What they lack in an SOS boost from this schedule, they gain in a very real possibility of going 10-2 to finish the regular season.

Cornell or Dartmouth:

• Current PWR: 20 (Cornell), 19 (Dartmouth)
• Avg KRACH of remaining schedule: 44.4 (Cornell), 39.6 (Dartmouth)
• Prediction? My spiciest take here. One or maybe even both of these teams could get to 15 or so in the Pairwise and end up watching conference tournament results to see where the cut line is.
• They're done playing each other, so it really just comes down to Dartmouth having one game left against Quinnipiac and both schools having 1-2 games left against Clarkson for challenges. No one else left in either schedule is in the top half of D-I in my book. Cornell going 8-2 and Dartmouth going 7-2 to finish out the regular season, and rising accordingly in their RPI and PWR, is a genuine possibility.

(Perhaps) Falling Fortunes

Minnesota:

• Current PWR: 3
• Avg KRACH of remaining schedule: 13.8
• Prediction? My second spiciest take is that they very well could fall to 5th in the PWR and become a 2-seed.
• Don't get me wrong: The Gophers are really good. They'll be favored, heavily, in all four of their remaining series. They're done with Michigan State until (presumably) the B1G playoffs. But even then, with their remaining games against the middle of the B1G pack, of whom it's very possible only one makes the tournament... that's one of the tougher remaining schedules out there.
• They could, of course, go 8-0 to finish the regular season, cruise to the B1G finals, and be a lock as a 1-seed in Fargo. And they might. But I don't think it'll be easy to get there, and an O/U of 6 or 6.5 wins to close out the regular season could be enough to drop them to 5th, requiring a solid B1G tourney outing to push them back up to a 1-seed.

UConn:

• Current PWR: 4
• Avg KRACH of remaining schedule: 19.1
• Prediction? Fall to a 2-seed. Maybe even down to 8th in the PWR.
• Half of their last 10 regular season games are against teams currently looking at at-large bids to the tournament. Four home games against BU, Lowell, Providence, and Maine. One away at Providence on Friday. Maybe they rock the house in those games, but the RPI hit of losing at home (and having Anchorage on the schedule) could hurt them.

Providence:

• Current PWR: 8
• Avg KRACH of remaining schedule: 11.3
• Prediction? Falls to a 3-seed.
• They have a brutal remaining regular season schedule. 2 games against UConn. 2 against Maine. 3 games against BU. Plus a game against Lowell. Like Minnesota... this is a good team. Maybe they rock that schedule and climb up the PWR. But that's a heck of a hill to climb.

Michigan:

• Current PWR: 12
• Avg KRACH of remaining schedule: 8.8
• Prediction? Outside looking in.
• If you though Providence's remaining games looked tough... Michigan has MSU, OSU, and Minnesota left to play. That's a ROUGH schedule. UNH is probably the only school in the top 20 of the PairWise that might have a tougher remaining schedule, and even then I wouldn't say that for sure. That Penn State series had better be a gimme for them, because it's not hard to see them going 2-6 or 3-5 to close out the regular season and still have to be on the road to start the B1G playoffs.

Anyone have an idea why this Fridays game is sold out? Unusual for Harvard unless it’s Cornell in town.

Never seen Princeton sell out.

Hey just a quick question about the WCHA women's playoffs in Duluth this year. Anyone know of the two semifinal games, which teams play first? Is is 4 vs 1, then 3 vs 2, or vice versa. Trying to plan a trip up and want to know if we should leave Madison Thursday night or early Friday morning. Thanks.

Title Contenders

BC Denver MSU Western

Frozen four contenders Gophs Maine Providence BU Michigan Cornell (….. jk)

Top 16 in PWR as of now (USCHO / CHN):

^(Assumed Automatic Qualifiers, per KRACH: HE: BC, B1G: Mich St, NCHC: WMU, ECAC: Quin, CCHA: Minn St, AHA: SHU)

^(Top 25 PWR Teams Ineligible for At-Large Bid with Losing Record: Merrimack [22], Northeastern [23])

^(Last team out: New Hampshire)

^(On the bubble: Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Dartmouth, Cornell, Augustana)

Assign regionals by proximity for the top overall seeds, then pair off by overall seed, and see where things stand:

• Manchester, NH:
  • (1) Boston College vs (16) Sacred Heart
  • (8) Providence vs (9) Massachusetts-Lowell (intra-conference matchup)
• Toledo, OH
  • (2) Michigan State vs (15) Minnesota State
  • (7) Denver vs (10) Boston University
• Fargo, ND
  • (3) Minnesota vs (14) Arizona State
  • (6) Western Michigan vs (11) Ohio State
• Allentown, PA
  • (4) Connecticut vs (13) Quinnipiac
  • (5) Maine vs (12) Michigan

UNH nearly makes it back in, which would cause a lot of chaos to the proceedings. As things stand, it’s just one intra-conference matchup to deal with, and since we have two HE 2-seeds and two HE 3-seeds we pretty much have to send BU and Lowell out west.

First option is Ohio State gets sent to Manchester and Lowell to Fargo. Straightforward. Or the slightly more inventive route is to rotate BU to Fargo and Lowell to Toledo, which might preserve some aspect of 'bracket integrity' in terms of trying to put lower 3s with higher 2s where possible. Plus, it has the “better” 3 seed traveling a shorter distance… all in all, I’d lean toward the rotation idea.

One other switch that stands out as a probability is Fargo and Toledo trading 2/3 matchups, since WMU is more than 500 miles from Fargo, they’re much closer to Toledo, and between DU, BU, and UML everyone else is flying regardless of which regional they’re in.

The last question concerns Minnesota State and Fargo. In theory, the 500-mile travel rule applies and you switch them with ASU. However, they are technically an autobid from outside the Top 16 (they’re 17th). In recent years, that's generally meant that they would be stuck where they are (against #2 overall Michigan State), with the only exceptions typically being made for resolving intra-conference matchups (which has included swaps with at large selections, but doesn’t apply here).

That said, historically, the committee has also shown a willingness to swap low-ranked autobids (albeit usually only with other autobids) for travel reasons. Perhaps the more likely reason that they justify the move (if they do it) is the meager .0025 RPI points between the Mavericks and the 16th Pairwise spot.

Would they apply the 500-mile travel stipulation to bring the Mavericks to Fargo? Or would they stick with their recent practice of avoiding moving low-ranked autobids? Or would they consider #17 in the Pairwise to be so close to the cutoff line that they don't care? It's probably worth looking into the committee's history with autobids in the 16-20-ish range in a separate post altogether to get an idea of how that’s normally handled but for argument's sake I'll say that they swap the Mavericks with ASU.

That gives us:

• Manchester, NH:
  • (1) Boston College vs (16) Sacred Heart
  • (8) Providence vs (11) Ohio State
  • Predicted Attendance: 6332 fans/session
• Toledo, OH
  • (2) Michigan State vs (14) Arizona State
  • (6) Western Michigan vs (10) Boston University
  • Predicted Attendance: 5675 fans/session
• Fargo, ND
  • (3) Minnesota vs (15) Minnesota State
  • (7) Denver vs (9) Massachusetts-Lowell
  • Predicted Attendance: Sellout (5000+ standing room)
• Allentown, PA
  • (4) Connecticut vs (13) Quinnipiac
  • (5) Maine vs (12) Michigan
  • Predicted Attendance: 4896 fans/session

Conference Representation:

• HE (6/11)
• B1G (4/7)
• NCHC (3/9)
• CCHA (1/9)
• AHA (1/11)
• ECAC (1/12)
• Ind (0/5)
