Miami @ Omaha last regular season series

What a ride this season has been! Let’s keep the good vibes going. We need at least 1 point to lock us into the postseason and are in the drivers seat to get there.

Hopefully the basketball team is laying a beat down on WMU and destroying them by 40 when the puck drops so I can safely turn my tv to NCHCtv

So does this mean we have the tiebreaker guaranteed?

According to VFTG we do over Omaha which makes sense since we fully swept them in regulation at home and they’d have at least one game that went to OT against us. Not sure if it’s a MAC situation though if more than two teams are tied at 26 and tiebreakers get thrown out

Yeah seems like we definitely have it if it’s just us and Omaha but depending on how many times they’ve played CC and ASU that may get thrown out if they are also tied

Just win and we don’t have to worry. Would like to avoid UND and WMU if possible

Yea looking at this is frying my brain haha. ASU and Omaha only met once and CC and us only met once so the first tiebreaker would likely not go in a multiple way tie. Then in regulation wins we’d only have 5 and Omaha would have 8 and ASU could possibly have 6.

But yeah 2 points to really feel comfortable in clinching. But also let’s get some momentum for the postseason and we could pass or tie St. Cloud in 5th place since they don’t play.

I personally don’t care who we play, I just want to be in. Although I’ve said I’d rather play UND or WMU because we nearly beat nodak twice in grand forks and we actually beat western and our only other option is playing UMD who we looked bad against at home or Denver and magness has not been kind to us recently

We haven’t played them in a while. I think we can surprise them a lot more than the other potential opponents who we just played

I’m keeping fingers and toes crossed for Denver for completely selfish reasons. :laughing:

Well this didnt happen… but also i recall the amount of stressful almost losing moments to Buffalo then going to goggin to watch hockey destroy Omaha so hopefully history repeats itself

Like the start here, setting the tone early

Please not another special teams game we had so much momentum before these penalties

Maybe this will be the PP….

…nevermind

Omaha score

Lucky to be down one after 20 minutes against the 41st-ranked team in the NPI.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this team right now, but there may not even be a next week unless Miami figures this out quickly.

Things were going well until penalties started getting called…special teams needs a come to Jesus moment.

And put the puck in the net instead of Ryan Smith

Why does Omaha look so good with this crisp passing and 2 on 1s??

This is really bad. We might need to hope for help elsewhere

Maybe they’re just taking inspiration from the basketball team

This is the power play

This matchup doesn’t effect us much but it’s a bad night to be a western Michigan fan

This HAS to be the one. We WILL score
