They need to keep winning. Hard to say what the WCHA playoffs will look like this season and how many teams will get in.⚓

I wonder how they'll handle the Tuesday afternoon games at Tech in back to back weeks, and 5 games in 11 days. I don't want to jinx it, but doing well in this stretch could be the difference between consideration for an NCAA bid or not.

I don't agree with this. I don't see a format that excludes Lake State right now. Why would the WCHA come up with something that excludes one of their 6 teams receiving votes in the USCHO poll? So I either see the league rolling with a tournament of 6 in which Lake State is part of since I don't see the Lakers falling to 7, or they might even just have all 8 teams and do a single elimination like the NCHC.

What if the WCHA decides to just go with a 4 team playoff, given the shorter season, the Alaska schools dropping out, all the cancellations/postponements, and maybe even an unbalanced schedule at the end? I'm not saying I think that is what will happen, but it is a possibility. 6 or 8 teams are perhaps more likely, but it's been a strange season so you never know. If more Covid postponements within the WCHA occur, that could cause the league to bump up against whatever format and schedule the NCAA tournament comes up with and cause them to rethink the playoffs.

The fact that we are less than a month away from the postseason and still have no direction on what the format or participating teams will be? Very disappointing. Can't be easy on teams to have no idea what the parameters are. I guess for all the years of coachspeak about only playing the game in front of you, that's finally fully true.

It looks like it will be all 8 teams, although no doubt everything is subject to change.

Did anyone else see the USCHO article about the NCAA tournament committee of 6? Damon Whitten and Jeff Jackson are on it. If there's ever a time for the "eye test" then I like seeing those two guys on the committee.
