I thought I should do a traditional update now that the first half is completed. This weekend got swept by Minnesota (L 1-7 Fri, L 4-6 Sat).
**Comparisons below are from early Nov after MSU series.**
Record: 7-11-0 (1-9-0-0 3 pts, 7th in Big7 (n/c))
USCHO Poll: NR; (NR)
USA Today Poll: NR; (NR)
PWR: 33 of 62; (+12)
RPI: 33 of 62; (+13)
KRACH: 34 of 62; (-3)
Scoring: 2.50 GPG (+0.9); (45th of 62) (+14)
Defense: 3.39 GAPG (-0.19); (T49th of 62) (-5)
Save %: .889 (-.020); 48th of 62 (-28)
Power Play Rate: 16.67% (13 of 78) (+5.86%); T45th of 62 (+8)
Penalty Kill Rate: 78.67% (59 of 75) (+4.31%); 39th of 62 (+13)
Penalty Min per Game: 12.17 (+.47); 16th of 62 (1st is worst) (-7)
Penalty Min: 219 (+102); 14th of 62 (1st is worst) (-5)
Shorthanded Goals Scored; 3 (+2); T9th of 62 (+7)
Shorthanded Goals Allowed: 2 (+1); T14th of 62 (1st is worst) (-5)
Team Faceoff: 54.5% (+1.4%) 5th of 62 (+9)
Next games 12/28 vs Lake Superior State and 12/29 vs TBD at Kwik Trip Holiday Faceoff.
Analysis - it is FUGLY with some ups and downs, but basically in the bottom half of all NCAA teams in every statistical category that matters (except Faceoff% (thanks Lindy) and Shorthanded Goals Scored. Finish of last in the Big7 seems all buy certain unless they suddenly start winning and Notre Dame / maybe Michigan collapses.
PS: Last 5 games against Minnesota 0-5, goals scored UW 6, Goofers 30 - 1.2 GPG, 6.0 GAA. Oof is that awful.
PSS: Since Motzko took over Minnesota ('18-'19 thru this weekend): 19 games, 6-12-1 (.333), goals scored UW 53, Goofers 80 - 2.79 GPG, 4.21 GAA (-1.42 GPG).
(even the Cole Caufield - Hobey year 20-21 was only 3-2-0 versus Minnesota (lost 6-4 in big7 finals)
