WCHA 2023-2024 Calamity Or Calmness?

And the Tommie Bahama's add another very good player for 2025 in Whitney Horton (Edina HS)

Umd hired a goalie coach for their 3rd paid assistant.

We have games being played!

Durham West at MN. I guess playing a middle school team is a good place to start.
Durham West at St. Tommy. So do they just cross the street to play the Tommies?
Union at St. Cloud.
BSU at Lindenwood. Lindenwood gets a primer series before the BADgers come Thursday. Not fair.

I suspect the wcha goes officially 4-0 for the week.

Then Thursday we have...
UW at Lindenwood.

Well Timmyboy, the old wcha took it on the chin last week, going 2-2. BSU gets dumped for 2 loses, outshot in both contests. I'm not sure why they haven't shaken up the coaching staff there. It did wonders at St. Cloud. St. Cloud gets the sweep and handily outshoots Union.

Winless WI at the undefeated Woodies.
Franklin Pierce at St. Thomas.
tosu at Colgate in a marque matchup.

Are we looking at another .500 weekend for the wcha?!?

WCHA season preview is up and it is notable that the notorious Abbey Murphy had a whole paragraph written about her "game".

In more recruiting news...The landcows, in an attempt to keep up with the tommie bahamas, picked up a committment from Benilde St Margaret forward Kendall Hassler for 2025. Nice pickup for them.

Oh yeah...The sinners might put up two touchdowns tonight and maybe even add the extra points.

From a marketing standpoint they have to put a UM player upfront as that state's state team has the biggest market and the most interest. I'm pretty confident Frosty is NOT enthralled by this extra attention. I hope the refs all read up on her and pay extra close attention to Ms. Chop-N-Slash.

And the landcows continue to stockpile commitments as the get one from Sophie Stramel out of Rosemount HS for 2025. Stramel is the sister of Charlie Stramel, who plays for the BADgers and was the Wild's first round draft pick.

Kinda disappointed in the sinners tonight. They were only able to put up one touchdown and missed the extra point. They did outshoot the lion cubs 65-5 however. Hard to score goals when you only get 5 shots on net for the game.

[Timothy A]

How bad is BSU to get swept by the Woodsters and then UW "more goals than shots" the Woodsters? Yikes.

Wisconsin sneaks by Lindenwood 16 to 1. Three hat tricks.

Wisconsin sneaks by Lindenwood 16 to 1. Three hat tricks.

The breakdown of that total by line (at least as listed on the line chart): First line - 1 goal, Second line - 8 goals, Third line - 2 goals, Fourth line - 4 goals, D players - 1 goal. Three of the four 4th line goals from a player who played D last year (Helgeson).

As Tim asked: how bad is Bemidji?!?

[Timothy A]

. As Tim asked: how bad is Bemidji?!?

I guess we're going to find out October 20th and 21st.

In other news, the muzzinators are losing. Oh the humanity!

If I'm HockeyBuckeye etal., the response to that is obvious: hey, Wisconsin lost their first game last year, and their season turned out OK...

(But, still...)

Ok Grant. I think it would be really good for the sport if Frosty just forfeited all games against Bemidji. Heaven forbid a great team of crushes a weak one. Wisconsin head two defensemen playing forward on the fourth line for heaven's sake and they allowed like 17 shots on goal, so Lindenwood actually played a better game offensively today than yesterday.

[Hockeybuckeye]

I'll admit OSU looked pretty rusty in most areas and that last missed shot that gave Colgate the two on one for the winning goal was painful to watch. On the plus side they did erase a two goal deficit and we have tomorrow to get the split. Let's see what the Muzzinator does.
