Wcha 2022-23

As for the hockey itself, I wish that play at the end of the 1st period had been a no-call.

Can't be a no call when contact to the head is involved. The Yuckeye player can't be that undisciplined.

I suspect the Yuckeyes will get the full muzzinator as 2 periods are complete and the Yuckeyes are down 3-1.
 
I was worried that the 5 minutes of PP would be followed by either three straight minors against UM or a lenghty 5-on-3 PP for tOSU. Could still be on the agenda for the 3rd.

Old time Badger radio guy Paul Braun used to say to whoever he was with when all the calls were going one way "I'm putting a $20 up on the monitor that says the next penalty gets called on the Gophers", etc. I was thinking it during thst period.

As was mentioned by others...Interesting that this year had one team (Yuckeyes) win the leaue title. Another win the league tournament (Tunnelers). And another win the national title (Sinners). Probably speaks to how close in ability these teams were to each other and UMD really not too far behind as well.

Three of the Frozen Four teams were from the WCHA and for the second straight year an all WCHA final...Northleastern's record was exposed to be a lot of fluff as many of us thought. The ECAC, for all it's supposed strength and depth, couldn't parlay that into any tournament success.

Conclusion: Well duh...Western elitists were right again. The WCHA's competition breads championships.

Northleastern....a subtle, yet sharp edge. Love it. Of course WI did lose to NE in the quarters last year, but they were decimated by the Olympics and injuries.

Hopefully all in good fun...

And speaking of... I know you said my nickname for your program of rooting interest is lame but instead you should have axed me the question...You know what rhymes with Sinners?

dinners, grinners, spinners, thinners, skinners......I hate poems and I always hated Lit classes in HS and college. But you'd never know from my AWA mean Gene Okerlund Bucky interview, eh?
 
Half of the USCHO 1st, 2nd, 3rd and all rookie team players were WCHA players, Idalski USCHO coach of the year (Watts a joke he wasn't the league coach of the year), KK co-rookie of the year, Jaques gets the PK, 3 of the 4 FF teams WCHA and the champ were too. Heck of a season for the the old WCHA.

This is a link to the page where I found these inter-conference records pasted above. They seemed useful for looking back at the season, and you may have checked them out a lot before. They did speak to the level of competition in the WCHA conference in 2022-23.

As a fan of Yale, I have felt hopeful, seeing the top teams from the ECAC, for instance, compete pretty often with some of your top teams. Even as 4-12-2 was the overall ECAC 2022-23 inter-conference record vs. the WCHA, those games can be fun to watch. (:
 
I still wonder how many years the WCHA as we know it has left? Michigan is exploring a woman's program and if it happens that makes 5 teams. With the Big Ten poaching Pac schools that makes the possibility of an additional woman's team or teams extremely high which would give the Big Ten the magic 6 number.
Of course this is speculation on my part but I feel it's a distance possibility. Time will tell.

Wow what a great negative information. It makes a guy wonder about how the computer rankings didn't have the WCHA the top 4.

I still wonder why some super rich person from a non b16 hockey school hasn't dumped a pile of cash on somebody's desk and said start women's team. I guess they would rather use the money on gold plated silverware for the football team's training table instead.

But a b16 woman's hockey conference would be bad for woman's hockey so I am ok with the way it is now.
