WCHA 26-27 Season Thread

Maybe we're looking at this wrong. The first day, that 1 was a digit. Another 2-1 win, would produce another one-goal differential. Because they'd be the same, the second could be a double for the first.

Al Davis had that "just win, baby" saying, but in the world of NCAA women's hockey and OT, tOSU just two-thirds won.

I suppose it depends on your definition of a "digit". "By the book" would be that 2 is still a single digit.

I guess you had a line on how the results would turn out. slOwSU repeated last night's 2-1 win but did not need OT to "just win, baby".

OSU could have attacked more on power play. Kept things to the outside so while they had shots not great chances. Also, not many 2-1 which happens a lot when you are in the opponents end the entire game.

Games! We have games this weekend.

TWSNBN at Ped St. - quite the titanic 2 v 4 match-up.
RPI at MSU - MSU is ranked 14th. Nice
NH at St. Thomas -
UW at St. Lawrence -
Mercyhurst at UMD - #15 vs #9.
UConn at St. Cloud - UConn is #7

Usually I root for the wcha teams, but not in the 2 v 4, though I really dislike PSU now and I have an axe to grind against UMD, so go UConn.

Four voters in this week's poll shifted their #1 from Ohio State to Wisconsin.

That's interesting because PSU got handily outshot by their opponent, indicating the opponent's strength, though the scores indicated a closer set of games. Meanwhile, UW was missing their #2 & 4 D and starting goalie, and handled them pretty well, although St. L is predicted to be the 9th place EZAC team. Personally I don't see why UW should have gained that many votes. If anything, they should have lost a few due to the quality of the opponent.
 
This week the WCHA will not go undefeated.

BU at UW - a battle of attractive uniforms
UMD at Vermont - There's nothing like Vermont in the fall, the easterner's say anyway. Too early for the fall colors.
TWSNBN at St. Thomas - We'll see how PSU and St. Thomas match up.
UM at BSU - boom or BOOM!
St. Cloud at Kato - an early season fight to stay in the top 15

It's part of MJ's plan. He likes them to get challenged during the season and face adversity. In the postgame, he will refer to this as an opportunity at least five times. Not saying he's wrong, though.
 
Last week's results

BU at UW - BU's uni's reminded me of the 80's UW men's jerseys. Major injury for UW in game 2.
UMD at Vermont - UMD with a BAD showing. loss and a OT win. Yuck
TWSNBN at St. Thomas - nothing to see here
UM at BSU - here either
St. Cloud at Kato - a sweep send the Huskiettes into the 8 hole natioanally, even jumping the underperforming B-Dawgs. MSU drops to 16th.

This week
St. Cloud at Colgate - interesting match-up
BSU - Maine - Interesting
BSU - UM - Meh
Maine - UM - Interesting
UW at TWHNBN - Outlook looking very bad to terrible for UW, depending on medical reports. UW will be missing 2 of their top 3 D and an impressive high flying Fr C at a minimum. Could also be missing their #4 D and top W as well. The D corps could consist of a great Jr, 3 freshmen, a So who didn't play last year and an EZAC transfer Jr who is 6th on the depth chart. I don't know that Nela and Hall will be able to keep them in the games.
Tommiettes at Dawgettes - an early battle for relavancy.
 
It is crazy that masha Russian girl is really tearing it up at St Cloud. Her release is pretty incredible. She was barely recruited too since she came over to Canada in her final year of school and played u18 and then her extra year she played junior u22. To think she also didn’t know a word of English!!!! Crazy accomplishments. It’s wild to think of how many late bloomers out there get overlooked and then give up completely.
