Good weekend for the Cats. I expect to see them in the top 25 coaches poll. If not... barely missing it.

Listening to Walt on various occasions it's been a matter of performance at practice for Doan. A couple of weeks ago he indicated that Doan has earned a starting shot through his strong relief efforts and improved practice. Last week he hinted at starting him once at St. Cloud. But with the chance of a rare road sweep I think he stuck with Coreau. It turned out to be a good decision.

It should prove interesting as to when he decides to start Doan going forward. Every league point is important right now and Jared has been solid. At the same time you don't want to wear him out. Coreau might be able to handle it though.

One thing to remember is that after Ohio State next week. the Cats go to Alaska then have a week off. Rest ks nicely built in.

A win and a tie isn't terrible after the rocky stretch. Would have liked the SOW just for the league points, but alas. Tie was hard fought after letting Miami score three before the 'Cats finally answered back. Now we need to get the same results (or better) against tOSU.


NMU improves to:
New WCHA: 2-2-1
B1G: 3-2-1
NCHC: 4-4-2
Hockey East: 0-2-0

Remaining:
New WCHA: 9 games
B1G: 4 games
