    Davy, why couldn't the teams just have mutually agreed to back out of the series in time to schedule other non-conference tilts? This seems kind of a silly setup for both parties, why use up a non-conference weekend on a league opponent, when it wont count for the league standings??

      Two home dates. It was a one series deal. When the WCHA took that away last year, it was very costly. It's a one for none home series with no return trip and expense necessary. Why not keep it? Why forego that revenue?

        Seems reasonable. I know that there was talk between Tech, LSSU and NMU to add a non conference series to make sure all three teams played four games against one another for a "Yooper Cup" type series.

          Right on, that makes perfect sense, I didn't think of it like that, thanks!

            Because of the scheduled non conference series, NMU would have preferred that it be left alone and to play at UAH in conference play. But the WCHA didn't grant that and the team was scheduled to play another opponent on the weekend originally meant for UAH at NMU.

              Dammit Florek. What a great way to get your first playoff goal... But I wanted the Wings to win.

              Good for him though. He's progressed well, and will be in the NHL for a long time if he keeps playing like this.

                I see that NMU has a new president, Fritz Erickson. He's been at Ferris and MTU among other places and has a bachelor's degree from WMU. Is he a college hockey fan and will he be a strong advocate of NMU hockey? Curious...

                          All quiet in MQT regarding the hockey program?

                          Saw MTU is trying to drum up interest by offering a (pretty significant) discount on season tickets.

                          And on NMU's end: No ticket push. No fundraising efforts (ie: video board talk). Not even the schedule release. Nothing.

                            I'm also suprised by how quiet things have been with NMU hockey.

                                I suppose I could riff a list of things that I care as little about as another Pink Pony post. Let's see... low carb diets, Michael Moore, the Republican National Convention, Kabbalah & all Kabbalah-related products, Hi-Def TV, the Bush daughters, wireless hotspots, the OC, the UN, recycling, getting Punk'd, Danny Gans, the Latin Grammys, the real Grammys, Jeff that Wiggle that sleeps too darn much, the Yankees payroll, all the red states, all the blue states, every hybrid car, every talk show, everything on the planet, everything in the solar system, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everythingj every-everything that exists past present & future, in discovered and undiscovered dimensions!
