Re: Michigan Hockey 2019-2020- a big fresh start, again.
There's is definitely a logjam at the top. #1 has 33 points then a 3-way tie @ 31 points followed by #5 @ 28 points and us @ 27 points. On top of that the next 3 weekends are against the 3 teams immediately above us. Our fate is definitely in our own hands.
#5 Notre Dame has Minnesota at home, us here then sparty at home
#2a MSU has us H-N, TTDS at home then at ND
#2b Minnesota has at ND, at PSU then us at home
#2c TTDS has at MSU then Wisconsin at home
It's almost shaping up as a 3 week round-robin tournament among the 5 teams to determine regular season finishing slots 2-6. One VERY big factor is that the other four teams all have two games in hand over TTDS. With only 4 points separating top to bottom they could slip all the way down to 6th! I don't think there is any way things could break for us to move to #1 or #2, #3 would require things to break just right. Bur moving up 1 or 2 spots to #5 or #4 is certainly possible, maybe even likely.
