I have BTN+ but for Gopher sports only. Any other way to watch or at least track?

Are you sure about that? I got the hockey package, and any WCHA game is accessible. It will show a lock on games you can't watch, or ask if you wish to subscribe for other sports. Check the event calendar to see what you can view.

Could Wisconsin have caught the 1st game good/2nd game bad disease that the Gophers used to have?

Duluth is pretty good, particularly at home. Frozen Four last year, etc. Wisconsin has already gotten more standings points in Duluth than they did last year.

And there are two more periods to play.

UMD leads the sinners 2-0 after 1 period. A period that the sinners put up 1 shot on net.

Shot clock on BTN broadcast seems to be inverted. It was correct about halfway through the first period, then somehow showed a pile of shots for Wisconsin, with a goal on no shots for UMD.

BTN offers different subscriptions, including a "school" package. So you can sign up to get all sports, but only if Minnesota is one of the teams involved. If that's what he signed up for, then he doesn't get this game.

Nope, I subscribed to the "School Pass" so I can only access games for all Minnesota sports, including volleyball which I enjoy.
 
Wisconsin comes back in 2nd period to tie it up. All down to 3rd period now. We will see an exciting matchup here of 2 teams showing their character.

Well that was anticlimactic. 3 on 3 and UMD coughs up the puck and Wisconsin wins with less than 30 seconds gone in overtime.

I am vaguely aware that Grant and ARM have mentioned it here, but I hadn't paid attention to the details. But the Wisconsin OT win isn't a full three-point standings win, like an OT win would have been in the past. The WCHA standings page shows it as an "overtime win" worth only two standings points; one point to Duluth. Was it that way for the 20-21 season? I thought that happened if the game went to shoot-out.

Anyway, as I said earlier, more standings points than UW got out of their trip to Duluth last season or the season before. But not all six points.

(But it's a full-sized win for RPI and Pairwise... I think.)

My understanding is that it is even less full-sized than the WCHA two-out-of-three-points win, if this is correct; I'm quoting from here:
https://www.collegehockeynews.com/women/standings.php

For overall records, overall W-L-T is shown, but Overtime Wins/Losses (OTW/OTL) will count 55/45 percent of a win, respectively, for NCAA Tournament selection purposes. Playoff games that are played using regular 5-on-5 OT are counted in the RW/RL records, for these purposes, since their weighting (100/0) is the same as a regulation W/L.

PwPt% = Pairwise Points % ... takes the above 55/45% for OT win into account, and divides by total games played.

So the next question is "what are pairwise points?"

The Pairwise is (was?) three criteria: head-to-head, common opponent record, and RPI.

Is "Pairwise points" a new, fourth component to a Pairwise comparison? So far at least, the USCHO page doesn't say anything about such a thing.

I assumed it was more basic than that. If a regulation win is worth something (say 1 point), then an overtime win is now worth 55 percent of that. I don't know if this is only used for RPI, or if it applies to H2H and COP as well.

Yeah it should be this, basically just winning percentage with an OT win accounting for 55% of a win (instead of a full win like it used to be).

Absolutely no idea on how that applies to H2H and CoOpp but I am guessing it applies the same there too.

For what it's worth I was told by someone that they think the women are deviating from the men and doing 67% of a win in OT instead of 55%. But until the pre-champs manual comes up (usually December-ish) we won't know for sure.

Arlan and Nicole are back. Quite enjoyed this. There’s a player in college whose been playing since the Obama Administration. Made me laugh out loud.

as for the quick comment on Ohio States streaming capabilities, that school doesn’t get dragged enough for their women’s ice hockey facilities. Nice to see it mentioned. It’s not right what they are doing.

Hockeywise, having seen Fillier this summer and how good she is, I just don’t see Princeton will be comparable to what they were. Huge loss, but it may pay dividends down the line, as they get press in this Olympic cycle.

Cornell lost a lot but still has Browning in net, leading scorer Frechette is back, and freshman Rory Guilday who is involved with USA Hockey will help bolster that team while they adjust to having 14 freshmen and sophomores who’ve never played a college game. Nonetheless, the Lakers should be able to steal some points this weekend. They have the edge in being a month into their season. Can’t wait to watch.
 
It was nice to see the uscho article call out how good the RPI broadcasts are (very easy and FREE to watch) and challenge other programs to follow. It is crazy P5 schools can't do a better job in the broadcasts.
