WCHA 26-27 Season Thread

Wisconsin lost its lone first place vote from last week by not playing.

UW lost that 1st place vote to tOSU who swept Colgate (and UW earlier). It's hard to fault the pollsters on how they have the Buckeyes ranked.
 
Last week...

Lindenwood at BT Rats. Rats BOOMED them in game 1 and allowed a more sporting outcome in game 2. How nice of them.
MSU represented for us very well. Nicely done.
BSU at SCU. The huskies ate sweets, but they were reasonable in their portions.
Colgate at TWSNBN. Fascinatingly boring.

This week. Many players missing from teams. LAME
UW at St. Cloud - St. Cloud continues to feast on bottom 4 teams.
BSU at TWSNBN - yawn
MSU at STU - can the Tommiettes keep MSU winless in the wcha?
BTRs at UMD - The colors on the ice won't be more ugly than this weekend. I believe the BTR's dodge a date with a supposed all world goalie.

The NPI is all that matters and it's too early to get a good ranking.

Logic is dead. The UW men decisively won exhibition game that does not count for anything and move up 4 spots in the men's poll.

I was just giving it to Tim not complaining about the vote. You don't get my sense of humor.

My bad. The list of what I don't get is long and ever-growing. Tim is definitely one of the best opportunities for banter here.
 
UW at St. Cloud - St. Cloud, the party is OVAH!
BSU at TWSNBN - yawn
MSU at STU - MSU gets a win in a splitsville series
BTRs at UMD - 2 very underwhelming wins for the BTR's.

This week....

Zippo plays Zero.
Nothing plays Nope.
1-1 plays 2*0.
And the international match......Nichts plays Nada.
 
This week, some teams are still not a full strength.

7 MSU at 8 BSU - BSU trying to get out of the basement
5 UMD at 1 THSNBN - UMD trying to keep up the fight for home ice
Home n home for 2 Rats and 3 Cloudies - Cloudies trying to hold onto the top 4
6 Tommies at 4 BADgers - BADgers trying to not get left behind the top 3

It's going to be a trying week. 🤣

It isn't any fun if you only post the schedule without making any predictions.

OSU sweep. Even with only what they have left they have too many, too good for what UMD has left.
Gophers sweep. Didn't the arena remodel shrink the size of the rink up there? I think both games on the same size sheet works to the favor of the team with more talent.
Badgers sweep. Particularly at home, the red shirts should have little difficulty reminding the purple shirts what the league pecking order still looks like.
Bemidji will not go through the entire season without any points in the standings. This weekend is one of their chances. That said, I don't think they are good enough to sweep any WCHA foe. Split, with Bemidji winning game 1, Mankato bounce back win in game 2.

St Cloud did shrink their ice surface, but it's still wide; 94 feet instead of 100.
 
I think you will see a split this weekend in either the Duluth/Nut series at the shithole or in the St. Cloud/Gopher series at the newly narrowed but still way wider HBNHC

I actually had that some exact thought when I posted that LOL. I struggle with the thought trying to make accurate predictions vs fun predictions. I'd hate to break my 23 year streak of always being right. 😜

There, I fixed that for you.
