WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids

Re: WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids

If UAA plays like they did last weekend a split is definitely a possibility.

I really hope for them to do well last year, but they took some WCHA teams to OT down the stretch and still missed the playoffs. Someone get Mantha some goals!

Well, more of the same from the BG Falcons in their season opener. Control the play, outshoot the other team by double digits, but nobody can bury a shot to save their lives......arggh.

No way we should have lost that game to WMU, but we did. Outplayed Western for at least 50 of 60 minutes with nada to show for it.

BG really needs somebody to step up a be able to finish a freaking play......but we have for 3 years now for that matter. Never seen a program that can miss so many open nets or hit the post on the open net.

For us, I've never seen a team shoot it more square in the chest of the opposing goalie.

And how would you like them to do that? Fine teams that do it? It’s easy for you to say at BG where you have UM, MSU, OSU, WMU, Robert Morris, Meecyhurst, Penn State, Miami, Niagara, Canisius & Notre Dame all within a five hour bus ride. NMU has Tech, LSSU & UMD in that same radius.

Apparently, scheduling home non-conference games hasn't exactly been easy at BG either.

I know one night doesn't make a season, but tonight has been a good night :cool:

It’s good to see State do that. It sounds like they have an even swap coming with NMU in the future as well.

Pretty good start to the season for the WCHA to have a chance at 2 bids. Big wins by both MSU and Bemidji. Thought Alaska was gonna come up with one for the first two periods as well

I don't think it's so much the egos, as simply getting as many home games as possible. Bergeron has said from the beginning that "we're not going to play anybody that's not willing to play us on equal terms." And they've stuck with it.

If teams were willing to do 2 for 1, why wouldn't you? If the smaller schools would have stuck together, and nobody settled for a 2 for 1 agreement, they wouldn't have happened. The big schools need the little schools as much as vice versa.

Big NC wins by MSU, BSU and BGSU last night! Keep it rolling!

I didn't watch either Alaska game, but I watched parts of FSU-NMU, MTU-LSSU, and BSU-UMD on WCHA.tv, all with a native app on a Fire TV streaming off of my LTE hotspot (way to go, Fire TV, for not supporting WPA2-Enterprise so I could use the NASA BYOD wifi network). All three feeds looked great. I still had to put up with the truly weird intonations of the LSSU PBP guy, but it was a very good experience all told. I do wish that they had a Roku app, because my new office TV is a Roku-based TV (which, okay, whatever, it's 4K HDR for under $350 at 43"). I really can't believe how good it was.

NMU@FSU looked like horsesh** for me. There was interlacing and really bad artifacting at times. It appeared to be a 480i camera with 720p graphics.

The ASU@AF game looked miles better. 1080p quality.
