Wisconsin Hockey 25-26 Hastings Year 3 - Turning the Corner?

You're not wrong. I jist feel like it mirrors the Badgers in 17-18, Granato's 2nd year. Had all the momentum after coming up just short of the NCAAs and winning 20 to blowing the team off to coach the olympics. Now, Im not saying its not a great honor. But the timing was awful, it derailed the team, and signaled (IMHO) he looked at the UW prgm as a way to build NHL players, not win Championships.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the Spengler Cup at the end of December? It looks like the PSU players played against Minnesota (besides Fink).

Even with Fink at the beginning of the year, PSU lost to Clarkson, needed OT to beat Long Island, and needed a goal with 22 seconds left to avoid going to OT against Stonehill.
 
I’m a bit surprised that Pulver got both starts but it sounds like he was outstanding.

To come back and win in OT after giving up a late goal, and the home team having all the momentum, shows a lot of fortitude - no way the team last year gets this done.
 
I know the pair-wise ranking formula positively weighs wins over highly ranked opponents.
Are wins on the road also considered more valuable than wins at home?
