Hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger look at the games of the past weekend and news of the week.
The top three teams all season in the USCHO.com Division I men’s ice hockey poll remain undefeated: North Dakota, Boston College, and Minnesota Duluth. They’re joined by a 6-0 Minnesota.
In the NCHC Pod, despite an 0-3 record, Denver is playing well and 2-2 Omaha is off to a strong start.
Weekend upsets include Michigan Tech over Minnesota State and two splits: Merrimack with UMass and Mercyhurst with Bowling Green.
World Junior camp is underway, leaving a lot of holes for top teams and leaving out three Boston University players because of COVID-19 protocol.
Wisconsin on Monday announced it’s on a pause.
And a bit of a rant – the first of the season! – from Ed about what people don’t get about the aforementioned USCHO.com poll.
