Three things: Feb. 22 and it’s still bonkers in the WCHA

1. Still Crazy After All These Weeks Down to two weeks (and four games) remaining in the regular season and nothing has yet been decided. What else did you expect from the wild WCHA? This week featured… nothing, really. That is to say: No teams clinched anything and nobody was eliminated from anything,. Both first-place … Read more

WCHA Weekend Picks, Feb. 20-21

Three weeks left in the regular season and…. four teams are off this week. Not sure why it worked out what way because it definitely would have been more exciting to have all 10 teams in action for ever game in the final month of the season. Oh well… C’est la vie. Six teams are in … Read more

Three things: Top teams keep winning as WCHA winds down

A few things from the weekend that was in the WCHA: 1. Ho hum: Mavericks keep on rolling It’s starting to get almost boring: Minensota State got another conference sweep this weekend, and once again they scored a ton of goals in the process.

WCHA picks, Jan. 30-31

Shane here … The WCHA race is heating up. I’m curious to see how much of it comes down to the wire like it did last season when the MacNaughton Cup, home ice and the final playoff spots all came down to the final weekend. It’s a six-week sprint, starting now – or at least … Read more

Three things from the WCHA, Jan. 26

1. State champions Coming into this weekend’s North Star College Cup, Bemidji State were afterthoughts. As the lone unranked team in the competition, the Beavers didn’t get much chatter prior to their game Friday against No. 7 Minnesota Duluth. Beating the Bulldogs 4-0 changed that a little. Winning the whole damn thing on Saturday — … Read more

WCHA picks: Jan. 23-24

Jack here. We’re almost 2/3rds of the way through the college hockey season. In the WCHA, that means… well, it means we’re probably nowhere near close to figuring out which team is going to win the MacNaughton Cup, but we maybe have a decent idea. Right now Minnesota State holds an eight-point first-place lead and … Read more

WCHA picks: Jan. 8-10

I love these weeks, and there needs to be more of them. It’s good for the WCHA when all 10 WCHA teams are in action, especially when they’re all playing against each other, which is the case this weekend. It’s just the second time this season that it has happened, but it gets everyone paying … Read more
