Hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger look back at the weekend and news of the week.

North Dakota clinched the Penrose Cup as the NCHC regular season champion.

Boston College’s sweep and BU’s OT win seem to make it a three-horse race in Hockey East with UMass, but the HEPI formula leaves that murky to outsiders.
