2012/13 college hockey season and results

[Shorelunch]

Fun weekend prediction, the Sioux drop a game in Alaska, not sure which game.

UND without 119 points Friday night (Kristo, Knight, Rowney, O'Donnell and Park). If there's an upset, it would be tonight.

[Bear55]

That is the plan. It could work crosseyed and backwards too but odds are on tonight.

[Bear55]

Looks like I picked the wrong upset, Gophs take a beating at the hands of Tech 5-3.

[solbes]

Dogs getting killed in Southbend 4-1. Sounds closer than it is. 3 turnovers leading to goals, help a goalie out.

[solbes]

Weekend WCHA schedule:

Wisconsin at Minnesota Duluth

Alaska Anchorage at North Dakota

Bemidji State at Nebraska Omaha

Minnesota State at St. Cloud State

Michigan Tech at Denver

Colorado College at Cornell

USA Under-18 Team at Minnesota

Wisconsin had itself a "Scooter incident" of its own in an offweek. Also have a NCAA supsension I believe. So maybe some good luck for the Dogs in what might be the last visit by Bucky to Duluth for some time. Hoping McNeely puts up another good start.

State at Cloud could be interesting. State has yet to lose in 4 games.

Maybe Tech steals a game in Denver?

Rooting for the Beavers against Blaisers.

[Bear55]

Tech and State look dangerous this year, some new coaching might be shooting some life into those programs.

SC takes it to State 5-1 but apparently Hanowski got back checked and never returned. Reports say he went to the hospital with concussion like symptoms. So another top player is lost for a while........

[PierBridge]

That's Brutal, you guys can't afford to lose him!

[Bear55]

I win is a win but beating Canisius 1-0 kind of feels like we lost.

[scsavre]

Gophs desperately need a sweep to get things on track. The power play is gonna have a huge weekend and become a difference maker. Since the gophs suck on Fridays and the sue are terrible on Saturdays, do you think they can just become 1 team and alternate each night during non conference play?

[PierBridge]

No ecatly sure what you are asking ... .... But I'll take my usual call of a Split for the Gophers!

[yakfisher]

As long as the gophers lose on Saturday, well I don't care what happens to North Dakota. As long as it is a win for the SIOUX!

[scsavre]

Gophs alternate this weekend and decide to loose Saturday. Sue keep it consistent and loose again on Saturday.

[archerystud]

Huskies host UND this weekend but I'll be hunting. Seems like we always play them in early Nov!!!

Huskies still without Hano and Benik (probably until Xmas) so I'm just hoping for 2 points. Pretty much just hoping for splits against the good teams until those 2 get back....

[solbes]

Dogs playing the Red Land Cows on Sat/Sunday. Maybe my Dad gets NBC Sports and I can watch. That would be great.

[archerystud]

This thread is way TOO quiet, everyone must be out deer hunting?!?!

Denver has already opened up a 4 point lead in the standings. Still early but they are looking tough. At least SCSU beat them once.

SCSU hosts solbes's UMD this coming weekend. Word is Hano wants to return but I haven't heard for sure yet if he will play.

Sorry solbes but I hope my DOG's get 4 points this weekend!!!

[Bear55]

Darn Denver, they lost so much fire power and still come back strong. I am sure this thread will be picking up as we close in on Dec.

[archerystud]

Reply to myself UMD hosts SCSU.

[solbes]

7 game winless streak for the Bulldogs, ouch. The dogs played pretty good up in Grand Forks actually but came away with just 1 point. Some of the freshman are looking pretty good at this stage, McNeely included. But its going to be a painful couple of months.

Huskies are clearly the superior team right now. Bulldogs need to get a win this weekend.

[archerystud]

Ouch!! 7 game winless streak = desparate team.

Hanowski is 50/50 to play. If he's 50/50 with a concussion then I'd rather see him sit another week. Benik will probably be back in 2 weeks.

I'm guessing it will be a split this weekend. Huskies need to get the above 2 players back and improve the up front scoring.

[archerystud]

UMD and SCSU split.

Not a good weekend for the WCHA but at least the Gophers swept. Both Colorado schools lost both nights to Yale and New Hampshire.

[solbes]

WCHA is absolutely terrible this year agains non-cons. That is going to reduce the number teams making the tourney by at least one come March / April.

For Christmas I want a Bulldog win on a Saturday. Any Saturday please.

[archerystud]

Solbes,

Agreed. I know it's VERY early but in PWR right now only Denver would be a lock. MN/ND are 10 and 11 respectively. Six of the top 7 are Eastern schools.

The way the PWR is setup those early season non-conf losses hurt everyone int he conference. Hopefully the WCHA kicks butt in the rest of the non-conference games.

[Bear55]

Its early but I agree, wcha better pick it up around the holidays or we won't land many teams.

[scsavre]

This is an ugly year. Gophs looking lazy and tired as usual. Lucia looks as if he doesn't care and guentzel a defense looks like a bunch of bantams.

Oh and the sue still suck
