    We also got some help from Ferris to put Bowling Green 8 points back. If NMU can steal a point or two from the Falcons next weekend while Tech and Mankato are off, that will help some more.

      All this winning is making me hungry for playoffs. I hope it isn't doing the same thing for the team, as there is still work to be done!

        Tech sweeps by a 15-1 margin to their 8th consecutive win... and drops from 6th to 7th, thanks to Michigan getting swept.
        Tech is tied with BU behind MI for 2nd in offense (3.75) and is 2nd in defense to Yale (1.78 Goals against)

        Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

          If MI swept MN, Tech would be 4th...

              Offensively I'm with ya, but defensively, man we give the puck away a lot and we struggle with that heavy forecheck. We have to get better at that, we have to not get so retaliatory too.

              but yeah, nice to see us do so well. it's been a really long time.

                  The MacNaughton is in your grasp. The 'Nooks got it done and only gave Mankato a point. Now it's on you. As my second favorite WCHA team, go get it. If it can't be us, it might as well be you and it better not be these same purple cows who obviously failed drama class.

                    Kind of dislike leaving the cold-blooded assassins idle at home for a week when they're on a roll. Hopefully they keep the killer instinct alive over the break.

                      I'm pretty sure he was just referring to the points situation, not how Mankato is playing. There is not doubt as far as I'm concerned that Mankato is still the best team in the nation, I think most other teams in their situation would have gotten blown out on Saturday.

                        7 of the top 13 PWR (and all the top 5 KRACH) were in the WCHA in 2012-13.

                          I'm really hating the QWB right now. There is no way to prove if the NCHC teams really are that inch better but because they all play each other they get way more opportunities at the bonus...MTU would be in 4th without the bonus right now. Sweeping mankato will help a ton but MTU only has four games left while all of the NCHC plays 6 which just compounds the QWB issue.

                          Mtu really needs Michigan and BSU to go on a roll and win out til at least the tournaments. Getting a bonus from all 4 wins vs BSU could be huge.

                            Not to mention BSU going on a roll means MSU losses!

                              I don't care much about where Tech lands in the brackets if they make the tournament, but based on my highly subjective in-person viewing of some of the highly ranked teams, we matched up most closely to UMD - very, very close in skill and execution. We were a little worse than Mankato, and a little bit better than BG. So I think we're slightly underrated in PWR right now but it could even out by the end - I can see MI winning most of their games against OSU, WI, Penn State, Mich State to climb back in the rankings.
                              But my own wish for the rest of the regular season is to beat the snot of out NMU in revenge for getting beat by them at home. That game was heartbreaking.

                                Yes, you have some adversity, but the top teams find ways to overcome. The last time Tech and Mankato met in Houghton, Tech had everything to lose (undefeated, #1 national ranking) and they lost a pair of one-goal games to the Mavs. Now the shoe is on the other foot and Mankato has everything to lose in their building (1st in WCHA, #1 ranking).

                                Regardless of the reasons, Mankato and Tech sit one point apart going into their next match up with the WCHA championship on the line. Both just came back from AK and both have an extra week to think about it. Mankato has the advantage of home ice and the disadvantage of all the pressure to win. I don't think anyone in the world of college hockey is going to say that Mankato is more than marginally better that Tech and when the teams are that close, anything can happen.

                                If you're trying to convince me that UAF is such a tough team, then explain Tech sweeping them at home and MSU splitting with them at home and getting only 1 point on the road. Would Mankato love to play UAF will a full roster? Sure. Just as I'm sure the Huskies would love a do over against Michigan in the GLI and the night they got shut out by WI so every team is going to have tough nights, it's part of the grind of making it through the regular season.

                                The two teams are going to decide it head to head in two weeks and there is a good chance it won't be the last time they see each other this season.
