    Players of the Week have been released.

    I'm sorry, but if you post back-to-back shutouts, you shouldn't be sharing the defensive player award with anyone - especially when the listed credentials for the co-winner are all offensive stats. I'd much rather see Headrick share the Offensive Player award - don't put him in the other category just because he's listed as a defenseman. And to be honest, he deserved that one all by himself as well.

      Why doesn't the WCHA have a goaltender of the week? They should keep goalies and defensemen separate.

        I agree with you, so you're not the only person who has had that mindset. Perhaps the awards should be "Offensive Performance of the Week," and "Defensive Performance of the Week." Then, however, you run into the difficulty of determining how well a defenseman does his job with quantifiable stats and setting it apart from a goaltending performance. I suppose there's plus/minus and blocked shots, but those don't necessarily paint the whole picture either.

              Mankato should have a good weekend, and you'd be wise to pick sweeps and overtime in Big Rapids.

                  What the heck is wrong with Ferris? I don't think anyone had them starting 0-6.

                          Michigan Tech is far from awful. Not good enough but far from awful or beyond.

                            BG's problems are two fold.

                            1) They have had a hard time adjusting to the amount of penalties being called. With nearly half the game being played in special teams they have been unable to use all 4 of their lines regularly. 5 on 5 they have outscored their opponents by a wide margin. PK has been an adventure, part of that PK issue is their other problem......

                            2)Their goalies have been very poor. Nell has shown no hint of the goalie he has been the last 2 season. His father passed away right before the season, not saying that is it(and that would be understandable), but he is just not the same goalie he has been. Ryan Bednard is a true freshman that has played in one game and got pulled. He is a Panthers draft pick, but he looked nervous in his only start.....maybe he can get his feet under him and be the guy until Nell gets his head on straight.

                            Bottom line is until they stop taking penalties and/or get better goaltending they will continue to struggle.

                              We've seen everyone in WCHA play at this point save UAA — conversely, UAH has played 21% of their league slate. This is a weird year for the league. I figure that we'll have a half-decent handle on the league by mid-November. But how would you rate them?

                                It's interesting, but we have to get more ooc wins as a group.
