    According to Damon Whitten (from a couple of years ago,) Minnesota-Duluth lost interest, causing it to fall by the wayside. That was part of the reason behind LSSU trying to setup non-conference series with NMU and Tech.

      It doesn't make much sense when 3 teams are in the same conference. You'd end up playing non-conference against teams in your conference, which is a completely idiotic idea.

        Last season, NMU and LSSU played a home and home non-conference series. It may seem odd to play such a series, but it helped travel costs for both teams and enabled them to each get another home game.

          And did absolutely nothing to help the PWR of either team. Pointless, unless you don't give a rip about PWR, in which case, why play at all?

              Sub a 14 hour bus ride to Mercyhurst for LSSU. How much more positive would the pairwise done then?

                It's a real shame it didn't continue....so I could visit LSSU for some reason.

                  A loss is a loss, but those were opportunities. Missed opportunities, but opportunities nonetheless.

                    Tech could have made the tourney last year with 1 additional win against Army. So, yes, 1 additional game against a poor non conference opponent can have an impact. Its really simple math.

                      Tech could have made the Tourney with an additional win against several teams.

                        Just positioning for the GLI. The year Tech destroyed UM on our home ice, we lost a squeaker at the GLI. That is our motivation this year, after doing everything but winning at Yost, including out fanning your fans, we plan to have a fun GLI in another heated matchup with Red's crew. Hopefully, the refs are neutral this time around and understand the details of the goalie interference call.

                            What Shirtless said.

                            There is no denying that a non conference win is more helpful in PWR than an additional conference win. To argue otherwise just proves that you don't understand PWR.

                              Michigan has the luxury of playing almost exclusively at home in non-conference. If Tech took the Michigan approach of "don't play any road games against good teams, you might lose," they might as well just fold up the program. What's the point of having a team if you're afraid of challenges?
