WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

I was planning on running one this year, but if you know someone who wants to run it, I'd be happy to turn it over.

I always enjoy the WCHA Pick Em. If you want to keep it I'm in this year. If you want to pass it on, let me know. I can pick it up.

That BU game vs Union is why any team going in to Boston does so at the risk of the referees. Here we have a 1-1 hockey game late. I would have said before the game, if it's even or behind late, look for the refs to even things up for BU. Sure enough, 7 minutes left on the power play, BU scores. now it;s a nice goal and then they score two empty net goals, so it looks one sided, but it was close game, decided by the referees.
So all you Mankato fans. be ready. BU was probably the better team, but Union was good and deserved not to be screwed.

Might as well subtract out the the 2 non-conference games (next weekend) between LSSU and NMU. It's an automatic wash in terms of comparing WCHA records versus other conferences so there's no value in including those 2 games.

Same for the two UAF/UAA non-conference tilts.

I keep the non-conference, interleague games on the schedule listed, but they do not get figured into the overall league record since they are a wash for the league (hence the "4-6 Interleague Games (Not counted in league total)"). They do get figured into the team record though, since they would play a roll in a teams Pairwise Ranking.

I really wish the conference would put an end to playing conference teams in non-conference games.
