What the hell has happened to the Beavers?

What the hell has happened to the Beavers?

Scoring has dried up.... Ever since the Princeton series, the Beavers have been struggling. They may win the MacNaughton, but right now they are going to have to get back to where they were to have a chance at the Broadmoor.

Nice 5-1 W to split with Ferris. Good to see some goals. We appeared to jump to puck quicker tonight. Although tonight was encouraging, we still only split 2-5 and 5-1 at home against a good, but middle of the pack WCHA team.

Here's what each team in the WCHA currently looks like in their last 10 games (shootout/3x3 OT not included):

Tech 5-2-3
MnSt 5-4-1
BGSU 5-5
BSU 4-4-2
UAF 4-5-1
LSSU 3-4-3
UAA 3-4-3
NMU 3-5-2
UAH 3-7
FSU 2-5-3

That says parity. But it also says no one is getting up to make a move.

Re: 2016-2017 WCHA Season Thread

Predictions for Tech at Huntsville, BG at Ferris, and Lake at Mankato.

I'm also looking to randomize the BELOW ratings a bit as inputs for the system prior to integrating this into a probabilistic prediction on the standings. I'm working about how best to do that and really want to have that done for next week.

Well it is a given that BGSU and BSU are going to come back to the pack in some manner since they are two games ahead of everyone else. I'm sure placings and even who is in the playoffs will go down to the final weekend as always considering the current last place team is only 3 wins out of 5th place. There are teams that could jump 2 or 3 places in the standings just with one weekend sweep.

My first and last time to purchase WCHA-TV. It is laughable how terrible this product is for the price that is charged. I would be embarrassed if I was the league to sell it to the public. Don't waste your money folks!

Yeah, the video for the LSSU at Mankato game has yet to work tonight. Just a spinning circle and it says they are experiencing technical difficulties. Sad that they NCHC package cost less and I have had very few issues with it.
