I would guess you are right - if there was a conversation between the NCHC and BC, it probably went like this: NCHC "Hey, BC, we are starting a new conference, would you like to join?" BC "Thanks for the call, no thanks."
Big series for sure. I think they will need to finish at least 5 and 3 to win the Penrose. Sweep Denver, split at WMU, sweep St. Cloud and split with Miami for a little breathing room. Nothin to it.
It reminds me....lots of comments about Hak not making game changes and losses because of that. But a very vivid memory for me is the FF game in St. Paul. Actually one particular moment in the game - there was a Sioux player 15 feet right in front of the net all alone with the puck and shot and missed the net by at least a foot. The point is the players need to make plays to win games like that! For those that don't remember, we lost 1-0 (OK 2-0 with the ENG). The player that missed the shot? Matt Frattin.
