brianvf Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2020/11/18_What-Will-This-Season-Look.php Quote We know that the Pairwise — the system for selecting and seeding the NCAA Tournament — is meaningless this year, thanks to a lack of non-conference games. That means the Men's Ice Hockey Committee will have its hands full, picking the field solely via opinion (and automatic bids) for the first time in over 30 years. Expand I did get a chuckle out of this: Quote Minnesota coach Bob Motzko said the lack of fans is not as much of a challenge as the condensed schedule and travel. Expand Of course that won't be a challenge for UMN, they play in front of no fans all the time at home. 3 Quote

SiouxForever Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 They should just do like a 24 team playoff format this year. 32 roughly half the field, is too much and with 9+ teams not playing this year etc. that doesn't make sense. Quote

brianvf Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 LIU wins their first game in their very first game played. Crazy how quickly that program came together, especially in the middle of a pandemic. They were outshot 41-15 by Holy Cross but still won in OT. ASU and MSU tie, 1-1. UMN beats PSU, 4-1. Michigan remains undefeated, beating UW 5-2. Quote
SiouxForever Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Michigan continues the early wins. Imo, they’ll be better than Minnesota and your Big Ten front runner. Quote
