Last week’s heralded matchups, were all in the CCHA, but before we get into them, perhaps the biggest news would be that Michigan Tech delivered a loss and a tie to last week’s #2 Denver.  The loss was rather dramatic as Michigan Tech prevailed 7-2, and the result of the weekend was that Denver dropped…

Last weekend saw a good number of upsets and a lot of musical chairs in the top ten ranked teams.  I also received a couple of requests to expand the coverage beyond the top twelve, so I’ll give it a go; normally I do this later in the season, and only for a while. Let’s…
