Analysis
Sioux fans would like to thank the SCSU Huskies for beating the Pioneers.
I guess this week Sioux fans become Tigers fans this weekend? I cheer for two teams the Fighting Sioux and who ever is playing the dirty Minnesota Golden Gophers.

I guess this weekend I am a Real Huskies fan. Minnesota State Mankato takes three out of four points against the Badgers. Not without some controversy though. Another series and another game/series that Todd Anderson screws up big time. I think it is time for Todd Anderson to lose his job reffing in the WCHA.

Non-Conference
Alaska 0 at Alaska-Anchorage 3

Analysis
The 9th place team in the WCHA swept the 4th place team from the CCHA in a weekend series. The more impressive fact is that Fairbanks was shutout two games in a row.
