The Polls and a Look Back

@ChrisDilks I voted Qpac 1, but would find it hard to rip anyone voting for an 18-2-2 team that hasn't lost or tied in almost 2 months.

A Blue Jay landed on my window and showed me this. Basically, I've said this for years. The weekly polls are fun to look at and discuss, but in the end, the play on the ice is the only thing that matters. Right?

@ChrisDilks @SchlossmanGF they're pretty equal

Whew, UND Finishes on Top in Final USCHO Poll

Ha, we joked about this yesterday. I am sure that some of the eastern based/biased college hockey media had a tough time putting the University of North Dakota in the top spot of the final poll. That being said, this one was was a slam dunk and a no-brainer. In my humble opinion, think Denver should actually be number two.

Matthew and Candace Predict that UND sweeps WMU

Candace Horgan and my buddy Mattew Semisch have been pretty accurate this season in their weekly predictions. So, if haven't seen it, they break down the NCHC's weekend matchups.

Western Michigan at No. 2 North Dakota Candace: North Dakota gets a sweep and wins the Penrose outright. North Dakota 4-1, 3-1 Matthew: Difficult to see anything other than a UND sweep here. North Dakota 3-1, 3-1. (USCHO NCHC Blog)
