Why replay isn’t always the answer, more losses among top four teams, tight conference races: Weekend Review episode 16

August 24, 2020January 28, 2019 by USCHO Podcasts

25 Jan 19: The University of Minnesota Golden Gophers host the University of Wisconsin Badgers in B1G matchup at 3M at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis, MN. (Jim Rosvold)

An injury to a player for No. 20 North Dakota that didn’t draw a penalty on No. 1 St. Cloud drew the ire of many on Friday, but the vantage point of properly positioned officials and limitations on how replay can be used explain why there wasn’t a call. Hosts Jim Connelly (@JimmyConnelly) and Ed Trefzger (@EdTrefzger) delve into the issue and discuss some ways to improve the process.

Besides the split between the Fighting Hawks and Huskies, No. 2 UMass split with Maine, which may help the Black Bears cement a Hockey East playoff spot, and No. 13 Western Michigan made a statement by sweeping No. 4 Denver.

It was a good weekend for No. 14 Providence in a sweep of No. 8 Northeastern in a home-and-home series.

No. 17 Arizona State’s PairWise volatility points to its need to win to make the NCAA tournament.

Plus: a quick look at bunched up standings across the six conferences.
