Another week, another #1 team.  For just the 2nd time in school history Minnesota-Duluth is the top ranked team in the country.  Hockey East holds the 2nd and 3rd ranked spots as well as two other in the top ten.

Pretty much the same for the USA Hockey/USA Today poll.

Duluth also grabs the top spot in INCH’s Power Rankings.

The Collegian has their recap of the weekend.

Dick Baker has captain Paul Dainton’s thoughts on Saturday’s game.  He also takes a look at the great game T.J. Syner had that night.

A couple people have asked me when the last time UMass was winless this far into the season.  That would be 1994-95, the second year of the program’s rebirth and its first year playing a true DI schedule and member of Hockey East.  That team started 0-13-1, not getting their first win until a New Year’s Eve tilt against Notre Dame, in overtime no less.  Included in that losing streak was a 4-0 loss at home to Princeton and then Tiger coach Toot Cahoon.
