We have a 1 game win streak against them and honestly they’ve been a good matchup the past couple games (comparatively speaking) with the win and last years senior night almost win. They’re also the last conference team we’ve swept in an away series I think.
On the other hand, as VFTG pointed out in the preview we are in danger of ending with the worst record in NCHC history. If we get 0 points tonight we’ve clinched that title (we could still tie for the lowest amount of conference points ever). We need at least 4 points this weekend to keep CC at the very bottom.
Let’s go hawks! We need some momentum going into grand forks next week.
Chicago guy here. Chicagoland, not the Chicago metroplex (that’s Dallas/FW). Though SBXX was played in '86, they’re known forever as “The '85 Bears.” And you forgot the White Sox who have made the postseason 6 times since 1981 winning the WS once all because of that %&$#ing Jerry Reinsdorf who has to be the %&$#ing worst owner in the major leagues and are, once again, staring down the barrel of yet another dismal season (though they likely won’t win even 80 games this year, I’m not bitter or angry - honest). But your overall point still stands
One of my all time favorite MU hockey players was from Chicago. Name was Tom White. Solid, player on a loaded team. I liked Tom because he was very funny. Dude could make anyone laugh. I bet he’s done well in life.
