Both Michigan St. and Wisconsin took it on the chin last night, by Minnesota and Penn State respectively, in their Big Ten home openers. I'm expecting the BTHC to be 'Upset Central' this season due to a relatively even level of strength among the league members.
I heard, from a source who is well-connected in such matters, that spiraling travel costs could lead to a shuffle of teams between conferences as soon as this off-season. I'd be surprised if it happened that soon, but believe the landscape of college hockey is ripe for change as the Arizona's make their entrance and less financially strong teams try to hang on.
