Hatten recaps St. Cloud State's home-and-home split with Bemidji State, Schlossman reviews North Dakota's Las Vegas loss to Arizona State, Myers discusses Minnesota's split at Ohio State and Wellens talks about Minnesota Duluth getting back on track with two wins over Cornell.

Myers also discusses the WCHA series between the top two ranked women's teams (Ohio State and Minnesota), Wellens tackles a series split for the UMD women against visiting Wisconsin and Hatten talks about the home-and-home sweep for SCSU over St. Thomas.

There were some more odd penalties called over the weekend to add to the season's collection. The question of the week is what were the surprises in college hockey's first month of the season?
