The Duke of Earl reminds us:
>> 1. The Cats are unbeaten in their last 28 games
>> (both a NMU and WCHA record)
>> 2. The Cats haven't lost at home in 35 straight games
Actually, I think these are significant and worth watching. I had forgotten
about them. NMU is now 10 games from tying the modern NCAA unbeaten streak,
held by RPI (36-0-2 from Nov 17, 1984 to Nov 16, 1985). I hope I remembered
it correctly; I was managing the Engineers for the final 3 games of that
streak! (Yale broke it at the Whale after an opening 12-2 trouncing of
Toronto, a 4-3 OT win at St Lawrence, and a 1-1 tie at Clarkson.)
The all-time record is held by Dartmouth, 46 from 12/23/41 to 1/5/46.
I don't have any numbers on home unbeaten streaks.

Sorry I don't have the numbers here. If no one (i.e. Duke) posts it by the
time I find out, I will post it.

I don't know, I guess they have the right to crow until someone takes that
championship away! :-) But I just thought Duke was pointing out those streaks
since no one else here had done so...not a problem.

A good point! Good luck on keeping it that way...sorry Coach Schafer, good
luck to the Irish too. :-)
