Minnesota-Duluth is Team of the Week after sweeping Minnesota. And the Bulldogs know better than anyone what early-season wins like that mean. We talk about that and more with one of their key forwards, Tanner Laderoute, and about his growth into a leadership role. Lots of talk about the NCHC, Hockey East, strong starts by ECAC teams Colgate and Quinnipiac, and Cornell's first exhibition game. Plus in the Mailbog, we discuss Wisconsin, analytics, conference movement, and more.
