As ESPN's Chris Berman used to say, "And that's why they play the games!"

Berman used this phrase when describing matchups where you have a heavily favored team playing a so-called 'weaker' opponent, because you never really know what you're going to get until they play.

If the 2021-2022 boys hockey season has taught us anything so far, it's that this year might be more wide open than many thought, considering the number of upsets that have already taken place. Here are five games you should check out for this week.
