        Thats one way to do it, I guess?

        If you wanted to see your team's name more, you should have asked: "Best D-1 team in southern Connecticut that plays in a venue over 40 years old"

          Typical of a person associated with Yale.

          Federal League wins the thread.

            That might be Sacred Heart, but I am not sure if the Milford Ice Pavilion is over 40 yet
            Good article about the restoration of the Yale Whale,

              Yale has a good team, no doubt. However, until the ECAC starts to regain some sort of success in the NCAA tournament, these teams' records are going to be taken with a grain of salt. It seems every year lately the ECAC teams are dissapointing in the national tournament.

                Very true and point well taken. Speaking only of New England I do not feel Hockey East is as well respected on the national level as they once were. Overall the ECAC is on the upswing on the national scene as a conference, I do not believe that upswing will be enough to have three teams make the final 16, unless Union or Cornell wins the conference final, then there is a chance.

                  I don't think I can agree with that. Although Hockey East is a little down this year, if they can't get any respect with the last two national champions, I don't know what it would take?!

                      Should have said "this year" about HE. I forgot how great the tournament was last year, too wrapped up in this years goings on.

                        Yale. They have incredible depth and routinely outshoot opponents by 30. The shots aren't weak shots either. Many are quality scoring chances. I've seen other top teams in the nation play this year(St. Cloud, Miami, Wisc.) and Yale is as good or better than them. They tied Wisconsin earlier this year and Wisconsin was lucky to get a tie. Yale outshot them 45- 20. And as of this week no team is hotter than Yale. They have won their last 6 and 8 of their last 10.

                          What is the story with 4 Yale goalies seeing decent playing time?

                            HE is alot like the WCHA was last year, lots of good but not spectacular teams middling in the 10-25 range. Dont forget how much talent the conference lost to the pros last year.

                              You would have to ask Coach Keith Allain about that issue. In the last two games Yale had Billy Blase pulled in favor of another goalie against SLU and then he replaces the pulled goalie with Blase against Clarkson. I can only hope, that being former goalie that Allain knows what he is doing, or just being very reactionary. I hope it is all a master plan to keep all of the netminders on thier toes. At first it was just evaluating talent, now who knows. I am afraid it will become Yales Achilles heel at some point in the near future.
