The WCHA is really just a mirage with all that "depth" they have.
RIT 4X
Merrimack 4X
RPI 2X
I don't think you can claim conference wide dominance when this is the majority of your out of conference schedule!
The depth is the differentiator between the top few teams and the rest of the field. Don't kid yourself, if you have 2 lines you can compete with any team in NCAA Div 1. If you are fortunate enough to have depth at 3rd and 4th lines (like only 2 or 3 teams have) you are the cream at the top.

Have you looked at the 'lower' half of the WCHA vs. outside competition? hmm..

Never would have guessed that would be your thought. The WCHA is good, but not nearly as good as you claim. The only real difference is depth.

Originally posted by Timothy A View PostA couple very interesting calls against MN, a faceoff violation and embellishment. You don't see those every day. That 2nd period must have been brutal to watch flow-wise. Both teams were 1-6 on the PP. MN had 5 sog on their last one late in the 3rd, they didn't go down without a fight.

MN-Gate....Watts a penalty-fest, especially the 2nd period. A couple very interesting calls against MN, a faceoff violation and embellishment. You don't see those every day.

To clarify this was the 1 period on the weekend where Maine outscored Clarkson. Maine was not winning in the second period of game 2, they were down 2-1. Clarkson scored the first two goals in both games, first 3 in the first game. Other than one period, a dominant performance by Clarkson.

Giguere showing up on UMD was a surprise to me. Her and 25 are a nice line.

maine over clarkson.
Game 2 period 2: Maine 1 Clarkson 0
Other than that: Finals were Clarkson 4-1 and 5-2
Clarkson's first line of David 5G/1A, Lonergan 1G/5A and Goodwin 1G/2A were the difference in these games.

1 observation about Minn... they were not scary on the rush, something lesser ranked teams manage to achieve. Yes Hurst D play conservatively and players get back but Minnesota rush effort is individual and would end with a player maybe making a fancy move to beat last D, but would be angled enough to the outside that they were non threatening. Heise was the Minn star in the half game I watched.
As for the Lakers, third time this year they were shutout. They had tons of chances to tie the game early in the 2nd and couldn’t do it. NYStrom played fantastic and gave them a chance but by the third was worn down. Unfortunate seeing them get shutout.
Not surprising to see Hurst beat BC. So few chances at playing Hockey East, the Lakers are always going to get up for that. Good bounce back from the Lakers to set up an exciting conference series vs Cuse next week.
