NCHC dominance

7 of 10 last champions are NCHC. Why do we not talk about how dominant this conference is? Playing DU, ND, UMD and now WM 4 times a year is a gauntlet most people do not want to acknowledge as the gauntlet it is. NONE of the hockey podcasts I listen to even venture into this and still spend so much time talking about useless big ten and east coast teams.

You bring up a good point. But I wouldn't go so far as to claim B1G and other conferences are useless, I hate eating my words in the future.......
 
I'm resurrecting my crappy old thread. Anybody betting against NCHC from going 8 for 11 this year? Go ahead...take your highly ranked, hardly tested MI teams. I'll take the NCHC yet again. It was nice to finally hear a little love on the podcast for what must be about the first time ever. Dogs just won 5-2, saw the Northern Lights two nights this week in Duluth, got the weekend off and have a cold Caribou Lake by my computer. Life is good. GO Bulldogs and keep crushing it NCHC!!
 
It's NCHC time again!! I hope that UMD, DU, UND and WM get put in four separate regions in the tournament just because if they do I think we'll have an all NCHC final four. You betting against it? Anybody betting against Denver right now? Against UMD with best line in the country, top five pp and penalty kill and Gajan playing lights out??!! I'm pulling for UMD first and NCHC going 8 for 10 after that.

This is all old thinking. With the addition of the CHL player all records and National Championships etc. mean nothing but long ago history. This is the first year of the modern era so going forward that's how teams will be remembered.
