Big Ten > NCHC

Re: Big Ten > NCHC

Doesn’t he claim to be a Bison fan too? I just assumed he was trolling the siouxsports football thread.

Dave/speedkills is a troll with personal issues, but I don't think anyone can deny the B1G is becoming a force. And that is good for all hockey fans. For the games and for the banter.

I'll deny it. I think it's still sub-par hockey, but I'll concede it's getting better.

I think the perceived strength of the Big 10 has to do with more so the surprising weakness of Hockey East as of late where ECAC looks to be the power conference out east (and not really). Over the last two seasons the WCHA has been about even with B1G as well. NCHC obviously hasn’t even been close being an outlier but a couple seasons can’t dictate “all time perennial powerhouse”.
Seems like the B1G formation has been a huge leg up for the other MN schools that aren’t the Gophers. I wonder what would happen if at least Mankato if not BSU were added to NCHC.
Overall to me the whole B1G vs NCHC feud is stupid as it is assuming those conferences out east remain soft. How many titles have the ECAC and HE picked up since the last time Michigan State last won a title in 2007? Feels like the Big 10 has been so incredibly mediocre over the years that a decent year feels like a huge victory. Are we going to give Boston College a cookie too when they finally make l it into the tournament again?

B1G has also largely been playing soft OOCs, especially last year, and this year they haven't been winning as many buy games (Michigan losing to UVM and Lake Superior, for example) save for Penn State.

Soft yes, but can’t be so soft since the pairwise would reflect—the beauty of college hockey. Soft schedules has been PSU’s thing. Favorite quote I’ve seen on here “want to make the tournsment-schedule like Penn State. Want to win the tournament-schedule like Notre Dame”. Have to attest to that for UMD’s success as it seems they have been in the top 10 if not top 5 SOS year in and out. Notre Dame and UMD have been scheduling eachother dating back to 2011 and both have been enjoying strong success since. ND even scheduled both UMD and DU last year and while it didn’t help their out of conference win % it definitely had them primed up for the regular season
