Re: Can we all agree
I do believe in the Pair wise rankings there appears to be 4 Hockey East teams in the top 10......
They won't all get to the Frozen 4 as the NCAA sets the tourney up so they can't get a replay of the Anahiem mess when it became an all HE tourney after the first game when Michigan State was sent packing

You apparently slept through 2005. Don't feel bad. Most of us outside of the WCHA did the same.

I agree with all of your points. Great analysis!
I was thinking of ways we can unite the community and since stats do not lie. Can we all agree that the CCHA has already sewn up "The Most Dominate Conference of 2012 title?
Now I know some may think I have jumped the gun in giving the CCHA the title before the tourney or even before the field is chosen. But consider these facts...
The CCHA has a winning record against all other conferences except the HEA where the CCHA broke even.
Their overall interconference winning precentage is a lofty .703. and before you say thats because they beat up on UAH, consider this their win precentage against the big 4 is .613.
Then when you add in that the CCHA will most assuredly have 4 teams in the tourney and maybe 6
The CCHA has 9 of 11 teams in the top 20 pairwise, and 3 in the top 7 possibly 2 number 1 seeds.
On another note can we all agree to rename the WCHA tourney after Michigan Tech is eliminated. I think it should be call the Pre NCHC Tourney 2012
I agree with all of your points. Great analysis!

Congrats to the CCHA for taking home the UNH Award this year. Well deserved.

Isn't it cute how Hockey East fans watching their ESPN keep thinking that "they" are the power of college hockey?

Re: Can we all agree
which is why the WCHA FF in 2005 is so spectacular. I think we can all agree that it was the greatest conference ever.
Of historical note, this tournament marked the first time in NCAA history, in any Division, in any sport, male or female, that the 4 semi-finalists all hailed from the same conference. The University of Denver, Colorado College, University of Minnesota, and University of North Dakota are all members of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association [WCHA].

Re: Can we all agree
My hope and expectation is one thing, but I also won't be shocked if HE actually is the best conference for a while. It certainly wasn't the WCHA this year.
My hope, and I think it is pretty legit, is that after next season, there will no longer be one powerhouse conference. I really think that HE, NCHC and B6 will be relatively even. I could certainly be wrong, but my point was that, in the face of evidence, I have seen a number of fans of HE teams who seem to believe that HE has always been the dominant conference. And I think that's cute.Enjoy the WCHA while it lasts.
