With us it was highway robbery.. very often on the road.. sometimes they broke in at home as well..

They were armed with sticks.. came in groups of five.. this happened several times over the course of the season. Some had scary masks.

Too many to name.

For next year the goal is to have one of the bottom two teams, who don't even qualify for the HEA tournament, be placed into the NCAA field as an at-large selection. To achieve this feat, the conference is shooting for an even greater degree of top-to-bottom mediocrity (disguised as "parity")

That almost happened this year.

Why didn't they take note of that small college in Hockey East?

Before starting your own thread, please view this public service announcement.

Please allow this thread to serve as your place to complain about the PWR, the committee, the smoke-filled room or your misinformed views about why undeserving teams like Alabama-Huntsville, RIT and Bemidji stole your team's spot. This is also a good place to ***** about your coach, the referees, the RPI formula, KRACH and the entire process.

This version of the thread even promises entertaining topics such as the Big Ten Hockey Conference, Joe Thornton being traded, Giada's Melons, Merrimack being kicked out of Hockey Rast, #26 Union, the playoff chances of St, Clooud, a symposium on the many hackings of Freddy Meyer and the always-popular college hockey video game.

We have the Waambulance standing by and extra tissues handy.

We also have several types of cheese to go along with whatever whine you prefer. We promise you'll get your just desevrings!







What are the odds this works?

It is beyond me how anyone thinks Bemidji is an undeserving team. They are there because they earned it. As Far as Alabama Huntsville, didn't they make it in the same way that Michigan made it, Having some hot games and winning their tournaments?

Well, duh- that would be Michigan.

Wisconsin had to get the play in auto bid.

What I don't get is why Minnesota, Michigan State, and Ohio State did't get their semi-auto bids.

They're getting a bye into the Final Four to help attendance

I'm sure WSU's 75 fans will put Ford Field attendance over the top.

Simple math.

Yea I know, simple math. Better overall record then Alaska, higher finish in regular season standings, higher RPI, more wins over TUCs but it always comes back to that simple math. And yes I know Alaska won the head to head, I guess that is the simple math portion of it.

How can a podunk Fooper STD-infested teacher's college with admissions standards of "color inside the lines" make it to the dance, yet a world-renowned Upper Peninsula engineering school with 3 NCAA championships, a brazillion Frozen Fours and one of the most legendary coaches to grace the sport sits home?

FIRE JAMIE RUSSELL!

But enough about Lake State - they jobbed Michigan Tech too.

If you really want to see the hockey newbies go to http://myespn.go.com/s/conversations/show/story/5012918

Scooby is needed.

I'll take solace in the fact that here on USCHO most everyone can add 1 and 1 and get 2.

Over on ESPN from what I read they can't add.

I just read the ESPN comments...they can't add or subtract. I particularly like the guy commenting that Maine was in the top 3 of HE all year and that what does it matter what OOC schedules are for the tourney.. So it's like saying the Red Sox had the best intra division record in the AL East but got crushed by the central and west but because they had the best intra division record they deserve to go to the playoff's. So overall records don't matter...

Personally, I think that "taking the defending Nat'l Champion to a 3rd game in the playoffs" should count more than that random Pairwise thing
