Weakest top seed?

Re: Weakest top seed?

There are no weak #1 seeds. Anyone who has watched Yale without a bias knows they are a hell of a team and deserve their #1 seed no matter what happens from here on. Basically, this same team beat North Dakota in the first round last year, gave BC their best game of the tourney, and has only improved this year. As for the others, BC, UND and Miami pretty much speak for themselves at this point.
 
Re: Weakest top seed?

Have the four conference champions of the "Big Four" ever constituted the four #1 seeds before this season?

Now you had to go mess up this thread with logic. Each team has their unique strengths and subtle weaknesses. Miami can score in bunches, play tough defense and has two decent goalies. Add a Hobey finalist, also. North Dakota is probably more physical, defensively imposing and has equal scoring punch with Frattin. BC is small but extremely quick, offensively talented with a solid defensive system. Yale's biggest asset seems to be its offense, including an imposing power play. Don't know much about them, eager to see them in action.
