Re: Who will win the Hockey East Tournament in 2014?
League statistical comparisons of vote distribution rather interesting.
Not surprising to see the WCHA favorite most dominant
However despite the run-away regular season title by BC in HE, it is the league with the most diverse voting.
ECAC, that had the tightest standings was second in voting domination.
In two of four cases, the second highest vote getter was the third place team. (ECAC and HE)
League........... % 1st .......... % 2nd........ Teams w votes
WCHA.............80% (1).........15% (2)..... 3/8
ECAC..............70% (1).........13% (3)..... 5/8
CHA................60% (1).........20% (2)..... 5/6
HE..................54% (1).........25% (3)..... 6/8

WHEA is also probably the conference with the most diverse group of partisans on this board, which may affect things.

Also it doesn't hurt that the league is the deepest in the country and any team can win on a given night. It's only because the teams beat up on each other during the regular season that the top team in Hockey East isn't #1 in the country. We can't all play patsies like St. Cloud every week.

Was going to say the same thing.

UND would love to get into a competitive league like Hockey East, they're getting tired of these walkover games in the WCHA.

Not the first sport that this has been discussed.
Well it's a worthwhile debate to have. Would UND rather be in the softer WCHA and have a shot at the NCAA tournament every year or be in a more prestigious league but tread water?
