      Most teams in the WCHA (Bemidji, Minnesota, Minnesota State, North Dakota, Ohio State) are not scheduled to play a non-conference game against a team with a current winning record.

      Every Hockey East team has played or will play a non-conference opponent with a winning record, so will 10 of the 12 ECAC teams.
      and your point is?
      maybe the teams with winning records don't want to play the WCHA teams given that in the games that matter, at the NCAA FF, WCHA wins over 75% of the games

        No point. Your right. More Lindenwood.

          We probably don't need to schedule any differently. The WCHA schedule is tough enough...and based on national championships, the recipe works quite well. Remember BC last year? There was a general consensus that they played too soft of a schedule and there's a good chance it cost them. Almost never does any team in the WCHA play that soft a schedule.

          Your whole premise is invalid based on the current strength of schedule:

          1. Bemidji 4-7-1
          2. Wisconsin 11-0-1
          3. North Dakota 6-4-2
          4. Duluth 7-2-3
          5. Harvard 1-5-0
          6. Dartmouth 1-5-0
          8. St. Cloud 4-7-1
          Go Gophers!

              Lindenwood has 5 series against WCHA teams this year. I believe they had 6 last year.

              Is this the WCHA teams trying to schedule 'easy' victories for themselves or this something closer to community service? Lindenwood needs to schedule a lot of OOC games and they already have serious travel issues for their conference games.

                We can all pick meaningless stats, but what does it prove? Last year, BC was 40-0 against teams from the East, 0-1 against teams from the West. There is some math for you.

                  It's community service. Mark Johnson has said this directly. Geographically the wcha is the closest to them as well. They might as well just join the wcha, based on geography.

                    To be fair, I think they were actually 2-1 vs the west. Swept an opening series against UMD.
                    At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

                      In ARM's defense, Duluth *is* east of Minneapolis.

                        it is in the best interest of WCHA schools that Lindenwood be a successful program, if one of the WCHA schools left the conference or dropped women's hockey, or another school wanted to join the WCHA, Lindenwood could be a logical school to try to replace them or become the 10th team.

                        it's also sunny and warm compared to most of the WCHA schools

                          I would not like the wcha to go to 10 teams because it would reduce the n/c games unless you went with an unbalanced league schedule, which would suck.

                          Lindenwood is hosting the ncaa's this year, correct?

                            Correct, but at The Family Arena in St. Charles, not at Lindenwood Ice Arena (their home rink) 22 miles away in Wentzville.

                              I was trying to follow the precedent established: pick an arbitrary stat, use it incorrectly with inaccuracies, extrapolate like crazy, and then act like you've proven something.

                              Plus, I'm old, and I don't remember things that happened over 12 months ago. Or 12 minutes ago.

                                I was somewhat surprised that no BC supporters mentioned the UMD games but they are just checked out except for GS.

                                I found myself walking down the hall at work today and I forgot why I was walking down the hall. I'm not even sure you need to be old to do that.
