For the next two years the status quo is in effect. No changes to any Eastern conferences but the interlock between the ECAC-E and NESCAC ends at the end of this season.
What all that means is the ECAC-W will still have 5 teams for the foreseeable future. Next season, Pool B will disappear as the MASCAC (pesty buggers!) will get a Pool A slot. That means that the ECAC-W is not guarenteed of being a participant in the NCAA tournament. However, I would wager that the good old boy network will do their darndest to make sure that at least one ECAC-W school will get one of the 3 Pool C bids.CCT '77 & '78

Last year was the first year since 2005? that the ECAC West didn't have a team with an outstanding resume. However, I'd say Elmira proved they belonged by winning the play-in game and giving Norwich one hell of a run.The Poster Formerly Known as Purple_and_Gold10©

...
Terry was primarily responsible for coaching Manhattanville’s defensemen. The Valiants owned the fourth-best team goals-against average (2.00) among all Division III teams in 2008-09 and ranked ninth nationally in the same category in 2009-10 with a goals-against average of 2.33. In addition to his on-ice duties, Terry was also responsible for recruiting in Canada and the United States, as well as extensive video and statistical work. He also supervised and managed the Valiants’ Academic Monitoring program.

My point is that when you manage 13 shots you aren't on par with someone. Obviously goaltending can, and often does, overcome such things, but the point remains.I wish I am able to live long enough to do all the things I was attributed to.

Elmira played the perfect game for 59 minutes. They did everything they needed to do for that entire time to beat the Cadets and darn near pulled it off. How can you fault a team for playing the way they need to play in order to beat a faster, more skilled, and more physical team?
Seems to me the USA 1980 team did what they had to do to win a pretty important game against the seemingly unbeatable opponent.
Norwich averaged giving up 19 shots a game last year. There were plenty of other teams that had trouble getting pucks to the net against that great Norwich defense as well.Last edited by PrezdeJohnson09; 11-10-2010, 04:09 PM.The Poster Formerly Known as Purple_and_Gold10©
