    It doesn't matter what happens in the post-season, if you want to question the PWR. It is what happens in the regular season. Hey, I don't think the EZAC is really good, but this argument is ludicrous, and I'm being polite.
    Everyone loves an underdog and a team ruled out, for sure. But there's less room for it in our tournament than say basketball.

      The #2 and #3 teams in HE, UNH and BU, have a combined record of 2-4-2 against the #3,5,6,9,10 and 11 teams in the ECAC with the wins coming against the #6 and #11 ECAC teams. Hell looks to me like these 2 teams are the undeserving ones and maybe HE only deserves one team in the tourney .

        Please try to sense some humor and sarcasm in the Union and Dartmouth things...

          No problem. That team would probably make it to St. Paul.

            So let's "fix" the PWR so teams who we feel can win in March are in? Heck right now I'd be all for it, as MN would be in the title game every year! Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

                Better yet let's skip the team that can win in March and go directly to the ones that can win in April. No need for all those half empty arenas that probably cost the NC$$ money.

                  But seriously, the ECAC has looked good this year.

                  They've looked pretty good and won some nice regular season games other years, too. And followed it up by looking like Tier II competition when it counts.

                        Whether you think I'm full of **** on the topic or not, I'm happy this can light a fire so quickly. Because you know what? At the end of the day - no one is going to care if St. Lawrence beat UNH in what? December.

                        Because whether the ECAC fields 2, 4 or 7 teams - if they DONT show up in March and April, fans and players of the other conferences will continue to look to them as tier II in a tier I league.

                            It will just mean that 4 EZAC teams are gone by the end of the second round of the NCAA playoffs.

                              I agree beating the cupcake and the weak sisters of the poor really doesn't impress me. I keep hearing how BU and C.C. were beaten by EZAC teams so what? Both teams are down this year.

                                So what you're saying is... SCSU should never be given an NCAA bid again and UNH and tUMD should not be allowed in the F4 even if they win their regional. Ok, let's just book it now... this year's Frozen 4: Michigan, UND, BC, and MN (they are hosting).
                                tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.
