That is why the WCHA championship is more prestigious than the NCAA championship. If it was up to me and I was in the WCHA I'd boycott the NCAA playoffs. If I was RPI, facing UND in the first round, I'd be upset. Minnesota is probably steaming and rightfully so. I guess the Easterners on the selection committee just didn't want to send three WCHA teams to the NCAAs and admit the fact that at least half the teams in one association were superior to ~90% of the Eastern teams. Maybe forced bussing is the solution! Predictions: Duluth over Clarkson RPI toss-up UND BU over BG BC over MSU Note: A hot goalie will make any prediction weak.
