Instead they play inter-league games that count in both leagues standings. Since the WCHA has 13 more wins than losses and Hockey East has 13 more losses than wins, it stands to reason that the WCHA has been getting the better of the Hockey East teams in the inter-league games. (It should be even more lop-sided, but Wisconsin had a victory stolen away in Providence by the officials when they (1) disallowed a Wisconsin goal that was clearly in, and (2) the winning goal in overtime was later shown on replay to never have gone in the net. Grrr!!) >...most fans are terribly upset that Wisconsin is [not] making a >trip to UND this year due to SuperLeague committments. Wisconsin fans are also upset because Minnesota will not be coming into the Dane County Colliseum this season. I guess it's just one of those things that happen when you have to organize a schedule between 15 teams in a very short time. There just aren't enough games in the season to give all the WCHA teams 4 games against each other and still play 2 games against the 7 Hockey East teams. Hopefully the bugs will be out of the scheduling procedure for next season. It's interesting that ND fans are upset over Wisconsin not playing in Greater Grand Forks this year since Wisconsin has a 15-10-3 (or so) record against the Sioux in North Dakota, but only a 1-8-1 record against them over the last ten games when they've played in Madison. Wisconsin overcame tradition last night, however, when they defeated North Dakota here in Madison by a score of 6-5 in overtime. (Go RED!!) >I've heard RPI is supposedly very good this year - any amens? No "amens", but I've heard the same thing. Any solid info on the RPI team out there??
