More parity in college hockey?  Michigan in for the 9th straight
time and 22nd time overall; Clarkson in for the 5th straight time,
9th in the nineties, and 18th overall; Michigan State in for the
6th straight time, 8th in the nineties, and 19th overall; North
Dakota back for the 3rd straight time and 15th overall; BC back for
the second straight time and 19th overall.  Even New Hampshire in for
the 3rd straight time, 6th in the nineties and 10th overall.  Yes...
I see the parity in college hockey.
 
As for the Terriers, they were not an awful team: awful teams do not
beat very good teams and BU beat several very good teams.  The
Terriers also prevented the Wildcats from have a perfect home record
this year, tying them, 2-2, at Whittemore Center.  BU also tied UNH,
2-2, and lost a well played game, 3-1, at Walter Brown Arena.

I have read Greg's posts and he is not comfortable with Boston
University having better teams and players than New Hampshire most
seasons.

And as Greg mentioned to me in a private e-mail I really can not say
"Go Terriers" now, as they are finished playing for this season.
Instead I will say "Go Clarkson, 1999 ECAC Champions," and look
forward to next season when I can once again say "Go Terriers, 1999
Beanpot Champions."
