hear hear.
 
honest question here -- in the 1990's, how many ECAC teams have made the
frozen four? I can only remember:
CLK 91
SLU 92
HVD 94
UVM 95
 
(Yes, I know Harvard won in 89. That ain't the 90s)
 
If that's all there is, that's only 4 teams out of 40. Yet the ECAC usually
winds up with at least 2 teams in the tournament, right?
 
Someone, please prove me wrong and point out that the ECAC has made it into
the Frozen Four at least 15% of the time (6 teams)... although that's still
a pretty low percentage.
