I'm not quite ready to concede that HE has become the dominant division in
hockey.  Notice that if Wisconsin had gotten past BC (and yes, I take due
note they didn't) it could have been an all WCHA final, but that would not
be good evidence the WCHA was becoming dominant.  Instead, what I really see
is a leveling - more parity across the country with the typical team here
and there moving up or down along with the perennial powers who always seem
to stay near the top.

Doesn't this remind you of the great LSSU teams of Jeff (Damn - I can't
remember the name - George??)?  Discipline wins a lot of games.
