Erik,  you  haven't answered my question.

I understand if the CC fans aren't too fond of Cornell given the  
outcome of the last year's NC$$ regional game.  I know in 2003 we  
played (and beat) the MSU Mavericks in the NC$$ regionals, however  
MSU went in as the #14 seed and realistically weren't expected to  
win. In the last decade or so, there haven't been many games between  
Cornell and WCHA teams outside of the NC$$ tournament.
