So, let me get this straight:  UConn kept putting fresh players in, and
Penn State still won 6-1?  :^)
 
All kidding aside, I did make a small error in a previous post:  I
thought Canisius was the western NY division I school that Penn State
beat on a regular basis.  It was pointed out to me (rather tactlessly by
an expert on such matters) that it was not Canisius (I can't remember who
it was, now).  At any rate, I apologize for that error, but I still say
Penn State (and maybe 3 or 4 other top-flight ACHA teams) would give the
bottom third of D-I a run for their money.
 
If only there were an on-ice way to settle that....
