I'm sure this is purely for flame-generating purposes but there
are a few facts which should be mentioned.
 
1) The Harvard "NY Rangers" Crimson are in the ECAC not
        Hockey East (ok, so there was a little editorial
        comment in there :).
 
2) A pair of Hockey East teams made it to the final four
        and one took the national title. Zero teams from your
        "awesome" WCHA made it.
 
Now before any of the rational WCHA fans out there jump on me,
I do agree that the WCHA has good hockey and, top to bottom, is
probably second only to the CCHA. And I do realize that also
zero ECAC teams made it to the final four.
 
I was just informing this (ahem) person about some facts he was
omitting.
