Correction: Michigan won the CCHA championship.  LSSU won the
postseason tournament.  That makes LSSU the CCHA Tournament champions,
not the CCHA champions.  It also is much less impressive to me.
Winning the regular season means you have to play excellent hockey
throughout the season.  Winning the postseason tournament means you
have to get good/lucky for a very short period of time.

Gloat away, LSSU did a great job in the 2nd half of the season, and
they won when they absolutely had to.

I don't really remember any Lake State bashing on this list.  Can you
repost some examples?

1. They are not division champs, they are postseason tourney champs.
2. Stating that they will win the NCAA playoffs as if it were fact
   instead of opinion wins no friends, and is known as "woofing."

I have no idea why you needed to vent.  Perhaps the voices you heard
ragging on LSSU were the voices of their own fans earlier in the
season when things weren't looking too good?
