Is Minnesota the new "dynasty"?
I don't want to take anything away from the Gophers--they played an
outstanding game in whipping the pussies from New Hampshire--but I don't see
how a team with eight losses and nine ties during the regular season
qualifies as a dynasty. Very good, well coached, peaking at the right time,
clutch performers--all of those descriptors apply in spades to Minnesota.
But not a dynasty. At least not yet.
And by the way, what is it with the WCHA. Why do they have so many ties?
WCHA teams played a total of 140 conference games during this past season,
and 52 of them--37%--were ties. That a higher percentage of ties than any
other conference--more than double the percentage of ties in the ECAC and the
CCHA.
CCHA 168 conference games 30 ties 18%
CHA 60 conference games 20 ties 33%
ECAC 132 conference games 22 ties 17%
HEA 108 conference games 24 ties 22%
MAAC 143 conference games 16 ties 11%
WCHA 140 conference games 52 ties 37%
