Several of the recent mailings refer to Clarkson's loss to UNH.  I
believe if you check the final score, it was 5 - 4 in Clarkson's
favor.  I listened to the game on radio and do not feel that UNH
dominated the game all that much (they certainly did when they were
on the power play) which I admit was often.  There was a lot of
discussion (by Clarkson announcers concerning the one-sideness of
the officating), don't know how true that was - but it sure sounded
like it.
On the one league versus another league - I would suggest that any given
team can compete with a team from another league with the same standing.
The 1st place team in any of the four conferences can hold their own on
any given night with any of the other 1st place teams, all the way to
the last place teams....
