Somebody has their head in rectal defilade when choosing teams for a tournament and ignore a regular season league champion. I agree that Minnesota deserves to be there based upon the WCHA playoffs. However, how one could choose Wisconsin over CC is totally mind boggling if one has to choose between the the two teams. I also do not understand why the WCHA got screwed in the number of teams chosen to participate in the NCAA's when there is no outstanding reason to believe that any other league is either stronger (or weaker.) I can not believe that a (Western Michigan, Michigan State, Northeastern, Mass-Lowell, [you pick the team]) should be chosen over a team able to capture the top league spot in what is a creditable league by playing over well over an extended period. Something is terribly wrong with the NC$$ Hockey Play-off selection criteria and the committee that is unable to use common sense. Walt Olson MTU
