the afore-discussed NU defenseman was #2, schewerk i believe his name is. back to the strength of schedule issue discussed a while back (harvard in some year a few back, and cc vs msu or whomever last year): imho... i wonder why a team (like cc or perhaps du) should be 'punished' for scheduling air force. or why should an ecac team have playing army held against them? it would seem that these games are scheduled for the overall good of the sport, and not with an eye on the effect on power ratings. and why would cc's conference schedule be compared to minnesota's? cc doesn't get to pick whom they play in their unbalanced schedule, do they? isn't it the wcha league office that sets the conference schedules for all their members? if people were disrespecting cc's regular season conference title because 'they played a weaker conference schedule than some other team,' i must beg to remind those persons that cc turned the hand they were dealt into a winner over the course of a full regular season. it is true that championships are awarded to tournament winners (teams on a hot streak at the right time); but imho, regular season title winners don't receive enough credit. what is the extent of cc's probation this year anyway? banned from any post-season play? loss of scholarships? recruiting restrictions? all/none of the above? has the investigation into the situation at maine been resolved? is there any on-going stuff up in orono? dave bu 91 and 94, mich 97?
