This is also too bad for Maine, BU and Michigan, who now have no hope of winning a national championship. > I think that this has got to be the most ignorant thing I have read on this list. I watched Colorado College play the other night on MSC I should say on friday and the Gophers handed them their butts. The result on saturday was well a fluke. To say that Minnesota and Wisconsin don't have a chance is unfounded since the season is only half over. Also first of all you have to get to the playoffs first to win a national championship. The reason you didn't get to the NCAA is you lost to a very weak MTU team in the WCHA final 5. That is one of the reason you did not get in. TO say that BU and Maine don't have a chance is also dumb because first of all you have to play for the national championship it is not handed too you. I also think that Maine has to be considered a Powerhouse this year. BU is also a strong team and also don't forget the CCHA LSU has won when it appeared that they didn't have that strong of a team. They seem to jell around playoff time. Don't count anything yet. This thing is far from over. My prediction CC will not win the WCHA final 5 or the NCAA tourney. Final Four will be U of Maine U of Minnesota LSU BU
