I didn't write down who posted this (was someone from BU), sorry: "No one has any type of outstanding record in this conference (ECAC) except for Clarkson, and i don't believe the notion that all of the ECAC teams are strong, and that parity is the explanation for what's happened in the ECAC this year." What??? Clarkson's record is outstanding? (no offense to CU here) If you look at the records for the ECAC, you would realize even if you look as low as 8th (i.e. SLU), the teams had 15 wins or more. Clarkson only had 20 wins on the season....not *that* much noticeable difference I would say. Seems to me that most of the records were very similar, especially when looking at Clarkson, UVM, Colgate, etc. (also keep in mind that one of Clarkson's wins was to a Div.III school). As for parity, I would say that, at least from my perspective, it was not so much parity as mass-inconsistency. *Every* team in the ECAC played some outstanding games and some crappy games. There was no easy game, *ever*, and no points were "easy points." From my direct experience, SLU could have beaten any team in the ECAC if they were having one of the outstanding games, but by the same token they could have lost to Dartmouth or Yale if those teams were playing well. It is just plain inconsistency...I think Clarkson may have gotten over this though, I say watchout for them or Princeton in the NCAA's. (Colgate could do some damage too).
