I thought you all would be interested in an observation made by the BU radio announcers tonight on the pregame show. They stated that Hockey East was, in their opinion, the best conference from top to bottom, meaning that some other teams might be contenders for the national championship, for example, but that Hockey East has the best talent when all of the teams are taken into account. I couldn't help but think others on this list might want to weigh in on this issue :-) Arthur Berman [log in to unmask] GO BU!!! NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!
