Yeah, taking emotion out of picks is really a bad idea... The best teams should be in the tourney (plus a few tokens, Mercyhurst, Bemidji State, UMTC )
According to KRACH, the WCHA should have 6 tournement teams. I really do think that this is probably the correct amount. BTW, what's up with UNH, get your act together so we get a quality road win. Also BSU, you better win your conference.
