The fact that North Stars and Blackhawks are in the final 64 and get as much air time here as they do, is frightening to me. Not in a sense that those have any chance of become the name, more like "what is wrong with people?".
If you think that's "ugly" then I take it you haven't been around too many rivalry games across the country...pretty mild in the grand scheme of things...
That team doesn't get out of the regional without (essentially) home ice. Strictly my opinion. You can take the Wisconsin OOC wins off the numbers too, as that series would never have taken place (that I believe to be fact).
