This morning I read that the river has crested and is in retreat, according to hydrologists. Hopefully, this disaster subsides and causes minimal damage over the next week or so. The rest of the country is on your side, rooting for the folks in Fargo and Moorhead.

Not so fast. BU may be the most talented team remaining in the tourney, but Cornell has proven that they can hang with the elite teams from the Hockey East. Their style of play and goaltending allows them to match up well against any team in the nation.

You seem to have an obsession with the AHA, Goon. You've drawn attention to yourself on the USCHO forums and I couldn't help but respond here. USAF is legit. They played competitively against Minnesota and Miami in recent tournaments and have a few marquee wins in recent years. As for the AHA, the league is not yet anything close to being a powerhouse in college hockey, but it is still in its developing stages. Canisius, Mercyhurst and my RIT Tigers are three programs on the rise. Interest in college hockey has grown exponentially in Rochester, NY due to RIT's transitional success coupled with the decline of the AHL Amerks. While USAF is currently carrying the flag, I forsee the AHA becoming much more competitive from top-to-bottom in the years to come.
