    It was pretty funny because the guy stated BU has the best college team on paper as a fact based on draft picks.

    Then Brad corrects him and said it is definitely up for debate citing the 05-06 team and @twolinepass gets all butthurt. :lol:

    He said they are the best team ever because of the draft picks. Then Brad brought up the 2005-06 team.

    BU may have taken Minnesotas annual preseason national title this year. ;)

    Under the current format (and when Miami won theirs) "Regional Champion" == "National Semifinalist". 

    By definition, Frozen Four attendees are National Semifinalists. :)

    I would be surprised if they do both, there was a time where they had a 3rd and 4th place, now the two who don't make the championship game end up tied for 3rd.

    Not sure anyone said that?? But when I watched that video I thought they had won 2 championships. 

    Like I said, that seems like a weird video to see players holding a trophy, celebrating a victory, but they are holding a 2nd place trophy. That's all I said, to each their own I guess.... just my thoughts...

    I noticed the dates on the sleeve of there jersey and had to look them up. They were the two years they made the Frozen Four. 

    I like that North Dakota, Michigan, and Denver don't put anything on their jerseys to show how many National Titles they have won. Michigan did do their title dates on the inside of the collar on a throwback jersey a few years back that looked nice.

    Well, you have to have something when your two NCAA trophies say "Second Place Team" and "Semi-Finalist". 

    They give out a regional champion one too. Most likely they are down by the coaches offices. I thought you could see them when Brad gave the tour of the remodel. I noticed them with the two Broadmoor Trophies in the display case.

    But if Badgers coach Tony Granato had it his way, this season would be the last where old rival North Dakota doesn’t appear on the schedule.

    “I would like to play them every year,” he said. “For me, North Dakota-Wisconsin is a must-have on the schedule. There’s too much history. And they want the same, talking to their coaches.

    “It’d be nice if they were in our league but they’re not, so let’s find a way to play them every year and keep that going.”

    top 8 get in.  UND was 10th last year.  RPI in Women's hockey is heavily weighted to the East Coast teams for some reason.  Schlossman has explained it but I don't remember details.  Some weaker teams from the east get in every year at the expense of western teams. 

    Mercyhurst got in ahead of Bemidji State, probably an auto bid.

    One big problem is, the WCHA plays a balanced schedule instead of an unbalanced schedule which hurts the WCHA and UND when the NCAA tournament starts.

    That may not of been his intent. He could have just been trying to throw it. Without actually seeing what happened it's hard to make a judgement. I know from time to time reading things that the opposition reporters say about UND it not always true. (or the entire story anyway) And we all see our teams through tinted glasses. (some more then others)

    He said he saw it and security and other people in the area said that the goalie too a swing at the kid. The kid did heckle the goalie but that's no excuse. The UNB reporter said it didn't happen.

    Things that make you go hmmmm....

    Question: when these Canadian universities travel down to the States to play exhibition games, who pays their travel, food, lodging costs? Is there a similar arrangement as college football where the bigger power schools pay the little FCS schools a big chunk of change to play the game?

    McMahon said they get paid $2,500.

    Without knowing everything, there's two sides to every story.

    The BU game had 4 majors, and sounds to be just as bad. 

    The UNH UNB seems to have had no problems.

    I think that these teams that are having issues with CIS teams. Don't have respect for the CIS teams. You can see there is a respect between UND and Manitoba.

    What happened in the Merrimack UNB game to spark this conversation?

    Here the box score.

    http://collegehockeystats.net/1617/boxes/mmernbr1.o01

    Going by his tweets, the UNB goalie two handed slashed a player then sprinted to the Marrimack bench to start a fight. After h was kicked out he tried to hit a kid in the stands with his stick. It sounds like UNB was taking runs at Marrimack players.

    That is just a summary of what I remember.

  11. Mike McMahon started this discussion on twitter after the Merrimack UNB game.

    At what point do NCAA teams just stop scheduling CIS teams for exhibitions? It seems like there were issues in most games tonight.

    John Bierchen, Alabama's coach brought up playing ACHA teams.

    John Bierchen@JohnBierchen 24h24 hours ago Georgia, USA

    .@MikeMcMahonCHN time to give ACHA D1 teams opportunities. Help grow college game in US. Going to comment more on my Coaches show this week

    I'm all for growing college hockey, it's not a bad idea just not sure if it would be better then playing CIS teams.

    @chsstats @JohnBierchen Last night, Dennehy suggested that maybe it's time to reconsider those bylaws.

    .@MikeMcMahonCHN it's "ok" for UPEI to lose 7-0 but an ACHA team does & it's "no competition". Like we said yesterday, time for alternatives

     
  12. Since this has all of a sudden become an issue this year. The question is should the NCAA change rules to allow exhibition games be against other NCAA DI or DII/III schools, play ACHA club teams, or still play CIS teams?

    Now if a NCAA DI team plays and exhibition against other DI, DII/DIII, or ACHA club team it is counted against the 34 game schedule. I'm for playing the CIS teams, I don't know if they are better competition then DII/DIII or the ACHA. I'm also not against UND  playing a DII/DIII or ACHA team if it is exempt like the CIS games are.

    I guess there is the option to have a scrimmage against other NCAA DI teams to start the year, not sure how true this is but someone said that the ECHC does this each year in the conference.
