I, too, am a big WCHA fan (a Badger fan), but, in regards to
North Dakota or any other WCHA team beating a CCHA team, I would
disagree with putting money (a large sum, anyway) on it.  This
year the WCHA teams are far more decimated by the Olympics than
the CCHA, which closes the gap considerably.  Ohio State (though
I hate to admit it) has driven to a remarkable record so far,
and in college hockey I think that any team can beat any other
in the WCHA and the CCHA on any night.

I probably would bet on the WCHA if I had to bet on someone,
but I am certainly less confident than last year.  I wish
Bowling Green would have gotten a bid to the NCAAs last
year, because this year they might have a better chance of winning
it all, and the incentive from not getting a bid last year
may give Bowling Green enough motivation to win it all.

Hopefully, Wisconsin can get out of their slump.  Maybe
they can beat Minnesota twice (once?) this weekend in
Madison.

Here's to college hockey...
