Tell me that the Fighting Sioux are not the best team in the nation right now? Yale??? C'mon man I know they have only one loss but look at who they have played!
Joe Gladziszewski--- (2:26 PM)
The Fighting Sioux are not the best team in the nation right now. There. OK, as the Yale doubters have become more vocal in recent weeks (especially in regard to the schedule) let's put forth a little bit of a defense for the Bulldogs. Sure, their schedule hasn't been as difficult as some other teams. They also have four fewer losses than North Dakota. There are schedule limitations that every Ivy League team faces. If Yale could play 6-10 more games, they'd take on some bigger series for sure. But in that limit, they did travel to Colorado College and Air Force. They're not dodging people, they're handcuffed by some rules. And the results are convincing. Not a lot of one-goal squeakers in there.

Prediction. Yale will not win a single postseason tournament this year.
Joe Gladziszewski --- (2:30 PM)

Daring prediction, considering that the maximum number of teams that can do that is six out of 58

Apparently Gopher's sieve Alex Kangas' career might be over at UMN.
