Commence the laughing.

When you look at the list, way too many guys from the 1970s and 1980s. Especially considering the league didn't even have Michigan and Michigan State for the 70s. 

well, not much.  You youngsters don't know what good players McPhee, Dowd, Morrow, Emerson and Liut were in their day.  Now, what Michael is pointing out is that in the 1970's and 1980's, defensive play and goaltending were nowhere as good as they are today (didn't NMU win the national championship game one year by an 8-7 score?), which is reflected in the boxcar offensive totals some of these guys compiled (and, conversely, has to be taken into account in evaluating Mike Liut's statistics).  However, I would also point out that Liut, Emerson, Dowd and Morrow all made it to the NHL and were serviceable NHLers (and in the case of Morrow, an outstanding NHLer) in an era in which virtually NO college hocket players ever made it to the NHL.

All that said, I would agree that it is pretty strange that the NCAA's all-time winningest goaltender (which he will be forever, IMO) is not on this list.  I would also say that an all-CCHA team for the last 20 years would be more representative of the "modern era" of college hockey play, with the current group (more or less) of CCHA teams.

Hey, whatever...

Light on the Hobey winners.

And while I respect Liut, it escapes me how Turco can't be #2, being that he's the all time leader in wins and won TWO NC's. 

One guy from Lake State?  Really?  While not a powerhose all the time, when they were good, they were GOOOOOD.

I see one guy from State in the 80's.  I was always under the impression they were an awesome team in the 80's....

So it seems as if it's a pretty weak list in the first place.  That being said, thanks to the illustrious history of this confernce, I think it would make a LOT more sense to have an actual team, and not team number- 4 centers, 8 wingers, 8 D, and 3 goalies (maybe 4).  A team of 24 would be a whole lot more reasonable.  And can capture great players from Ferris, Western, UIC (if they had some), etc.

So no point in arguing too much about the list then.
