Illinois State not getting in to the tournament is a prime example of the continued Big Market bias.

If thats the case, then explain Arizona and Oregon from the PAC 10 getting in over ISU. Both had RPI scores well below Illinois State yet they play in a far more powerful conference.

I definitely like what I am seeing on the ice of the United Center this year with Toews and Kane and to be honest, I am ok if they don't make it in. Only because the future looks so bright. I have to wonder where we could be sitting without Toews missing those 15 games. SO Blackhawks fans - don't freak if we don't…
