I don't think there's any non-biased person out there who would argue that Providence deserved a spot more than Yale, and that's who they were competing with, not UNH.
The fact of the matter is that the Frozen Four is about your entire body of work, the selection is not a seeded playoff nor should it be, it's simply impossible to do that with the nature of the various leagues. Sure it would be great to have 4 conferences of equal strength that played down to the title, but that's not reality and it never will be reality so there's really no point discussing it as anything more than a what if scenario.
