    1b- Under 1a) Minny and UND decided by ECAC and HE tomorrow night.
    1a1- If UND lose, and Prov/NE and Clark both win, then UND/BC for the last spot is decided by MTU/NMU

    2- If UMD lose tonight, then....
    2a- UND win tomorrow puts Minny in, and BC out
    2b- UMD/UND tie tomorrow, then BC is out, and UMD is in
    2c- UMD win tomorrow, UMD is in
    2d- Under 2b or 2c, Minny is decided by HE and ECAC, and BC/UND might be
    2e- If Prov/NE and Clark both win, then the last spot again comes down to the NMU/MTU result
    So we want the WCHA final to go 5 or 6 overtimes?

      I can't seem to get Denver in there, so that would shore that part of the bracket up, right?

      And, can anyone get NoDak to a #3? I don't think so.

      So, if NoDak makes it, Ohio State plays in Sioux Falls.
      If NoDak does not, SCSU plays in Sioux Falls.
      Right?
      Denver is 8% to earn a 1 seed. Ohio State would have to lose to Notre Dame and Denver would have to beat St Cloud. And probably something else since the % is so low.

              SCSU is #1 overall.
              Notre Dame and Cornell have clinched 1 seeds. The final 1 seed is between Ohio State and Denver. Denver now passes OSU in 9% of scenarios.

                Again, in order:
                1- UMD lose: Minnesota is in, BC is out. UMD tie, UMD is in, and BC is out. UMD win, UMD is in.
                2- Princeton win: Princeton is in, and UND/BC are out. Clarkson win: UMD/Minn is in.
                3- BU wins: BU in, and either UND/BC are out (if not already), or UMD/Minn is out. Prov/NE wins: UMD/Minn is in (if not already) or UND/BC are still alive.
                In the event that UND/BC are still alive at this point, revert to 1. A UND w/t there puts UND in and BC out.
                4- If the last spot is yet to be decided, then NMU=BC and MTU=UND

                  Tomorrow afternoon's UND v UMD game, the NCHC conso game, has A LOT of meaning. I'm not sure I can remember a year where it was BOTH teams with huge motivation to win that one.

                  Should be good for the fans who go this way.

                    Actually, both teams should meet before hand. A draw is the most-beneficial result. Minnesota Duluth clinches a spot, and North Dakota doesn't have to worry about the WCHA Final. We could have a repeat of the 1986 World Cup...both teams just passing it back to each other in the neutral zone for 65 minutes.

                          Providence just tied the Hockey East semifinal with 1:51 remaining in regulation. This could be a while. BU is hoping for multiple overtimes. BC and North Dakota aren't.

                            Belgium doesn't speak German - unless they're being overrun.

                              German is an official language in Belgium.

                                Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to be solid:

                                St Cloud vs RMU/AFA
                                ND/OSU winner vs NMU/MTU winner in Allentown
                                Penn State the 3 Allentown
                                Notre Dame and Cornell 1 seeds
                                Mankato and Providence 2 seeds
                                Clarkson and Northeastern 3 seeds
