    That was the only way the fryers won in 2015



    I wonder in which city did they win in 2015, and where was their opponent in the finals from?

      As was stated above, a replay review on a possible penalty can only be made to determine if there was a major. So, once they went to the replay, their only options were to let the no-call stand, or call the major. There was no way they would let the no-call stand, as there was definitely contact to the head, arguably deliberate. So, right call.

        The lineman spoke to the refs and was clearly telling them he had seen it. Manurespreader doing what he does.

          Welcome to the conversation. Stick with it long enough, and you'll quickly see how complicated & unwieldy this topic really is. Let's start with these examples.

          There's no such thing as earned home ice advantage? If you're going to spread that gospel, you're going to have to persuade the NHL, the NFL, the NBA and everyone else who awards home playoff games on the basis of regular season performance. The college hockey conference tournaments do the same.

          The issue here is whether home crowd advantage is the functional equivalent of home ice advantage. Complicated issue. Good arguments on both sides.

          Yup, it was for the money, and I don't see any problem with that. This is college hockey, not college basketball or football.
          If you really mean it, then you're in favor of using campus sites in the West. Clearly that's where the most potential profit is. In fact, as has been chronicled endlessly, they're the only sites that really work in the West, in terms of appropriate seating capacity and proximity to fans.

          The system of regional tournaments, as they are now, can never be "fair". Leave the question of "fairness" for peewee competition. Which regional site would be fair to Huntsville? ASU? How about Alaska's teams?
          If the multi-year conversation has proven anything, it's that no system is perfect. But we can strive for the best possible system, or at least the lesser of the evils.

          And please. We are where we are precisely because of demands for fairness. If it was just about the revenue, Yost & Mariucci would still be regularly hosting regionals.

          In the end, you are contradicting yourself. First, you state there should not be an advantage based on location, but then you say it would be fair if it existed based on seeding. So which one is it, then?
          Perhaps Stauber1's post was a bit spirited, but this is not a contradiction at all. Home Ice/Home Crowd is fair if earned, otherwise not. You get your performance bonus at work if you meet your target, otherwise not.

            So the West regional would have been at the Ralph instead of Fargo. How much do you think that boosts the 4200 average attendance without UND in the mix?

            The Midwest regional would have been...at Yost? Madison? That would have driven attendance through the roof.

            Mankato still gets shipped to Providence regardless.

                  Does anyone know when the future Hockey Regional Sites will be announced? I would like to see UMaine and the City of Portland, Maine apply to host a Regional at the Cross Insurance Arena. The Arena isn't on par with The Dunk, Manchester or Worcester but they did do a $30 + million dollar renovation a few years back that improved it to the point that they could host a Regional. The City of Portland is fantastic. The Old Port area, great restaurants, lots of bars, hotels, craft brew scene, etc.
                  Attendance at Providence on Saturday was 7,180 and on Sunday 5,231. The Cross Arena has a capacity of 6,733.

                    Is that the same arena which hosted the D3 national championship a few years back? (Naming rights change so often, one can never keep track of what arena is what...)

                      I believe it's the old Cumberland County Civic Center.

                        That is correct formerly the Cumberland County Civic Center. Hosted the Icebreaker Tournament a few years back.

                          No, that was the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston that hosted the D-3 Championship. A dreadful Arena. It seats around 3,000.

                            The 2020 regional sites should be announced after the Frozen Four. UMaine has bid to host in 2020 and 2021 in Portland. The bid to host for 2019 was rejected.

                              Thank you for the info. I believe when UMaine applied for the 2019 Regional and was rejected they had not done the renovation to the Arena yet.

                                What about the Mass Mutual Center in downtown Springfield? UMass should step up to host. AIC could as well.
