      yeah.. though i can see also flipping bu and maine too with this set up.

      i like to see as many first round games that have the seeds = 17 and regions =34 as possible. 'rewarding' michigan (2) with the (8) here helps [even though the closer trip for them is green bay, and sioux's st paul].
      a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

        I'm glad the Gophers are back in the tournament. I will take whatever matchup we get. Maine or BU? Bring 'em on. The Whioux or Michigan? As long as we get to Sunday, who cares?
        Bottom Line: If you deserve to win the national championship then don't worry about who you play, when, and where. Just keep winning.
        Exception: You are right about the refs. They, no doubt, have it in for <insert your team name here>!

          I agree. That's the one difference I'd have.

            He always seems to be close.
            Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.
            dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey.
            wasmania - you have to be the very best to get ice time with the great gophers!

              I am looking a little more in depth at the #4 seeds. When you look at the actual comparisons, it seems to me you find that :
              1) Cornell and WMU are very close to each other(, and to Lowell also as far as that goes).
              2) There is a big difference between WMU and MSU. I mean WMU has the edge by a significant amount.
              3) There is also a big jump from MSU to Air Force.

              What this all means is:
              Whatever happens with the top of the bracket, at the bottom, it needs to be matched up BC/AFA; Mich/Cornell; Union/MSU; UND/WMU because the #3 overall should have a lower ranked opponent than the #4 overall, and here, MSU is measurably lower than WMU. I know it makes a 3-way swap to avoid Mich v CCHA, but it is the right thing here.

                        Basically it comes down to bracket integrity vs. maximizing $$$...Moy went with $$$, CHW went with bracket integrity. Moy is the heavy favorite.

                        FWIW, I tried to convince the others that North Dakota would be sent to St Paul, bracket integrity be ****ed, but I was outvoted 6 to 2. Needless to say, there are excellent argument on both sides of the coin, and we will find out tomorrow at noon (eastern) how everything shakes out.
