suppose easy switches might be

Yale to Worcester.. bring a heavy artillery, and it ain't because of the neighborhood!
UNH to Albany.
Michigan to Fort Wayne
NMU to St. Paul


where's my fee!!

If they were worried about attendance those switches would be the obvious ones.

Nailed it. That will be the line up. Who would have thought losing the WCHA championship would be a good thing for SCSU.

And Wisconsin. Normally, you'd want the team that beat you to win, but if they had, there was the possibility of a SCSU/UND St. Paul and Bucky ending up out east.

Although, the prospect of facing Wisc again is tough for SCSU.

If SCSU has the issues next weekend they had tonight, they might not get to see Wisconsin.
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

is there any possibility that North Dakota won't be in the same region as BC?

Well, they won't be worried about attendence in Worcester. Mich and UND bring enough people.. BC fans kinda know where Worcester is.. so they'll make it beyond the 495 for a game or 2.

But for other fans that want to see their team.. the changes seem so simple and doable as well as accomodating, even I could do them! So.... why not!

Congrats on yet another HE Playoff Banner.. hope the eagles dont' play like that in worcester.. they'll only make it out heading East.

CHN selects the same bracket.

USCHO hasn't put one up yet.
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Moving Yale to Worcester would basically drop their seeding from ninth to twelfth at the whim of the Committee. I do not think this is a fair scenario based on the pairwise ranking they have earned.

Maybe the people who bring up this scenario view Yale as a weakened team who would not win anywhere anyway.:mad:

No.. at all. I think Yale had a great yr. It' seams as though the 3 seeds are most flexible to moving.. and by no means,as the pairing are playing out would a visit to Worcester be enjoyed by ANYONE 1-16, nevermind 9-12. sorry for the confusion.

No, people are realists. The NCAA can follow the PWR and seed accordingly, or the NCAA can put Michigan in Fort Wayne and print money.

Nah, we never been to Worcester. ;)

Anyway, yeah bad game overall for BC, but sometimes that is what desperation will do for at team fighting for their lives. But, so far this year every game where give up a bunch of goals we follow up with a very good game. So I'm hoping we continue that trend.

I am certainly going to enjoy it. That will be some awesome hockey if it happens they way it is being suggested.

The northeast region is going to be by far the most difficult region to make it out of alive (and not just because the game is in Worcester ;) )

Doesn't matter to me right now. After today, I'm not sure if DU can beat an egg. I can, but I can't skate. :(
