Our goalie sucks. Michigan and St. Cloud ST. are the bomb.

Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th
Really?IMO: Cincy is the Region of Death this year, on first glance.
UND doesn't travel, they have fans that live EVERYWHERE. EVERY. WHERE.
(Why? Who the hell wants to live in NoDak?
Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th
Yeah, really. I was told by UND fans that the first choice they face is: move to MPLS, or move to Denver. They are transplants, no ripping them in that regard. Just better job markets.

Threeve.
They were vastly outnumbered this weekend, although that is not saying much.

UND is a really good school and their graduates get jobs. However, like you said, its not in Fargo-Grand Forks.

I am aware, and I have a few friends who went there. Currently, my 3 closest UND friends live in Denver, Indianapolis, and Minneapolis right now (2 are in aviation, no surprise)

They couldnt even fill half of Joe Louis for the CCHA tournament. How many fans are going to show up in Cincy?

Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th
There were about 4K tonight total. I'd say 3500 were MN fans. Going pessimistic, 3K were MN fans, 500 MI fans, 500 anti-MN fans.
There were also some ticket shenanigans from last night that might have affected attendance. Either way: B1G Mistake.

Yes, clearly I am the moron who doesnt recognize the mathematical value of threeve. Is it greater or less than fifty-leven?Already answered that question in the post you quoted.

Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th
If the committee does what it is supposed to do Quinnipiac will be in Worcester. We have known about the "a flight is a flight" criteria but have never heard "a drive is a drive."
Worcester: 1 Quinnipiac vs RIT, Lowell vs Yale
Albany: 4 Providence vs Duluth, Boston College vs Harvard
Cincinnati: 3 North Dakota vs Northeastern, Michigan vs Notre Dame
St Paul: 2 St Cloud vs Ferris State, Denver vs Boston University
Meant to post this at midnight and it got caught in my phone and never posted. Anyway, my bracket...

Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th
Can Lowell vs Yale (Worcester) be swapped with Boston College vs Harvard (Albany)?

Why favor providence? They got favored last year as a lower seed than Quinnipiac and were kept east while providence stayed home. They shouldn't be given a favor to Worcester when Quinnipiac is the number 1 overall seed.

Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th
You would see a slight increase in attendance at Worcester but attendance in Albany would decrease, and all at the expense of the overall #1 seed. I'm sure the money grabbers at the NC$$ will be excited about the prospect of selling even one more ticket. They threw integrity away last year by keeping the last team in the tournament at home so I wouldn't be surprised to see them throw Quinnipiac to the wolves yet again.
If we are worried about attendance that much just replay the Hockey East tournament in Worcester and have Quinnipiac play the Capital District All-Stars in Albany.
Or maybe they could lower the ticket prices and become more family friendly since they are in the heart of the family-friendly AHL. Nah. Let's just screw over Quinnipiac again.

Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th
I just don't see how Quinnipiac is being "screwed over" here. First off, if you *asked* them, I bet they'd choose Albany. Would that make a difference to you? The distance really is trivial, and it's a major inconvenience to Boston area fans for whom Albany is much less feasible as a day trip. And, of course, the ECAC is nominally the host at Albany (not RPI or Union), so why shouldn't their champion be put there? It's not just attendance either, either... it's *who* attends. Quinnipiac will have a much more friendly audience in Albany than in Worcester... that's certain, especially in the same bracket as Lowell.

QU travels to the Albany area every season anyway (Union and RPI). This wouldn't be any different really.
