What a thinking man will first come up with.
Patman said:
Alabama-Huntsville (ended season with a loss to Ferris State)
Hockey East 9th
Hockey East 10th (UMass-Lowell is assured a share)
WCHA 3rd Place (unlikely given pairwise, may be impossible this year, but not at the start of the year)
ECAC 3rd Place (ditto)
CCHA 3rd Place (ditto)
National Champion

I'm not sure if they are all still playing their 3rd place games.... but at the start of the year its 7.

Somebody was thinking.

Which leaves us with 6.

When the regular season is done, and all of those games have been played, only 2 teams have been eliminated from the NCAA playoffs. And Alabama is a very likely third. I wish the conferences didn't take everybody to the post-season (HE excluded since they are the conference that eliminated the 2 aforementioned teams.)

It could be more if a team or teams was banned from postseason play.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Thread 130: Revolutions Abound!

Most conferences take everybody to the playoffs because it means more games / more revenue. In the WCHA, why eliminate teams when you can guarantee six well-attended series instead?

Since my buddy and his fiance decided to set their wedding date so soon, we have short time to plan his bachelor party. Usually this would be plenty of time ~2 months, but we have been saying that we're doing a Vegas bachelor party for this guy for many years now. So we have some planning to do.

Re: Rep Retirement Thread 130: Revolutions Abound!

Within the space of a few minutes, I received phone calls from both my brothers telling me that our elderly mother had fallen in her house and broken her hip.

She was taken to the hospital and admitted. Subsequently, x-rays were taken showing a broken hip. The chief orthopedic surgeon read the x-rays and believed the condition to be one that could be repaired surgically. It wasn't until he was performing surgery that he determined the hip could not be repaired and that a full hip replacement procedure was indicated. The difference between being able to repair a hip surgically and installing a hip replacement is that the rehab process after hip replacement surgery is much longer.

My brothers are now on the East Coast with our mom. Over the last few days they have been researching the best place for our mom to be placed for her initial rehab treatment. Current thinking is that she will be able to be discharged from the hospital by Thursday or Friday of this week. At that time she would be placed in a rehab center for what we believe will be a two to three week period. It is hoped that at the end of that period she would be strong enough to go to her home. If that is the case, arrangements can then be made for in-home rehab to take place.

If at the end of the initial 2 to 3 week rehab period our mom has not made sufficient progress, such that she could go to her home, my brothers and I would need to seek placement for her in a "low-level"nursing home which could further facilitate her rehab to the point where she would be strong enough to go home and continue her rehab with in-home physiotherapy.

I will be flying to the East Coast this weekend and staying there for an undetermined length of time. It's been a difficult last few days and I'm confident that there are far more difficult days ahead. For those of you who keep a prayer list, my family and I would appreciate being placed on it. Thank you.
