NCAA basketball does this with 2 - 4 team groups at each regional usually. You can't tell me it doesn't help boost the attendance by at least a decent percentage. Bare minimum it should be an improvement on the current system.

I’m going to blindly assume they’re waiting for Bob to get let go.

Albany is such a chore to even get to. If you're flying from Forks / Fargo pretty sure its a 3 leg flight (so 10 hours worth of flights)

Saw him and Dane Jackson both follow each other though for what it's worth

Think with the CHL adding depth to almost all of college hockey you're now typically going to have a lot of quality "4 seeds" outside of that 4 seed from Atlantic hockey. That even would happen once in a while in past years, just think it will likely be the case pretty much every year now.

2’ is kind hahah that puck looked like it was 5-10 feet wide. Like a long lag putt that you forget to read

The success in year 1 that Dane and Co has had in my head makes me think it’s makes Bob’s seat slightly hotter.

The Wisconsin collapse the past few weeks has been very wild. Hard to really pin down a major flaw for why they’ve been struggling. Maybe goal tending? They looked like a legit equal to Michigan state when they played their series before winter break. Lost whatever confidence they had during the 1st half in pretty quick fashion

Above is actually why I rooted for Denver in the 2017 title game. Was still disgusted with Duluth from the frozen faceoff championship game.

Miami seemed awesome last night. Them turning it around for this year (finally) obviously helps ASU is solid for the most part it seems

Don't think it impacts too much but this likely loses Penn State at least a couple percentage points for high end recruits in the future. Yes it probably happens everywhere but it's different when it's front page news of a random student harassing a player to that point (assuming the story is actually true).

What's the point of having Pat Brison as an agent if he can't work out handing the kid a nice lump sum to sign an NDA.

Spitball guessing but think he would likely be suspended 4 games? If so that is 2 games at Michigan and 2 home games vs Ohio state. If it would turn into 6 games that would mean he's gone for 2 games at Notre Dame. 4 of those could be pairwise killers with losses so could impact them alot.

The 2 super regionals is my thought as well for the time being. (Teams 1-8 hosting would be the best but it's unfortunately not as likely currently.) I don't think I've heard 2 super regionals mentioned really at all though? I don't understand it. It would 100% be an improvement over the current system for attendance. The one difficulty possibly would be having those NHL teams give up their arena near the end of the season during crunch time games. Maybe that's where they are running into issues behind the scenes...
