Best format is to have #1 seeds host regionals. Take a week off, after conference tournaments, to set up sites and for teams and fans to put together travel plans. Season will be a week longer, but would have to be a week longer using a best of three format.
Lots of blame for the D-men.Maybe some deserved....but how about we put the puck in the net....kristo,knight,rowney,grimaldi,macmillian one goal and a emptynetter on the weekend. Knight alone could have put the game away tonite.
If i was Adam, i would bring D Shepard and Nathan Freeman along to the NCHC and make Freeman a referee ......the WCHA is wasting his time as a linesmen.
