Was curious how we didn’t land Makar and found a great article about it - I’m sure most on here have seen it. He is so good - don’t think the Dogs would’ve shut us down with him like they did UMASS.
Most likely discussed previously through the years but none of the USHL venues in Iowa are interested in hosting? That's Midwest, albeit the western edge.
With how things lined up a number 1 band team is going to get potentially punished, in this case it's WMU. My initial rationale was to leave the WMU bracket alone and in Worcester since 2 Mass. schools were already there but I failed to see 10 SCSU 11 UMASS swap and assigning MSU-M bracket to Worcester. I will be very surprised if the bracket you laid out isn't the bracket the committee presents.
Looks like a UND - SCSU first round matchup which won't happen. What will the committee do to avoid that? Can they swap 2 seeds, 8 and 7 specifically, to follow protocol? Or will they look for a 3 seed swap?
Can't play puck on other side. Have to cross redline during the long change period during a delayed penalty. It's a long ways to go in some rinks with penalty boxes n pa in between benches.
Moy and Connelly have a new one out. Thought it was a pretty straight forward week except for the final swap with 6 - 11 out to Worcester and 5 -12 to Loveland. I thought swapping 11 UMASS with 12 MTU addressed the attendance in Worcester.
Agree, we would be in Loveland if it was today. It would be close to a straight up bracket with exception of swapping 14 NE with 15 OSU. I don't think OSU will be in the mix after the weekend though and who knows what will happen in HE.
