I used the app

The adjusted RPI is different on the USCHO app than the webpage. ??

And WMU's RPI is higher than Maine. I missed that.

I used RPI on USCHO

Would it look like this if it were today? West 4 UMD – 13 ASU 6 DU – 10 OSU M-West 2 MSU-M – 15 Maine 7 Penn – 11 UML East 3 Corn – 14 Mich 5 BC – 12 BS N-East 1 UND – 16 AH Winner 8 Mass – 9 Clark

Who needs to be swapped within the 4th. band? I see a swap in the 3rd.

It’s been quite some time then. I wasn’t aware of that, thanks. ND should do this as well.

As it should be. Hockey Canada - 1 rule book. USA we use 3 to 4 depending upon the league. This particular rule is different in USA Hockey, NFHS, and NCAA. I wasn’t aware Minnesota was allowed to see how this looks. Is this pilot project exclusive to Minnesota or all Federation participants?

New bracketology out from the guys at USCHO. Once again I get Connelly’s rationale even though I don’t like it this week. He states UND in Loveland instead of Allentown due to proximity. If that’s the case we should hope for the 2 spot overall so we can go to Allentown, I’d rather see us there than Loveland. Only benefit is that it is a drive for folks that would do so. Moy has the same but then swaps teams in the 3rd. band which I feel is unnecessary as the brackets are about as good as they can get for attendance. He avoids 1 and 2 matchups from the same conf. being placed in the same regional. Seems a bit arbitrary to me.

And it's free!

I really enjoyed watching the brothers from Morden, in particular Chay. Maybe gave some up on the back end but man for wheels and skill.

Mine is the same.

Penn State

And NDAHA is extremely protective of their “own”.

Don’t forget Fargo N/S/Sh., GF and West Fargo United. I feel that NDHSAA is not interested in growing girls hockey or any hockey in general. Some of these issues may have been resolved already if that were the case. i.e 2 class system etc...

Maybe the regionals should be allowed on campuses again? The facilities are dedicated to hockey and attendance issues might be avoided to a degree. Not sure why the ice would be poor at Scheels Arena though, unless it really has to do with the short turn around with logos and ice setting up.

I can't remember the last time it was this bad.

That's a tough task.

Attendance in Albany. I agree this does not protect the number 1 overall seed but that doesn't seem to matter (with the writers and past committees) past the first round. I think attendance would take precedence if it were today.

It appears I have to subscribe. I recall viewing the stream without subscribing the past few years. Does anyone know if a subscription will be necessary? Thanks!

Weekly Bracketology is out. I agree with Connelly's logic much more than Moy. Moy cited preserving bracket integrity for 2/7 thus putting 1 in Loveland. I would argue why would bracket integrity matter after moving 3 in the same bracket as 8? I do agree with moving Cornell to Albany but bracket integrity is out at that point. The 3rd. seed swapping makes sense too for attendance in Albany.

Yes he did, early/mid 90s. When Landon Wilson was playing.

Am I correct to assume WDAY/WDAZ will provide TV and streaming coverage of the games this weekend?

I think the committee would want Cornell in Albany for attendance, maybe they would send 2/15 out west and have 1/16 play in the mid-west? They would still run into the number one overall in the same regional as a host school.

Somewhat straightforward after the weekend. What I think it should be: West 3 Corn 14 WMU 6 DU 11 BS M-West 2 MSU-M 15 Minn 7 Penn 10 Clark East 1 UND 16 AIC 8 Mass 9 OSU N-East 4 BC 13 ASU 5 UMD 12 NE What I think reality would be: swap 1/16 to West with 3/14 to East Anxious to see what the writers will come up with this week? They (Moy n Connelly) both swapped 2 seeds last week which I thought the committee tries to avoid if a 3 seed swap is available. Few games this week too, AIC/SHU n BC/?
