Ciskie's bracket definitely riled up the Dawg fans about having to face Bemidji.

You are probably correct on that one, I had Clarkson in my original post twice, fixing that that I ended up swapping 3 seeds instead of the 2 as well.

So they are. Ooops, Easily confused these days I guess. At least I did have the cities right.

Curious to your thoughts on sending Cornell to the East rather than NE. Ithaca is closer to Albany and ECAC is the host at the regional. Attendance?

Yup. AIC would have bumped them with an auto-bid. Minnesota getting the B1G auto-bid bumps #15 UM-Lowell.

A new week, a new guess. Bemidji up to 12th, current conference leaders given auto-bids (AIC , Minn). Cornell placed NE as ECAC host. Tried to maintain bracket integrity. Swapped UMass and Clarkson to avoid 1st round conflict. Northeast - Albany 1) Cornell 2) BC 3) ASU 4) Maine East-Worcester 1) North Dakota 2) UMass 3) Bemidji 4) AIC Midwest - Allentown 1) Mankato 2) Clarkson 3) Penn State 4) Minnesota West - Loveland 1) Duluth 2) Denver 3) Northeastern 4) Ohio State I could see the committee swapping Minn with Maine or AIC....

1. Minnesota 2. Wisconsin 3. Michigan 4t. Duluth/Denver 5. HE and/or Barry Melrose This made me laugh:

Decided to give this a try. Here's my guess for this week: Northeast-Albany (ECAC host): 3) Cornell vs 13) Maine, 7) U Mass vs 10) ASU East-Worcester (Holy Cross host): 4) Duluth vs 13) Quinnipiac, 6) Boston College vs 9) Clarkson Midwest- Allentown (PSU host): 1) North Dakota vs 16) AIC, 8) PSU vs 10) UM Lowell West-Loveland (Denver host): 2) Mankato vs 15) Ohio St, 5) Denver vs 12) Northeastern. Made swaps to avoid first-round conference match ups. (think I avoided them anyway).

Looking forward to it!

Do you mean in the conference? USCHO has him at 33rd in pts. Nevermind... "Goal" scorer. Helps to read the words

Adams/Kawaguchi

Probably my favorite snip from the piece: "After a rough home loss during a challenging 2016-17 season, I sat in the press box typing my game story. My Twitter mentions were buzzing with angry fans sounding off. I saw two comments saying this team was a bunch of losers who had no heart. Then, I looked down on the ice and saw Tucker Poolman and Tyson Jost, wearing street clothes in an empty arena, passing the puck back and forth with a child who was battling cancer, while Christian Wolanin gave a personalized tour of the locker room to another fan with health challenges. The kids were so happy. I thought to myself, if only those angry fans knew: On this night, these players were big winners and they were all heart."

Did the same with my white authentic. VERY jealous of the Frozen Four patch. Pretty much impossible to find one now

As I recall, Allentown/Penn St was the ONLY bid for the Midwest regional. Not a lot of options. And judging by the attendance at Sioux Falls and Scheel's Arena last year, there can be a lot of risk. Good to see Denver put in a bid too.

Way to early for Bracketology to really mean anything. Aside from having to travel to Worcester, it looks like one of the better Regionals to be in.

Fri- Weatherby Sat- Kawaguchi

Frank's Lounge generally has NCHC.tv on for the away games. And a nice bourbon selection

Too Graphic?

Clymer at the 1st period break : "We'll find out what MN players are thankful for" Me: "Not having to play NCHC teams every week".

Well, he is wearing better suits now....

Nice piece on CNH too. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2019/11/14_It-Hit-Us-Pretty-Hard.php
