Highly unlikely that they will be placed in Western's regional. Committee has shown in years past that they try to keep the potential regional finals at 1/8, 2/7, 3/6, 4/5. If the committee wants to avoid the possibility of an All-NCHC Frozen Four (which I don't believe they really care about), they can do so by pairing SCSU with Minnesota (who will almost certainly be placed with Western).

Do you think they’ll put UND in same bracket as Western Michigan to set up a game with them for the 6th time? I think not. I see us heading to Albany for a date with Notre Dame, then possibly Mankato. It makes no difference whether four teams from the NCHC make the FF. Let the cards fall where they may. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 The simplest bracket is straight chalk. The only conflict is UND/SCSU. You swap SCSU and UMass. You look at that and see … Mankato/Harvard and UND/UMass and say Worcester because of two MA teams. You quietly ask Michigan “Albany or Allentown” and WMU gets the other. Presto. Done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was because Motzko complained after getting owned by Mankato last year and said it wasn't fair. Meanwhile UND didn't complain and played a 5 OT game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s possible but makes less sense than just putting UND up against Notre Dame in Albany. Besides “Wooster” is a crap hole. Should have never been a selected site in the first place.

The Sicatoka Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 The committee worries about “flights”. So why select three regional sites that are within 300 miles of each other when the fly/drive cutoff is 500 miles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be pretty straight forward. Do they swap Notre Dame and SCSU or do they swap SCSU and UMass? If they swap SCSU and UMass does that then become the Worcester Regional and the Worcester Regional become the Albany Regional or even the Allentown Regional if Michigan wants Albany?

cberkas Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Albany: (ECAC) Mankato vs Harvard UND vs Michigan Tech Worchester: (Atlantic Hockey) Western Michigan vs Northeastern Minnesota vs St. Cloud Allentown: (B1G) Michigan vs AIC Quinnipiac vs Notre Dame Loveland: (Denver - NCHC) Denver vs Lowell Duluth vs UMass So, a flight is a flight. Looking at host teams/conferences to use that as a way to boost attendance that never happens unless certain teams host the regionals. So, the attendance argument should be thrown out every year. Michigan and Notre Dame being at the B1G regional or Michigan and Minnesota there. With ECAC hosting in Albany send Harvard there, they could send Quinnipiac there but i see them keeping the #1 overall seeds bracket true. I'm starting to think that when selecting teams there should be a human element in selecting 4 seeds to maybe the lowest 3 seed. Granted Ohio State didn't make it and really shouldn't have losing in the first round of the conference tournament. I would have put UConn in over Northeastern or Lowell, it should mean something if you beat a "bubble team" to make the championship, and then they get in over you after you lose the conference title game. I'd say the same for St. Cloud as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochsioux Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Does the selection committee consult with Mel Pearson to ensure the matchups for Michigan meet his approval? Or do they risk that Michigan will cancel a playoff game if they don’t like the matchup? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
