I think this makes it easier to put Duluth in SF

So be it if so. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very much so. But, you have to beat good teams to win it all. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Bulldogs or someone else.

For sure.
Unless the NCAA doesn't mind shipping Providence to SF and Duluth to Michigan's regional, which would be pure bracket.

I thought the NCAA avoids putting conference foes together for the first round.

Well it would be a second game but they usually just avoid it for the first matchup

Only 1 intra-conference Cornell/Dartmouth. Dartmouth goes West Cornell to Albany

Time to practice is one thing but being gassed is another.  Physically they'll be fresh by Thursday barring injury.  Mentally is another thing.

Congrats Denver.  Nice Try UMD

There is a reason that most teams cut practice down quite a bit late in the season.  The wear and tear on the body in hockey accumulated over a season is substantial. Guys that are dinged up from that accumulation, like Zmolek, will take any extra rest they can get, so any energy you can save is a bonus.

This would far and away be the best scenario for Cornell and the NCAA. It's not like Dartmouth has fans

I just realized that Michael Emerson is on the Merrimack roster.
Remember him?

Had a great USHL year with the Steel averaging over a pt/gm, then came to UND as a FR in fall of 2023.
Only played 6 games in the first half...didn't get a single point...and then went back to the Steel in the USHL.
Ended up at Merrimack for the last two years.

Crazy.
