What happened to PWR this year?

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

maybe,, I thought they said 5,

From adamw's update this morning:

Because five NCHC teams will make the NCAA Tournament, the Committee can, according its manual, allow those two teams to meet. But it has never done so before when five teams from the same conference made it. It has only done so once, when six WCHA teams made the field in 2008.

OK, I was mis-remembering that statement by Adam as "they can't do it."  My bad.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Of course, after I say BC locks it up, BU goes on a 5 min power play and gets one back.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

6-2 BC, final.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

B1G final going to OT.

Some more YATC:  If Michigan beats MSU, NoDak is 5, Maine is 6.  If MSU beats Michigan, Maine is 5 and NoDak is 6.

It's 5 -- but they've never done it with five. They've only done it once - when the WCHA had 6.

Maine first round is my hope, very beatable team.

[upprdeck]

well MSU won and denver up 2 late

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

well MSU won and denver up 2 late

Now up 3.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

And final.  

We're #12 and Maine is #5.  Should be fun.

Well today worked out perfectly, I'll sleep easy tonight.

Those are the 4 groupings I came up with, too.

I'm guessing our bracket ends up in STL, and the BU/Minny bracket ends up in Sioux Falls.

[upprdeck]

yeah Omaha has to play there so  BU would go there
maybe denver go to St louis and they move Umass around to stay east

[upprdeck]

early projection has in Mass vs maine and denver vs mass there as well
