... or do we have a couple of damn good Regional Final matchups on tap this afternoon?

BC-Michigan in a matchup of big-name schools which also happen to be big-time hockey programs; Michigan always does well in the regionals, and BC is looking to play for the national title at home.

UMD-UMTC for the umpteenth time this season and the highest stakes of all.  Duluth swept the season series, but lost in the Final Five.  Minnesota is looking for the (ugh) Three-peat, UMD is looking for only their third Frozen Four appearance ever.

So I was thinking, as I occasionally do........next year, USCHO or INCH should have a thing where people can fill out a bracket of what they think will happen in the tournament, similar to a bracket pool that espn.com and other websites do for the NCAA basketball tournament, except for the hockey bracket, we would have to guess the scores of the games as well. I think it would be fun.

There's been one on HOCKEY-L for a while.  I suspect USCHO has a enough overhead to worry about this time of year without also managing a fan pool.
