Single game semi's also helps the underdog - should make the conference tourney even more unpredictable.

Originally posted by Timothy A View PostAgreed. I think UW singlehandedly torpedoed the B6 conference the last 2 years, they did no one any favors. Plus every league has doormats, it's not like all the B6 teams can be in the top 16 anyway. UM um and UW will get back to the place where they are annual top 10 teams, and once and awhile, tOsu, UND, MS and PS will float to the top too.Originally posted by alfablueStill bitter, eh? Gotta get over it someday. He left, and UMICH was right.Originally posted by Nick PapagiorgioI think Notre Dame should wear sparkly silver helmets to match all their runner-up trophies.

Originally posted by Hockeybuckeye View PostI would hope with this being the last year of the Joe's existence it will draw better. I know I'll be there not only for the BTT but the Wings will be playing the hated Avalanche in the afternoon before the championship game that evening. Got to be there for that as well!

Originally posted by Bonin21 View PostThe one thing I LOVE about it is how meaningful the regular season title becomes with that first weekend bye. Until an eighth team is added, of course.
And in addition to the destruction they became the most irrelevant hockey conference in the NCAA.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

I wonder how the playoffs would be arranged if the B1G's wooing of Arizona State hadn't fallen through?

Originally posted by ScoobyDoo View PostYou're kidding right? They took the one conference with a super successful following for their playoff and destroyed it for a TV Network. They certainly didn't do it because they could put butts in the seats.

I was stating that given the world we're currently living in, I like that the winner of the crappy conference gets the bonus of going directly to the semifinal game (at home).
In all honesty, the NCHC is way better than the Big Ten right now. 3 on 3 overtime >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> shootouts

Re: Big Ten Hockey 2016-2017
When we go to on campus playoffs I wonder what Ohio State will do?
For years they've contracted with the Ohio High School Athletic Association to host state wrestling and basketball championships here and kick the hockey team off their own ice because sadly Ohio State is all about the money and not the athletes.
Now the CCHA had no clout with the university and was helpless to change it but the B1G may see things differently and they could make OSU accommodate the hockey team and have them play on their own ice in the Schott. The conference should have no tolerance for OSU to try and put them back in the old 800 seat original arena for playoffs.
