Re: 2019 NCAA Tournament Thread - Regionals are the best weekend of hockey all year
BG would have been bumped, not PC. Going into Hockey East tournament I thought PC was most balanced team in the league and would win it. Perhaps we get the HE title game that never was.
Oh and three shutouts in regional finals, plus two other shutouts and 5 other games where losing team scored one goal. I don't need a 6-5 game but come on, how about some goals.

Originally posted by The Rube View PostIt was a hit to the head. That will always be reviewed, as per the rules. It's either 5 or nothing. Was with a hardcore MSU fan yesterday, and even HE admitted it was the right call.MTU: Three time NCAA champions.

Originally posted by manurespreader View PostSure but there was no call at the time. so to say that they would have reviewed because it was a hit to the head? How would they know? I don't believe they would have gone back but for the crowd howling, however sure, they might have. It just seems awfully fortuitious.

If you can't admit that virtually every coach would pick to play in their home town, you are a clown.

That's not the argument, and the more a person tries to make it the argument the more foolish they look.
…
but to claim the "neutral" sites have eliminated location advantage is stupid at best and dishonest at worst.

Re: 2019 NCAA Tournament Thread - Regionals are the best weekend of hockey all year
Originally posted by Stauber1 View PostThe ENTIRE reason for moving to neutral sites for the regionals was to eliminate advantage based on location. It wasn't done to increase attendance or to make more money.
Originally posted by Stauber1 View PostThat effort to eliminate location advantage has clearly failed.
Originally posted by Stauber1 View PostFirst, Providence received an advantage that was wholly unnecessary to give them - There is no reason why that regional couldn't have been swapped out with another wholesale.
Originally posted by Stauber1 View PostThere was no requirement to place Providence in Providence as they were not the host. They did not "earn" that advantage as they were the bottom seed in their regional. So the only reason to do it was for money
Originally posted by Stauber1 View PostSecond, if there is going to be an advantage handed out, it seems much more fair for that advantage to be dictated by seeding rather than money (or in some cases flat out who can afford to buy it).
In the end, you are contradicting yourself. First, you state there should not be an advantage based on location, but then you say it would be fair if it existed based on seeding. So which one is it, then?

For all the Leah Hextall fans in this thread
It was a somewhat standard call, like many I have had in my 15-year career. I was thrilled that ESPN coordinating producer John Vassallo was asking me to work the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament.
Calling an NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament regional was something I have never done and would further my experience as a play-by-play broadcaster, a role I moved into last year after more than 14 years as a reporter and host.
