    I was just assuming that once they got to Schenectady, there was a transporter device or something there.

        Given how a lot of the regionals have been having difficulty with attendance, maybe a 2200-seat crackerjack box would be perfect! But yea, how long has it been since regionals were not on a neutral site? Not as far as I can remember...

        They'd probably steal one from us; they're good at that. http://www.withoutapeer.com/2010/11/uh-blackout.html

          It wasn't that long ago that Mariucci hosted, 2-3 years, I think. It was the year that UMD beat Princeton in OT after tying the game with .8 seconds left.

            2009 Tournament. It was the same year that UNH tied UND with less than a second and then won in overtime, and Miami blew a two goal lead in the title game with less than a minute. It was a crazy tournament that year.

              It wasn't just the national tournament. In the ECAC, the 11 and 12 seeds got past the first round. Wasn't there also a weird PWR moment where an 8th place team in a league had a chance to make it to the tournament at-large?

                Wow, a lot of excitement over a little typo.

                  Well, in '09, Duluth was the 7th place team in the WCHA, and could have made it as an at-large team, but wound up winning the Final Five to automatically advance.

                  I'm not sure if you are thinking about '06 when Bentley had a chance to give 2 Atlantic Hockey teams bids to the NCAA's. Had they beaten Holy Cross in the title game, Bentley would have been the auto-bid, and as a result they would become an automatic TUC. That would have given Holy Cross an extra 4-1-0 record against that TUC and would have vaulted Holy Cross up to a #3 seed. However, Holy Cross beat Bentley, got the autobid, and went on to defeat Minnesota in the first of a series of "epic" upsets in the NCAA Tournament. Had Bentley beaten Holy Cross for the Title...who knows what would have happened.

                    UVM last year.

                    Only it wasn't a chance; they actually made it. To be fair, the distance between third and ninth in HEA last year was 4 points, and UVM had a 6-1 OOC record, including wins over tournament team Yale and Denver, and two IC wins against BC.

                        There would be a ton of possibilities under the current rankings. I based almost all of my final decisions on attendance:

                        East:

                        1. Yale
                        2. Denver
                        3. Union
                        4. RIT

                        Northeast:

                        1. UNH
                        2. RPI
                        3. Merrimack
                        4. Dartmouth

                        Midwest:

                        1. Minnesota-Duluth
                        2. Wisconsin
                        3. Notre Dame
                        4. Western Michigan

                        West:

                        1. BC
                        2. North Dakota
                        3. Michigan

                          This week’s brackets

                          St. Louis
                          14 Nebraska-Omaha vs. 2 Boston College
                          11 Notre Dame vs. 6 North Dakota

                          Green Bay
                          13 Western Michigan vs. 3 Minnesota-Duluth
                          12 Michigan vs. 8 Wisconsin

                          Bridgeport
                          16 RIT vs. 1 Yale
                          9 Union vs. 5 Denver

                          Manchester
                          15 Dartmouth vs. 4 New Hampshire
                          10 Merrimack vs. 7 Rensselaer

                          Looks like the only difference was between Michigan and Notre Dame. My reasoning was Michigan would help attendance in St. Louis more than ND would.

                            What he might have been thinking (I'm not sure, I didn't read the article) is that Notre Dame is a bus trip to St. Louis while Michigan is a flight no matter where they go.
