David Parter says, with regard to the WCHA:
"Playoffs:
As recently reported, the playoffs will have 10 teams this
season. In the first round, 1 plays 10, 2 plays 9, etc, in a
best-of-three series at the higher ranked team. For the second
round, the teams a re-seeded, and 1 plays 5 (on either
wednesday or thursday, I don't remember), then the usual 1-4
and 2-3 matchups in single-elimination games at the St. Paul
Civic Center. I hope I got this right (and I'm sure someone
will correct me if i have it wrong)."
i don't remember what i did see, but it seems like it'd make more sense to have
a 4-5 matchup (as opposed to 1-5) in the 2d round to shrink the pool from five
to four teams. With a 1-5 match, the #2 team has an easier trip to the
division final four than #1 (they'd only have to beat the #9 team, as opposed
to beating #10 and #5, and all us RPI fans know that #1 beating #10 is not a
given. :) )
