I recently learned the following:
Hockey East will return to a Best-of-Three playoff format this season
with games taking place Thursday through Sunday.
Hockey East will once again study the playoff format, but wouldn't
commit to the Best-of-Three format for more than 1 year. (I guess the
coaches were trying for a three-year commitment).
Number 9 is out. There won't be a play-in game between #8 and #9 for
the last seed in the HE tourney.
And now for the big one (this will perk up the list)
The shootout is back! By a 5-4 vote, the shootout returns for another
year.
