Well, I *can* find an excuse around that one. As John Whelan notes, this is
a second round match-up. Maine would have to win against Minnesota first,
but it *does* set up the potential for a packed-house game (BC and Maine
obviously know each other well). If you swap locales for the #5 seeds, BC
could end up playing Providence. Same problem. You *could* push to make BC
the second seed, I guess. Bottom line - better potential for a big draw in
Worcester, should Maine defeat Minnesota. There won't be a lot of east-east
matchups in this tournament, with the way things played out

Have to give you that one. What makes even less sense to me (know that I've
looked at this thing a little closer) is that there are more WCHA teams
playing in the east regional than there are in the west.
