BTW, it's great to see the ECAC providing so much public information,
both via their web site <http://hockey.ecac.com/>, and now here.

I'm glad to see that the order of the semifinals gives the winner of
the 4/5 game as much rest as possible. The extra game (and the
uncertainty of whether it'll be your last) is bad enough without
having to play a rested team the afternoon after your play-in the
night before. (Princeton had to do this last year.) I still hope the
ECAC gets rid of the Final Five as soon as possible, but in the mean
time they may as well minimize the raw deal given to the 4 and 5
seeds.
