BLECH!! One of the things the ECAC has going for it is that it actually
eliminates teams. To my mind, it's bush-league to let everybody in the
playoffs. I'm happy the CCHA is going to start eliminating teams next year.
 
<Flame suit on> No disrespect intended, but should Mass-Amherst really have a
chance at the NCAA Championship? Should Ohio State? IMHO, no, not this year.

I don't understand why HE doesn't eliminate the bottom team from the playoffs.
Actually, I do understand. It's an extra home gate for the 8th place team,
and I suspect the league gets some of that revenue.
 
Letting everybody into the playoffs renders the regular season almost
totally meaningless. For proof of this, look at what happened to CC last year.
I think the playoffs should be a reward for teams, not a right.
 
See you later,
