Hey look everyone--I'm generating discussion of Around the
Rinks on HOCKEY-L.  On this week's episode, after Adam Wodon, in
discussion with Keith Instone, lays out the process by which the NCAA
seeded the teams, step by step, he mentions that had BU lost to New
Hampshire, they would have fallen so low in the PWR as to be shipped
out West.  Wasn't BU, as host of the East Regional, guaranteed an
eastern berth as in years past?
 
        Does anyone else get the impression that Joe Marsh is doing a
better job as head of the selection committee than Comley did?  None
of this business of issuing and then retracting guidelines (the
Clarkson rule) or waffling over the reasons a team was sent somewhere
(Lowell).  There were rules and the committee followed them.  Now I
would have preferred the general public *know* the rules ahead of
time.  Maybe that'll be the next step.
