[twelve-team ECAC playoff format deleted]

        Actually, only the WCHA now lets everyone into the playoffs.
Hockey East takes 8 out of 9 and the CCHA takes 8 out of 11.  The WCHA
invited Mankato State to their playoffs so they could take 10 out of 9
and keep their crazy Final Five format.
 
        I prefer having some teams not make the postseason, since it
gives teams at the bottom something to fight for.
