Perhaps this remains better suited on the USCHO Message boards, yet I feel
my continued bond with this group to buck tradition, so at the risk of
flames heading my way...here's my question.
 
1.      Western Regional = Olympic Sheet of Ice.  Does this hurt MSU and
favor Wisconsin, UNH and UND who played more on the open surface this
season?
 
2.      1 Week Between Regionals and Phrozen Phour.  Which tacticians do you
think will benefit or do you think an extra week to prepare remains
overrated for a coach emphasizing employing new schemes?
 
Interested in your thoughts on both since each remains new to this year's
tournament.
 
'til then. Carpe Diem.
 
Make it a Great Day.
