Okay, this has probably been pondered, discussed, and philosophized to death
around this time every year, but since my delete key goes into overdrive
whenever I see the same subject line continuing for days, even weeks on end
(in other words, I probably dropped out of reading the discussion before its
resolution ;-) ), I have one question:
 
Why doesn't the ECAC do a 2 out of 3 series in the same manner as the other
leagues?  In other words, why don't they just play every game to completion?
 
Yes that was 2 questions, but it was really only 1 question worded 2 ways. :-)
Now, does anyone have a definitive answer?  Right now I have the old Sesame
Street song going through my head:  "Which of these leagues is doing its own
thing....."
 
Just curious,
