Say what you may about the ECAC, one thing that is always true, year after,
is that the ECAC is the most competitive (intra-league) from top to bottom.
In the first weekend of playoffs where the matchups were #12 at #5, #11 at
#6, #10 at #7 and #9 at #8, 3 of the 4 series were won by the lower seeded
visiting team.

I'm sure that the players on the top 4 bye teams are feeling pretty good
about playing seeds 7, 9, 11 and 12.  Perhaps they should not be feeling
over confident just yet
