Overall, I thought the seedings were "fair", within the rules set up by the NCAA
maybe LSSU deserved a bye...
maybe Providence deserved a bid...
but, LSSU did make it and they remain in the WEST, so they can still prove that
they are the best.
and, if Providence was the best they would have won the HE tournament thus,
securing a bid.
 
Random Observations/Opinions:
LONGEST SHOT TO WIN - Clarkson,  They also may have the toughest Regional M
                      matchups, a PEAKING NMU and very strong Michigan, just
                      to make the round of 4.
MOST LIKELY TO SUPRISE - St. Lawrence, although they did get a bye, I believe
                         there are many who still would say they don't deserve
                         it, but I think you may see them in the Final game.
THE FAVORITE - Maine, most would agree, not a very fun position to be in.
DON'T TAKE THEM LIGHTLY - Every team, it only takes (at the most) 4 wins to
		          win the championship, a HOT goalie or a team peaking
                          at just the right time could be any one of the 12...
 
Sit back and enjoy, and GOOD LUCK to all..
See you in PROVIDENCE/ALBANY.
