hey Mark, did you take a VW bus to all those shows?!?  Geesh :-)
btw, has anyone seen the new VW bug?  I heard it has a place to put flowers
in the dash...hello, Volkswagon, the 60's are over, man...

you must still be recovering from the Dead shows.  ;-))

Regarding the weather post, I absolutely agree.  I've been wearing shorts
to work the last 3 days.  First time I've ever done that in March.  Even
though the temps are closer to "normal" today (& dipping as the week
continues), it's still better than 2-3' of powdery white stuff.  If the
Frozen Four was in Boston last year, that would have been a horror show -
or a 3-day love-in like the 78 Beanpot.

Regarding scrapping the neutral sites for regionals, I don't think this is
a good idea.  In addition to the reasons already mentioned, underdogs
upsetting higher seeds (which seems to happen often) would mean multiple -
potentially long distance - road trips.  That wouldn't be as bad if the
regionals decided not to swap 2 East/West teams & become all East - all
West.  But, I enjoy seeing other teams I wouldn't otherwise see.

Thankfully, that was an aberration for hockey.  That score is more like an
early-season steriod-ball blow-out between Nebraska (or any big-time
power-house) & No Name U.
