With results of today, including OSU losing, I think UNH will be the only Eastern team with a bye. Despite the (WZON) radio implications of 2 Eastern teams getting 1st round byes, this will not be the case this year. The NCAA byes will come from the 4 highest rated teams of the 12 selections. (Rating slightly different from PWR as you see it on USCHO.com). With results already in, I can't find a scenario where Maine or BU or Cornell can get a bye ... in fact, UNH may well be in the 2-3 bracket (still 1E), instead of 1-4. Late in 1st period, UNH leads Maine 1-0 in an apparently roughly even game. cheers, wayne
