How in the heck does Maine go west while BC stays east. I thought it was a numerical system that seeded the teams?. Oh well, I can't say it wasn't deserved the way Maine tanked at the end of the season. I guss they didn't throw the last 16 clause out after all. Now the rant begins, tell me how it is fair that Maine plays a lower seeded team in their own rink? Michigan doesn't have to travel, doesn't have to pack, heck they get to sit in front of their own lockers. thats BS. If they want it to be fair they have to play at a neutral site. It can still be in Michigan but not at a college rink. Same thing for Minnie. Not to big of an advantage!!!. Maine, Cornell and other can never host a regional in their home rinks so how is that fair?
