I think the National Football League has set a very good example on how re-seeding the playoffs should be done. With the expanded wild-card system, the 3rd team plays the 6th team and the 4th plays the 5th. The 1st team then gets to play the lowest ranked team left. I agree that the NCAA Hockey tournament should work the same way. The #1 seeds in each region should play the lowest seed left in the region in the second round. Therefore, if the 6th seed knocked of the 3rd seed, then the #1 seed should play the 6th seed instead of the 4th or 5th seed. And...We'll be traveling from Boston to Albany. I'm from Springfield, MA so I know interstate 90 pretty well. What do we do when we get to New York? What exit off of I-90 is Albany? Are there any connecting routes or roads we have to take to get to the Knick? thanks for the help, Brian ----------- Brian A. Zive [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] -----------
