Clarkson's final four appearance was in '91, not '92, so the rules were different. Clarkson had to play a third game at LSSU. The principle I cited still existed -- a very tired team may well have to meet a rested team in a very grueling sport. The rules change after '91 was partly to avoid such things. We can, however, do much better in terms of fair competition and at the same time improve the popularity, visibility, and financial well being of college hockey. Sixteen teams!
