Maybe the NC$$ isn't doing anybody any good by putting them at home, after all. Since they started placing teams at home in regionals a couple of years ago, those home teams are 1-4 and none have survived the regional. Hell, Lowell should have been happy to have the opportunity to play MSU at Munn, especially considering the way the Spartans have played the past few weeks. For the record, RPI lost at home in 94 to someone (I forget who), MSU lost to Mass-Lowell in Munn in '94 and '96 and Wisconsin beat MSU at Madison last year but then turned around and lost to michigan. Some advantage. --Steve Moerland MSU '92, UK 'Oh, about 10 days from now HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
