-- [ From: [log in to unmask] * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- the tuesday system really did bite. consider that if the team that won on tues went to a full three-game series, then by sunday night that had played 6 games in 10 nights! one alternative, of course, would be to have the 7/10, 8/9 play-in on a weekend of its own, either as a single or a 3-game (no 2-game total goals please), this would also allow players on the 1-6 to rest a week and recover from injuries before the playoffs. it would add a week to the ECAC PS, which means they'd need to find an extra week to compress the RS. but i still think the best plan is to go back to an 8 team field. it's not that much to ask that a team crack .400 to make the playoffs. -- greg -- ********************************************* * Greg R.
