Every so often, often at our prompting, Stu does some research about an absurd piece of history that nobody would believe in a million years -- except that it's true! This go-round: The old WCHA playoff system. Stu?
--------------------
The WCHA playoffs used to be set up as a two-game, total-goal series in the '70s and '80s.
Yes. Take however long you need.
There. Much better. Surely, though, this was an opening-round thing, and they went to a best-of-3 or Final Four bracket for the title? Nope, even the conference champ was determined that way.
Well, that's just stupid. I agree. It's like NBC giving Leno five nights a week in primetime to be not funny.
I would have gone with the Brewers giving Randy Wolf $30 million, but yours works, too. Thank you.
