Re: Hockey East Playoff Picture
If it gets to the point where BU looks incredibly unlikely to get home ice (are we there already?) we should probably just play to get BC in the quarterfinals... the Eagles seem to be the only team we can get up against! Except maybe UMass...Let's go Terriers!
It hasn't taken me long to realize, everybody here knows a lot more than me about college hockey...

Re: Hockey East Playoff Picture
Originally posted by JB View PostThe road in numbers are the composite record of remaining opponents. I only used in league records. Take the winning % of all remaining opponents and averaging. This says that BU has the easiest road in with their average opponent only winning 43.6% of the time in league. This makes sense with BU playing 6 of there last 9 against PU, UVM and NU or teams 7,8 and 10 in league.
For several years I have been playing with a better way to predict the end of season records and understand when things are locked in for a certain team. This type of remain schedule information is "free" based on the other stuff I am looking at. One of these days I will actually come-up with something useful. I really only work on it for a couple hours per year and hence nothing gets advanced. One of these days if I get the motivation I will write a computer program to spit out the data instead of doing it by hand with tables.

I like our chances better in a final game in the Garden than a semi...no real science, just a feeling that UNH will already be in and have a seed 90% pinned down while we'll still be trying to make sure we're in or don't get a terrible seed.I believe in life, and I believe in love, but the world in which I live in keeps trying to prove me wrong.
