      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...

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.
        Ah ok, that makes sense! I should have assumed, but wasn't sure, thanks for clarifying. Too many numbers hurt my already gigantic noggin

          Good point, it didn't look right but it did highlight the status of the program these days...

              Not UMass, our record in Amherst in recent years has been horrid.

                I think they'll get home ice, but I'm more concerned about not getting UNH until the final.

                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.
