Wow. Tough break for UNH to head to the road in the QFs after such a great season. Truly a crazy season. Someone very good was going to go on the road as the 5 seed.

[GoUNH]

Here are the tiebreaker rules:

For playoff seeding purposes, the following tiebreakers will be used at the conclusion of the regular season:

1. Head-to-head results between the tied teams

UNH wins season series against BU
BU wins season series against PC
PC wins season series against UNH

There is no clear winner for this tiebreaker between the 3 teams

2. Number of wins in conference play

BU 15 wins
UNH 13 wins
PC 13 wins

BU is the only one to emerge from this tiebreaker, but UNH and PC are still tied

3. Best record against the first-place team(s), then the second-place team(s), then the third-place team(s), and so on

The first place team is Umass-Lowell

UNH has a 3-0-0 record against UML
PC has a 1-2-0 record against UML



According to the rules established, wouldn't this make UNH the 4th seed???

I believe after BU is taken out of the equation then its just PC and UNH, and it starts at rule 1 again.

"If more than two teams finish in a tie, the same criteria will be applied to reduce the number of teams tied, and then the process will commence again."

Bu 3-2-1
pc 2-2-2
unh 2-3-1

Re: UNH Wildcats 2012-2013 Season Thread

Except that there is a clear winner of that first tiebreaker. It goes by best winning percentage of the games between those three teams. That goes to BU. Then, PC. And at that point, even if it went to just a normal two team tiebreak, PC owns that over UNH.

Re: UNH Wildcats 2012-2013 Season Thread

Um, I think NESN was wrong in reporting that UNH clinched home ice. I have UNH in 5th and heading to PC. UNH loses the three team tiebreaker (BU wins that) and then UNH loses the two team tiebreak to PC.

Here are the tiebreaker rules:

For playoff seeding purposes, the following tiebreakers will be used at the conclusion of the regular season:

1. Head-to-head results between the tied teams

UNH wins season series against BU

Has anybody figured out the playoff match ups?

Sounds like UNH travels to Providence this weekend. Lost 3rd place TB's frst to BU, and then to PC.

Not exactly a dream match-up, but short of drawing NU, I'm not sure anything was going to be a good draw the way the "Cats limped across the finish line.

Looking like a "well-earned" 5th place seed for these Mild Cats. Unbelievable. Or is it? Ugh.

Re: UNH Wildcats 2012-2013 Season Thread

Maine, the so-called lower echelon team, has defeated BC (twice) Lowell, and UNH since mid-January. The point is there are no easy teams in the quarterfinals. No team should quake in their skates or skate with a stick up their butt. Should make for some exciting hockey for those who enjoy close games like the Maine-UNH game today.
