Beavers 1, Lakers 1, BSU gets the extra point with the shootout win. Tech wind outright, cutting BSU'S lead to seven points.

Anyone know why they aren't doing the game worn sweater raffle at the Sanford anymore? They did if the first few games this year and then just stopped.

BSU 3, LSSU 2. BSU with a home and home next weekend with Duluth before they get their first break of the season. Then it will be off to Anchorage and Bowling Green on back to back weekends. The WCHA schedule makers did BSU no favors......

Re: Bemidji State Beavers: 2016-17

Another 5 out of 6 points this weekend. Tech also won tonight so retained the 7 point lead. They are out of conference the next two weekends. Let's get a split next weekend and improve our pwr. Also Princeton swept #7 quinnipiac this weekend and has won 5 of 6 so those losses are nowhere near as bad as they seemed at the time. Hopefully they keep winning and we take care of our business.

I decided to buy the UMD nchc one day pass to watch. Has been a good game so far. Bitzer playing out of his mind. Let's hope they can finish it out here.

Also it is incredibly stupid that nobody gets an extra point after the first ot. Needs to be a uniform rule across all of college hockey on overtime. No reason for the winner to not get an extra point. Yea I realize they aren't in the same conference but I think they should keep track of overall points not as well as conf as these ot games against non conf teams should affect pairwise

I'm just fine with having it be a tie after 5 minutes and having the 3x3 or shootout be for practice.

How would you work the 3x3 into the PWR? Historically, a win is a win. But now we have three types of wins - a 5x5 win and a 3x3 win, and a shootout win. (and maybe a tie, who knows).

When the Powers That Be decide on how each should be treated, then I believe the NCAA will adopt it across the board.
----------------------
One man's opinion. I hate the shootout. Play a tie after the 3x3. So then we have
3 points for a win playing 5x5
2 points for a win playing 3x3
1 point for a loss playing 3x3 or a tie.

Winning pct = total points earned / (games played x 3)
In H2H a 5x5 win trumps a 3x3 win. Ditto on CoP.

Standings would look like
GP....W5....W3....L5....L3....T....PTS....Win%

Pts = W5*3 + W3*2 + L3 + T

If you win 34 games playing 5x5, that's 102 points. If you win every game in 3x3, that's only 68 points.

This should put the onus on trying to win 5x5 and not go into the extra session.

Feel free to shoot holes in it.

This... ties are fine in hockey.

I really like this idea. Generally don't like ties though and it is very rare you go through a 3 x 3 ot without a winner but If they don't want to do the shootout they could make the ot periods longer as well. No way somebody doesn't score in a 10 min 3 x 3. Your idea is much more likely though and I would be happier with that then having no extra points for non conf 3 x 3 winners

1. I am fine with a tie.
2. I don't like change, so 2 pts for a win just seems correct.
3. A tie should be half as many points as a win. If 2 teams are equal, they shouldn't be penalized a half a point. Should split points equally and that can't happen with 3.

Re: Bemidji State Beavers: 2016-17

Last nights game should be considered a tie. Although I like the 3 on 3, I abhor shoot outs. The 3 on 3 victory is good for bragging rites and that's about it. If a conference wants to use it to award an extra point in conference - that's up to them.
