  • Turn out the lights on Notre Dame

    Comment


    • For some reason, Notre Dame has been just absolutely abysmal at their home rink this year - 5-10-1 record at home with 42 GF and 51 GA. For comparison, they are 9-2-1 away with 39 GF and 21 GA. On the road, they have been a very solid squad. At home, they have been a completely different, much worse team. Very bizarre. Especially considering they got four home games against Arizona State in there (and they only went 2-2 in those games.)

          Why is DU on your bubble? They can't make it without winning the NCHC tournament.

          • In my mind Denver does not even deserve a look. Winner of PC vs Uconn maybe, but honestly LSSU is easily as good as either of them.

                So LSSU doesn't deserve a look either then? Either that or they all deserve a look.

                  You can take Tech fans' opinions of NCHC teams with a grain of salt. They are still extremely butthurt about conference realignment.

                  That being said, if you want to argue that Denver, because of their record, should not get in...that is a fair argument. If you want to argue that Denver isn't one of the Top 16 teams in the country, well, you lose me there. DU is probably one of the top 8 or so teams in the country talent wise. They have played an absurdly difficult schedule.

                  • Michigan Tech should be thankful for realignment as they're no longer a doormat

                      • Party is over for UConn. And I don't see any reason both LSSU and Bemidji should be in over BG if they lose today.

                          Yep. We can remove Connecticut off the bubble, and it looks like Northeastern will be following them here shortly.

                          • Bowling Green...I think you have played yourself out of the tournament. Bemidji/LSSU winner is in and loser of that game could get in too.

                              While I think Bowling Green is probably on the outside looking in, I'll keep a 20-win team on the bubble for now. If the rest of the tournaments go chalk, my guess is it would come down to BGSU, DU, and UNO for the last spot.

                              • You can take BG out. Those 20 wins come with 10 losses. They have losing head-to-head records against Lake State and Bemidji, and couldn't make it out of the WCHA first round while the others moved on. Both should get in before BG, and there's no way the WCHA is getting 4.
