The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Well, the UCHC has a brand-new Daddy.
UU played like absolute dog-shit in the 1st in terms of basic D, and who knows why.
I might cite the game-plan, but I don't know what the game-plan was, unless it was "Hang the goalie out to dry as much as you can, via god-awful own-zone moves."
Gotta...
UU will be a genuine sell-out, as in nearly 4,000 actual asses actually seated.
Should help a bit, but I'm not counting my chickens.
Genny is that good,
Simply because each and every conference is allowed to do things as they please does not impart a scintilla of logic to the process.
(And that much certainly doesn't go to "fairness"... It just goes to D3H doing things as it always has, just because.)
D-3 hockey is long overdue for a...
Yup, but I'm giving UU the slight edge, just by dint of the venue.
Should be a great game, or it might become a blowout in either direction... Both teams' offensives are explosive.
I'm expecting an actual 3,900+ asses-in-the-seats sellout come Saturday, which will be fun, both to see and hear...
Clarkson pulled its goalie with about 5 minutes to go, IIRC?
(i probably don't.)
Hated that CU got a bye to the Regional final, but the hockey gods made it right.
Are you saying that either #80 MCLA or #53 Fitchburg has earned a shot into a field of 12 for an NC berth? Please.
It's really not that difficult to do the math, if one has the slightest grasp of what a decent statistical analysis involves. Both programs should have been shit-canned for any...
Damn, that '99 squad carried lunch-pails to the rink every night. Was at the Albany Regional, and that team fought tooth and nail to advance.
The title game..? I needed a bucket of Rolaids to get through that one. UNH was even better than BC that season.
But there was this one guy in net for...
Well, there's that... :p
He was as quick as a constipated possum, and Mush was cut from the same cloth.
Not hating here, both those guys played hard, but you just can't teach "feet".
Well, that addresses the issue at hand... Under-qualified AQ's have displaced really good and deserving AL's for as long as I've been following D-3, which spans each and every year since the turn of the century.
More to the point, when has a gift- AQ ever won a the NC..? (As in, a bad team...
Not really, if the field is selected solely on the basis of an agreed-upon metric.
Clearly, there's always going to be a cut-off point, no matter how large or small the field is.
I suppose, but why even recognize the arbitrary/false construct of a "conference" in the first place, especially when D-3 hockey programs have been playing musical chairs, conference-wise, for years now?
The most equitable approach would be to select and seed the field regardless of conference...
Likewise, but I thought you were ignoring me..?
Put the bottle down, Russ
Of course not, numb-skull.
And who was touting anything like that?
We're discussing the process in general, not any particular program.
You old guys who apparently derive a degree of vicarious personal validation via...
I guess there's about 7 of us -between both teams- who follow Genny and UU on this board...
Having teed that up, what are everyone's predictions for Saturday?
I'd have to go with UU at The Aud, (and I'd favor Genny at the Ira, similarly.)
Both teams are safely in The Show already, barring...
