    -RPI will now award 90% of a win for winning in OT and 10% of a win for losing in OT (this part is minor news)

    -Looking looks minimizing fights in the quarterfinals might go away in 2019-2020???!!!????!!!?!
    Starting a new thread to combine all the numbers related things

    So turns out the RPI thing appears to have been rejected, which means I'm about 20% happier than I was this weekend: https://www.bcinterruption.com/bosto...-womens-hockey

      Slightly off point, but if the ECAC had an ARM, we could learn when in recorded history both Brown and Union had 2Ws at this point in the season.

        Brown actually had two W's after its first two games two seasons ago, when it played Sacred Heart. Won 6-1, 7-0. Finished the season 7-22-0.

          GRaNT Rankings are out -- although I'll feel better about them after Franklin Pierce plays a few more games lol

            The ECAC is looking for a prosthetic ARM, if you will.

                  I ran a geometric mean on each conference using KRACH -- the main takeaway here is that the bottom of the ECAC is really, really bad:

                  Code:
                  WCHA	WHEA	ECAC	CHA
                  1813.09	637.67	387.65	189.04
                  993.18	514.85	338.09	115.10
                  447.41	360.75	319.61	70.43
                  358.69	257.41	205.15	41.90
                  89.35	159.44	141.90	15.96
                  77.49	127.30	79.41	12.76
                  20.65	91.46	76.06	48.54
                  236.45	54.67	67.67	
                  	38.65	29.82	
                  	8.68	21.92	
                  	126.36	19.87	
                  		18.58	
                  		83.82
                  Bold number at the bottom is each conference's rating.

                    if 18.58 is really, really bad, what is 8.68?
                    but you are right, 4 teams under 40, even the CHA only has 2

                        You'll notice that USCHO has St. Anselm and mine doesn't (or rather, mine just puts St. Anselm at the bottom). With only 5 teams, the NEWHA will not play enough games against each other to get to the 20 required games against D-I/D-II competition to be eligible for selection (even including the 3 game NEWHA playoffs). However, Post and Sacred Heart play enough non-conference games to qualify, so those two teams *are* included (but won't be a factor).

                          I was crunching down some Frosted Flakes for lunch, and decided to channel my inner TonyTheTiger20 and crunch some numbers too. I know there’s one series left this weekend (actually a pretty interesting one), but the halfway point of the season is a fun time to look at possible NCAA tourney brackets. I looked at travel distances for the Top 10 Pairwise teams, plus the most likely CHA autobid contenders. Barring the predictably unpredictable conference tournament party crashers, this might be a year where bracket integrity survives the perennial travel budget rearrangements. More than likely, the CHA champ will go to Madison or Minneapolis. Ohio State would fly anywhere if they get in (another reason Michigan, Michigan State, and Notre Dame should add women’s hockey, but that’s a discussion for another time…). That leaves a lot of eastern bus trips for 3-4 seeds’ visiting teams, unless OSU gets up to 5 or 6 and gets sent west.

                          There’s a reason they don’t seed the NCAA tournament in December, but it’s still kind of fun to see where the teams might be playing in March!

                              Maybe someone can look at how much Belfast flights/lodging compares to Boston...

                              In all seriousness though, this season's Clarkson-Northeastern matchup should be a good measuring stick for how the top tiers of Hockey East and ECAC compare. Any game results from across the Atlantic will have to be taken with a grain of salt(water), but it should still be fun to see!
