      Other than that, they're doing a great job.

          The PW is the only one that matters (as you know), and if UC stays in the top-5 there, they'll be in good shape for an AL bid, should things go sideways in the silly conference-AQ "calculus".

            Looks like the coaches poll was right Fish...Canton was never a top 5 team in the country

              My point was that the coaches' poll doesn't matter...

              And it doesn't.

                  Not sure at all why Canton's performance is *seemingly* pertinent to this discussion. People can pick nits for the sake of an argument, sure, but I don't recall anyone touting Canton as a contender, and certainly not me. They had a good start, have fallen back to the pack since then, and I have barely noticed.

                  Again, the beauty contest means nothing, whether Canton is "ranked" #1 or # 50. That's the point here.

                  The only metric that carries an ounce of weight via an AL bid is the PWR. Nothing else is worth wasting the key-strokes on.

                    Thats my point. The PWR had them at #4 and the coaches poll didnt have them anywhere close to that. Almost like they knew they didnt belong or something...

                      Just curious, box score shows last night's attendance over 4300. I think 3915 is sold out, did they sell 400 plus SRO tickets ?

                        Another "W" for Utica today. They could be a tough out come post season time. Wouldn't want to see them across the ice in March.

                          Well, maybe water sought its own level over time. (The PWR just crunched what numbers it had to process it at that early moment.)

                          The more data, the better.

                          (And, oddly, losing to Oswego this year qualifies as a bad loss.)

                            If they did, nobody stood, Shabby.

                            UC sells a lot of no-show corporate blocks, which usually inflates attendance numbers. The only time(s) I've seen every seat occupied were TBT's and the post-season games.

                              Weird game.

                              Utica was up 2-0 after one, with a 20-1 SOG advantage. Utter domination. M'ville got close in the 2nd on maybe 5 shots, total, at that point. (The 5x3 didn't hurt.)

                              The officiating was putrid. Looked like the WWE with all the clutching and grabbing out there, and M'ville did it all.

                              I am biased for sure, but if that crap is let go, we're looking at mid-80's hockey again. Even the MC dad next to me commented that unless they pull a gun, it's all good.

                                Well, the poll had Utica at #12 or so back then, too. Same difference. No accountability nor logic was involved in either instance.
