Nate needs to start sitting guys when they are playing “stupid” hockey or this is going to continue to go on. Tell me why Kav is even in the lineup?

    He has 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 points, and a minus 8. Can’t get much worse than that

        3-1 PC after 2. A bad opening with the five minute squander and giving up the power play goal, but a good bounce back

            Wow. Your coach must’ve been an idiot, desperate or both.

              And... here comes Bruno for a matinee game at the Coffin on Saturday.

              PC definitely needs to win here - but it's a Mayor's Cup game and weird things happen. Brown has a good power play this year and we cannot stay out of the box.
              I was bored on Friday night and noticed that in the pairwise, the only team in Hockey East that would be in if the season ended today was BC at 13. Not us or UML or UMASS or Northeastern. Just BC. Thank goodness it's only November.

                That's why they can't lose the OOC games starting this Saturday....

                Big weekend after that with the UML matchup especially after losing already to UML at home....

                  Why are the national polls and the pairwise so different?

                    Pairwise is an algorithm, but it takes a few months for the data samples to be large enough to give an accurate depiction. Later in the season, the pollsters will generally start to tailor their votes more closely to the Pairwise rankings. The more accurate rating system for the moment is KRACH, but that one isn't used to determine the tournament seeds, so it becomes less relevant over time.

                    So, for example, the Friars are currently 23 in the Pairwise but 16 in KRACH. Anyone who's watched them this year would tell you they're closer to 16 than 23, but that 23 will normalize over time.

                      Good explanation. The polls are mostly meaningless, but fun to argue about - especially last year when one guy kept giving UMASS and not SCSU a first place vote and it went over poorly in Saint Cloud.

                          Only in league game is the NU/UNH matchup today in Ireland. So those 2 will make up one game in hand they have on the Friars. (UNH has only played 6 HE games, NU 9 while the Friars have played 10 so far).

                          Meanwhile, Friars playing the Mayor's cup tomorrow against a Brown team that just lost Tuesday night. Never know what going to get from Brown, but for PC this is a must win from a Pairwise point of view (not one that brings you up but will certainly bring you down if lose).

                          Let's hope the hockey friars are in a better frame of mind vs the bball friars who have stunk up the place in their first 7 games.

                            PC needs to stay out of the box and if we get a lead, add to it. And avoid whatever happened in the second period at Matthews.

                            I really like Ed Cooley, but what is going on over there? This is two years in a row of coughing up leads late in games in bizarre fashion.

                                They certainly have. The out of conference blown leads against Holy Cross and Colgate were pretty ruinous.
                                The basketball team has been doing that in every game for two years. Slight difference.
