Stars align for the Lakers. 7-2 win tonight and a home playoff game Wednesday..... #SurviveAndAdvance
 
Re: 2/20 - Playoffs?! The return of the DMG? Ephs!? SCORES!!

Anyone know the SUNYAC tiebreaker rules? Old Jaslow article from 2012 stated it was head-to-head, but the Geneseo parents tonight were under the impression it was fewest losses. I was curious why Geneseo didn't pull their goaltender in overtime tonight. FWIW, WIRY is sure Buffalo is the #2 seed, SUNYAC website shows Buffalo State listed second after Plattsburgh.

Anyone absolutely know for sure???

I'm pretty sure that puts Buff state at 2 and Geneseo at 3, meaning Geneseo will play Brockport on Wednesday.

If that is the case, why didn't Geneseo pull their goaltender in overtime and go for the bye? The loss wouldn't have meant anything to them...

Maybe they were thinking of the game's NCAA tourney implications....where the loss to a ranked team would have hurt them? (if they end up in Pool C consideration)

DMG! DMG!

Superior beats Stout 5-3 and we have a Mini Game!
 
Re: 2/20 - Playoffs?! The return of the DMG? Ephs!? SCORES!!

empty net, shorthanded goal for Lawrence... 6-3 with a minute left

EDIT: Final

All I can say for sure right now is that Collins is a stud--puts the sophomore slump behind him in a big way.
 
Re: 2/20 - Playoffs?! The return of the DMG? Ephs!? SCORES!!

Stout scores early in the DMG. 1:28 gone. We still have 18:32 to go.

EDIT: Superior ties it @ 1 @ 4:48
Not for long. Stout @ 5:37 2-1 Blue Devils
Not looking good for the YellowJackets 3-1 12:48
Superior scores with 0:04.6 left. 3-2 Stout. Miracle time???
Nope

Stout wins the minigame and advances.

Anyone know the SUNYAC tiebreaker rules? Old Jaslow article from 2012 stated it was head-to-head, but the Geneseo parents tonight were under the impression it was fewest losses.

Here are the tiebreaker rules as stated in the 2011-12 SUNYAC Handbook under the Ice Hockey Team Operating Codes and Tournament Information section.

1. The best record of tied teams against each other based on Conference play (tournament play will not be considered).
2. Number of total Conference wins over ties if points are equal.
3. Goal differential against each other in Conference play.
4. Goal differential against all other Conference teams.
5. Coin flip by Commissioner.


Buff State wins the tie breaker (one, two and three)

Found my own answer:

So again, I ask: why wouldn't Geneseo pull their goaltender to try and get the bye and the #2 seed? They can't really harbor Pool C aspirations, can they? Those would also have been enhanced by a win over Plattsburgh instead of a tie. Oh well, let the SUNYAC playoffs begin!

And I was the one who lobbied for number two to be inserted into that list.

Originally, the tie-breaker rule was 1,3,4,5 above. I wrote/argued in my column that conference wins should be the second tie-breaker before dealing with goal differentials. The Commissioner agreed with me, proposed it to the coaches, and they voted to implement it.
 
No new thread needed, I suppose... Carrying-on w/ Wednesday scores...

ECAC West First Round

After 2 in both games...
Elmira - 2
Utica - 1

Nazareth - 1
Neumann - 1
