If there was one game I could go to, logistics be ****ed, it would be this one!

Sadly, I can't go to any games this Saturday, even though two of them are in my "backyard."

Every Point vs Adrian game, that I have seen in person, has been terrific...two offensively talented teams...great forwards...
I am thinking that Point wins by two, last one into an EN..
But I am committed to the Auggie vs Green Knight game @ the CCC.

I know they are not in the tourney, but what happened to Eau Claire? They used to have some great talent come down from bottom end D1 players. Has that not been happening recently?

They are still a very good team. Having seen all the top West teams in person this year, I would rank them above Augsburg and about even with Adrian. Point just had their number this year, which made it really hard to get a bid with the 0-3 against them. To further this, I have no idea how to rank Norbert. The game against Point was possibly the worst officiated game I have been to all year. It was horrible calls left and right on both teams. No team was able to really get going in any sustainable way. There was no flow. All that I can state after that games is:

1) SNC Powerplay was ahead of the UWSP Penalty Kill at that point of the season
2) Gordichuck should never have started a game for UWSP against any team that is not Finlandia.

Of course you know that Augsburg swept the series this year with UW- Eau Claire, right? 2-0. I looked at that first game as a measuring stick and then to win the next game was a good sign for Augsburg. I assume you know more than I do about hockey but that claim seems a bit out of whack.

I know this but I still feel that EC was a better overall team. Augsburg definitely had their number this year though. Northland also tied UWSP this year, yet no one would state that Northland (who did improve greatly this year) is as good as UWSP.

CUW swept SNC in a home and home series. Haven't heard any arguments that CUW should be the 1 seed in the West.
 
Re: 2017 Playoffs

I Like Norbert, Plattsburgh, Norwich & Stevens's point.
Plattsburgh's for real, the reason why Geneso dropped out of the rankings? Plattsburgh beat them twice since Christmas. The reason why Oswego dropped to the #4 seed in the east? Plattsburgh beat them twice in the last month. As hard as this could be for the Oswego seniors/fans/myself to watch, Plattsburgh is going to play in the championship game against Norwich. I think Norwich will finally stop them.
