2019-2020 Ohio State Hockey - Shooting for Detroit (no pun intended)

Re: 2019-2020 Ohio State Hockey - Shooting for Detroit (no pun intended)

Nice team victory tonight. Resukrs in other games wentbthe Buckeyes way as well. Now just take care of your business and things will workout
 
Re: 2019-2020 Ohio State Hockey - Shooting for Detroit (no pun intended)

We had so many chances that went off the iron instead. We've got to get those in the net tonight if we want the win as Michigan State will be desperate for the win.
Michigan lost last night so as long as we win out they can't pass us and Minnesota only got a point which helps but they still need to lose 2 or lose one and tie for less than 3 points.
Can't wait to be there for tonight's game! GO BUCKS!

Minnesota only needs to lose 1 game now. If they lose 1 and win the other 2 they end with 43 points. Ohio state wins the last 3 they end with 43 points. Ohio state would own the tie breaker which is big ten wins.

The other scenario that works is 3 ohio state wins and Minnesota gets 2 points tonight and 4 or less next weekend.
 
Re: 2019-2020 Ohio State Hockey - Shooting for Detroit (no pun intended)

Yes!

Tremendous come-from-behind win. Hats off to Herb & John for their always enjoyable radio call. Note that Herb was fighting through laryngitis, and therefore was "playing hurt." That perseverance is appreciated. Although I must say that Tanner's goal seemed to have a medicinal effect on Herb's voice. ;)

Looking forward to the eyewitness accounts from those who made the trip to East Lansing.

I was there and Mr.PGB and an amazing win it was. I was critical of the officiating most of the game and Rhols was livid when Ahac was put hard into the board's directly in front of coach with no call.
I thought last night's game we capitalized on MS not passing or controlling the puck well and a strong back checking presence from us.
Tonight it was MS capitalizing on our turnovers. I was amazed we got the late PP when we were being mugged most of the game.
I am concerned that Weslund went to the locker room with just under 5 to go in the 2nd and never returned.
To end on a positive note CJ Regula is cleared to play next weekend and ironically it will be against Wisconsin!

OK now answer me this, if Ohio State and Minnesota both sweep next weekend and are tied in first place with 43 points each, what's the Big Ten tiebreaker rule that will crown the regular season champs?

They will be declared co-champions but Ohio state will get the #1 seed because of more conference victories

That was pretty amazing to watch that unfold. Michigan state played not to lose the whole 3rd period. As Hockeybuckeye said turnovers were costly in the first period causing the 2nd goal directly. They cleaned up the play after that and owned the last 25 minutes of the game. Win 2 games next week and no worse than a share of the title.
 
Re: 2019-2020 Ohio State Hockey - Shooting for Detroit (no pun intended)

Ohio State can finish anywhere from 1st-5th. Here is how for each

1st place- Earn 5 or more points and earn the same as minnesota
2nd place- 5 points and Minnesota sweeps Michigan
3rd place 4 or less and Minnesot earns 5 or more( this creates a tie with Penn State and Ohio State loses the tie breakers with Penn State. If both have 12 league wins Penn State earned more points in head to head league games).
4th place- 3 points or less and ND earns 5 or more. OR 2 points or less and Michigan does not sweep Minnesota
5th place- 2 points or less and ND earns 5 or more and Michigan sweeps.
 
Re: 2019-2020 Ohio State Hockey - Shooting for Detroit (no pun intended)

Let us hope we take care of business and the rest will fall into place so we are outright champions.
It would be a new first in our program history to have back to back titles!

That's my understanding as well.

Note that the #1 Seed gets the first round bye. I know that some have legitimate concerns about having the weekend off. But an automatic placement into the 2nd Round would be pretty nice to have.

Thanks for laying out all the scenarios.

The best thing about last night's points is the Buckeyes are back to controlling their own destiny. Win the two games next weekend, earn both a championship and the top seed. All of us would have gladly accepted that scenario at the start of the season.

Besides, Minnesota wants the #2 seed. If you're a Gopher fan, what could be better than ending Wisconsin's season in the playoffs?:D

I dont like the format for the 2nd round. Your #1 seed is put at a huge disadvantage with it not being best 2 of 3. The number 1 seed is not able to lose a game like the others that play in round 1. Your best team who had a week off should get the same as the other teams have. Make that 2nd round 2 of 3 like the ECAC does please. I would almost rather be the 2 seed but being crowned champions is pretty sweet!

If we have the first round bye our game in the second round will be at Nationwide thanks as usual to high school sports taking precident at Ohio State over our own team!

If they would host the champioship game that would have to be moved as well with Boys Basketball in the Schott that weekend.
