If you get a quarterfinal with anybody other than a CHA team -- and a CHA opponent looks unlikely with the location of No. 1 Cornell -- aren't you going to be at least somewhat worried? Wisconsin fans were impressed by Princeton last year. If BU wins, I would think that the committee will want to send the Terriers to Northeastern. Ohio State? You shouldn't get the Buckeyes, but that would be cause for concern.

This looks like a year where we could see more NCAA quarterfinal upsets than we have of late.

We can hope Lindenwood pulls off the CHA upset. A 'drive-able' opponent. :-)

I did say in the UW thread that UW maybe doesn't win another game this season. I wasn't kidding.

I have a definite ax to grind against Clarkson. It was great to wax you guys last year, but that didn't make up for the past. I've been contemplating the what if Clarkson got sent to UW in the first round of the NCAA's and honestly I'd be very worried, our D is too mistake prone and Soup's can is a little leaky this year and a great player like Giguere will convert all those mistakes, she plays every shift, right?

If Clarkson even makes it to the NC$$ Tourney with only 14 skaters, I would think any of the 3 WCHA teams that I expect to make the tourney would wear them down by the 3rd period and win late. Of coarse, they could play Giguere every shift to have a chance ;) .

I think Colgate is a bad match up for them in this first round. While a young team, Colgate has a much more balance offense that has gotten better as the season has progressed. They may have an abysmal record against top teams going 1-9-3 in 13 games. And they have struggled all year when away from Hamilton, going 5-8-1 in road games. However, the two regular season games that were played ended up a 2-1 CCT win in early Nov @ CCT with Giguere netting both goals and a 2-2 tie on Feb 1 with CCT scoring a flukey goal late in the third to tie it with Giguere assisting on both goals. I do not know if Pejzlova and Friesen will be available this weekend but if they are not, this is the one ECAC series to me that says there could be an upset.

I can say with certainty that UW doesn't win another game this month.

Very rough numbers ...
Based on season results, the Badgers have a 81.25% chance of winning versus the team that emerges from UMD/BSU. Then they get some unknown NCAA quarterfinal opponent, and after losing the WCHA semi, the Badgers would likely still be better than a 60% favorite over that team. So if we say UW loses the WCHA semi 18.75% of the time, and the NCAA quarter 40% of the time, then the Badgers go w/o another win 7.5% of the time. That was taking very pessimistic numbers from a Wisconsin perspective. I like your chances to win again, even if your level of play doesn't improve, which it likely will. But go ahead -- have another can of thinner. ;)
 
Re: 2020 Patty Kazmaier

FYI in case you were wondering, based on KRACH, the odds for the WCHA tournament are:

Wisconsin 46.00%
Minnesota 32.27%
Ohio State 15.11%
Minnesota Duluth 6.13%
Bemidji State 0.42%
Minnesota State 0.07%
St. Cloud State 0.00% (lol)
Bye 0.00%
 
Re: 2020 Patty Kazmaier

And for the ECAC:

Cornell 68.56%
Princeton 17.35%
Clarkson 9.82%
Harvard 2.18%
Yale 0.84%
Colgate 0.73%
Quinnipiac 0.49%
St. Lawrence 0.03%
 
Re: 2020 Patty Kazmaier

WHEA:

Northeastern 59.80%
Boston University 27.33%
Providence 4.93%
Boston College 4.43%
Connecticut 1.33%
New Hampshire 1.63%
Maine 0.43%
Vermont 0.11%

Note this doesn't take into account the fact that UNH beat PC yesterday or that NU beat UVM.

Can't really do CHA until you know what the bracket looks like.

How many "body of work" voters/winners do you suppose there have ever been? My guess is it remains an MVP, whatever reasoning people use to get there.

When I said body of work I mostly meant hockey, meaning an underclassmen would have to work hard to overcome an upperclassmen . Given how rarely underclassmen win I think there might be lots of voters like that. But then by the end of it all I agree it ends up pretty close to an MVP award, no matter how voters got there.

St Cloud up 2-1 on the Gophers, end of first period.

It's my fault. At the opening faceoff, I said, "Let's score early and often," forgetting the team specific nature of my request.

It was that kind of night. During the second period, I stated, "The Gophers need to start hitting the net. Seconds later, Zumwinkle pounded one off the crossbar. Fortunately, I amended that to, "They need to start hitting the inside of the net," an instant before Woken did just that.

I think "early and often" to myself pretty much every game, sometimes every period. Amazing, isn't it, how little correlation there is between what we hope and root for, and what actually occurs. Baffling to me!

I was more specific today.
 
Re: 2020 Patty Kazmaier

Not sure how many posters realize that 3 of the Top 10 Patty Kazmaier finalists all played on the same team back in 2015-16. Jamie Bourbonnais, Sarah Fillier, and Emma Maltais all played for the Oakville Hornets of the PWHL. That team was loaded with talent - 13 went on to play NCAA D1 hockey, including 4 at Princeton and 2 at Cornell. I saw them play against UNH in an exhibition to open the '15-'16 season with Nikki Cece between the pipes to start the game.
