Which is about as easy to understand as my cell phone bill. Does that mean since we beat MSU once this year and UAH didn't, that we would win the tiebreaker?

Yes, if MSU wins the #1 seed (which happens in any situation other than Northern and Bemidji sweeping out), Fairbanks would win at B.

Past that: the teams tie at A (they didn't play four times), so B matters in a situation here, say, UAF has a standard win and a standard loss while UAH has an over-overtime win and an over-overtime loss — both three points, but the regulation win counts for more.

It's bonkers.

I would love to beat Northern, especially in the playoffs. But if we are talking about realistic chances to go to the second round the best option would be playing Bowling Green. We could win a game in Marquette or Mankato, but I don’t see us getting two wins. Historically we have a better chance at Bowling Green, but we have not played since the first week of conference play this year. The Boys have been close in losses the last couple weeks, hopefully we can take care of business this week and have momentum for the playoffs.

None of them are great options, but I keep thinking back to Michigan State in 2013 and UAA in 2014. We beat both those teams late in the regular season, then lost to them at home in round 1 a week or two later. That is kind of why I want another shot at NMU (although we were in the same situation with Tech a year or two ago and lost all four, so who knows).
 
Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

Let's go Seniors. Show the boys one last time how bad you want to beat the Seawolves.
We need a sweep to guarantee 6th place.
Get'r done.

Go Nooks!

If UAF loses and Lake State wins, Nanooks don't make the playoffs...according to the WCHA...go to the Lake State website and they say they are eliminated....

Cullen Maksimowski, LSSULakers.com

BIG RAPIDS, Mich.—The Lake Superior State Hockey team fell to Ferris State, 4-1, Friday evening in the first of two-game Western Collegiate Hockey Association series inside the Bulldogs' Ewigleben Ice Arena.

With the loss, the LSSU is mathematically eliminated from postseason contention and slip to 10-21-4 on the season with an 8-16-3 mark in league competition. FSU moves to 13-21-1, 10-16-1 and secured at least the eighth seed in the WCHA Tournament.
 
Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

WCHA 1-5 set in stone....

1.Minnesota State 2. Northern Michigan 3. Bowling Green 4. Bemidji State 5. Michigan Tech

Final playoff berth will be settled tonight...Alaska or Lake Superior State

6-9 still up for grabs for seeding


UAH 33 pts and FSU 31 pts have clinched a playoff spot.

Alaska is eighth with 30 and Lake State has 27...Lakers need three points meaning they have to beat Ferris in regulation or five-minute OT(and Lakers lost to Ferris at Ferris last night) and Alaska loses again to UAA. Lakers only way to get in playoffs. Lakers own tie--breaker "C" over Nanooks/one less conference loss.

Alaska clinches final position with one point tonight period.


Alaska can finish six thru ninth....

Sixth with win and loses by Ferris and UAH...Alaska owns tie breaker "E" over UAH with a win over first place Minnesota State and would win all tie breaker scenarios with Ferris too I believe....

And there could be a three way tie with 33 pts if Ferris beats Lakers in 3x 3 or shoot out. UAH loses and Alaska wins.
Not sure here...but might favor AK>>> u tell me......

Lake Superior State has since corrected their story from last night saying that were officially eliminated to saying that need to help to advance from this the last weekend of the regular season.....

Please correct me if I am wrong...........
 
Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

33 points with FSU and Alaska wins tie breaker. Alaska and Ferris/both with 31 or 32 points/Ferris wins tie breaker
And there could be a three way tie with 33 pts if Ferris beats Lakers in 3x 3 or shoot out. UAH loses and Alaska wins. Alaska wins that tie breaker
 
Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

Nothing is a gimmie. Not that this sweep really meant anything, except when it's the end of the season and we trudge up there you might be surprised with the result.
 
Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

I can only hope this serves as a wake-up call. If we play even half as awful as we looked this weekend, we are going to get hit by a freight train in Mankato.
