If I read the standings and tiebreaker right, in order to get a home series in the first round, Bentley needs to beat AIC on Saturday, Holy Cross needs to beat AIC Thursday, and Canisius needs to sweep Niagara next weekend. That's a lot help.
Editorial note: If I were king for a day, only the top eight teams would make the playoffs. This makes the regular season finale for the bottom teams that much more important, and opens up one more weekend for either OOC or conference games.
Usually I would agree on only the top eight teams playing in the post-season, but not this season, as home ice in the first round is the only way that I will get to see a game in the arena before next fall. Good effort to hold on for the win in the second game against Army to keep that possibility alive.
