Bottom Feeders Bracket: Let the Tournament Begin

Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket: Let the Tournament Begin

i was talking with a ham on 15m this morning who somehow happened to hear the northeastern/clarkson game, and we had another upset. In a close match-up, northeastern was able to defeat clarkson by a score of 2 to 0.

yes!

While not as upsetting as the Vermont result, (5 GOALS!?!?!?!) this once again proves that Hockey East did not send its worst team to the tournament.

Is the BFB over yet? If the communication was any worse, I'd guess ESPN was involved :p

They are coached by a dark-skinned white man with a backwards baseball cap. Or a football helmet. Or a ski cap.

Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket: Let the Tournament Begin

Would like to apply for a position as a referee for next year's BFB.

1. I have been on skates 2 or 3 times. Can stop forward progress by running into the boards (the BFB rinks do have boards, right?) and falling into a mid-lake snowdrift. As a forward thinker, I do not skate backwards.

2.Knowledge--I have some knowledge of the rules, but rest assured I will not be stymied by blind devotion to them.

3. Objectivity---hmmmmm--possibly, probably not.

4. Consistency--are you kidding???

5. Creativity-- For instance--
Coach criticizing call will get a "timeout" and sit in the penalty box until he promises to behave.
"Diving" will require offender to sit in dunk tank between periods while fans pay to shoot at target.

Too long...


1. Integrity

A) Is essential to any good referee B) ??? C) "Once you give up integrity, the rest is a piece of cake"

If you answered B or C, congratulations, you're qualified to officiate any NCAA hockey game regardless of prestige.

Hey now, the committee demanded electronic means, but the tournament preservers wanted to make sure this event had as little exposure as possible. It's a good compromise.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket: Let the Tournament Begin

you'd think by now someone's cousins best friends sisters boyfriend would have heard a rumor from some dude who happened to stumble into the game.

No one on 40 knows. I'll try 20 over the weekend...
 
Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket: Let the Tournament Begin

You guys forgot one very important team in this bracket. A team that had 20 losing seasons from 1980-2000. A team that has not won an ECAC title or played in the NCAA national tournament since 1980. A team that beat and tied Yale this season, beat UNH when UNH was ranked #2 in the nation, a team that was ranked as high as #8 in mid-season, a team that can beat all these top ranked opponents and still lose more games late in the season so they dont make it to the national tournament. They even beat and tied Union until they lost two in a row to them in the ECAC tournament, a team that has gone from awful to the kings of mediocre, yes friends you forgot the Dartmouth Big Green. Yes they even lost to Quinnipiac before the Bobcats were in the ECAC and lost to them at home. Need I say more?

I saw the Big Green embarrass UNH at Thompson Arena over the holidays; the Big Green was awesome. No way do they get an invite to the Bottom Feeders Tourney, no matter how many regular season losses.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket: Let the Tournament Begin

Should I assume a soulless abomination swallowed the tournament sites whole?
