Re: Bracketology

If UAF sweeps Western its RPI would increase to .5398. Winning 2 out of 3, the Nanooks RPI would drop slightly.

The last time UAF played at Northern it had a loss and a tie and its RPI fell from .5193 to .5116.

Re: Bracketology

I think the PWR predictor comes out before the conference semis. If you know how to use the script, you can use the what-if calculator at slack.net

PWR predictor due out on USCHO on March 14.

Re: Bracketology

NMU needs Alaska to beat Western! We need to play someone that is actually going to help our chances of making the NCAA's!

Re: Bracketology

Kepler, you probably said the same thing last year about Yale. The rest of the country is in show me mode when it comes to the ECAC.

Understood. Though I think this Yale team is the best offense the conference has produced in at least a decade. If they had a goalie, they'd be crazy good.

so what your saying is if they had a goalie they would be able to fight for 5th in the WCHA

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully BSU can keep the #1 seed, But as long as they are placed in Saint Paul I am a happy man..... Nothing better then seeing SCSU lose thier typical first game and Seeing BSU head back to the Frozen Four.....

Why are you putting BC in Albany and Denver in Worcester? I would definitely swap those regions if BC is a #1 seed.

Because UNH will be there. It's a haul to Albany from UNH, and Albany would have BC *and* Cornell.

I think if you have BC and Cornell in the same region, attendance will be similar whether it's in Worcester or Albany. BC would be a huge draw an Worcester and a great draw in Albany, and Cornell would be a great draw in Worcester and a huge draw in Albany. So no real difference there.

UNH being in Worcester, however, is a much better draw than Albany for attendance.

Not that I like being shipped to Albany, but it definitely makes more sense this way.

Meh, then Cornell better lose because I don't really want to be driving to Albany unless I really have to.

Yeah, I would be upset if we were in Albany.

Nobody wants to go to Albany. Ever. For any reason. Just be glad you've never had to play a 3-game playoff series there - most boringest 3 days of my life...

3 hours and a few minutes is a haul??

Re: Bracketology

We live out east where everything is at most a 30 minute drive from where we live. Freaking yes, that's a haul!

3 hours and 45 minutes is a haul. Especially compared with an hour and a half hop, skip, and a jump to Worcester.

Sorry....That's not a haul....Wisconsin will have to bus four hours to St. Paul! How can they survive?!!?

Would you have to spend the night on a 3 and a half hour trip? I've done longer without even getting out of the car, through an ice storm.

I'm about 30 minutes or much less away from anywhere I would really need to be too.

Re: Bracketology

Bemidji better win the autobid. If someone else wins it, half the conference qualifies for the NCAA tournament and the field of at-large berths shrinks by one.
