Hosting an anxiety free regional ain't bad. I'd prefer the anxiety though. Go BU!
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

I have to stop reading this and the region thread. I'm getting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too anxious.

i can't wait to get up there! This is what we wait all year for...getting tough to concentrate at work now...

Unfortunately it is looking like I will only be there in spirit... stupid 2:00 PM game time and all. Oh well. Hoping they make it through the regional and that my Terrier Pride Points are high enough for me to have a Frozen Four ticket bestowed upon me.
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

So I did a cursory rundown in the Northeast Regional thread of how many seeds move on to the Frozen Four. Basically, I think it's been pretty fair. By percentage, most of the teams that have gone to the F4 have been 1 seeds, followed by 2, and so on. No 4 seed before 2008 made it out of regionals.

I started with the first 16-team tournament

2014: 3 #1 seeds, 1 #4. WINNER #3 overall
2013: 2 #1 seeds, 2 #4. WINNER #15 overall (I think, Yale was #4 in the #2 seed bracket)
2012: 2 #1 seeds, 2 #2. WINNER #1 overall
2011: 1 #1 seed, 1 #2 seed, 2 #3 seeds. WINNER #3 in 1's bracket
2010: 3 #1 seed, 1 #4 seed. WINNER: #1 seed, 4th overall over all
2009: 1 #1 seed, 1 #3 seed, 2 #4 seed. WINNER: BU (pretty sure #1 overall)
2008: 2 #1 seeds, 1 #2 seed, 1 #4 seed. Winner #2 seed BC
2007: 0 #1 seed, 2 #2 seeds, 3 #3 seeds. Winner #3 MSU
2006: 1 #1 seed, 1 #2 seed, 2 #3 seeds. Winner #1 overall Wisconsin
2005: 3 #1 seeds, 1 #2 seed
2004: 2 #1 seeds, 2 #2 seeds. Winner was a 2 seed
2003: 3 #1 seeds, 1 #3 seed. Winner was 4th overall seed


So, only once has no No. 1 seed not advanced. Overall, 23 No. 1 seeds went to the Frozen Four (so about 48% of No. 1 seeds moved on).
10 No. 2 seeds moved on to the Frozen Four (21%)
9 No. 3 seeds moved on to the F4. (19%)
7 No. 4 seeds moved on to the F4, but all happened since 2008 (15%).

Note rounding errors.

So you're telling me teams win more when they score more goals? :eek:
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

well... truth be told at the end of the day bu has a better chance at winning with "4" then with "5" :D

The one loss for a "5" was against Northeastern, right after the Beanpot. So BU wasn't at their best in that game. Plus, I don't think BU is losing 6-5 to Yale.
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

My fear here is that inexperience/nerves cause BU to have a bad start and give up 2 goals in the first. Do they lose their composure if they go down by a goal and exacerbate the situation. With a goalie as good as Yale's can BU come back from a 2 goal deficit?

While this is a reasonable fear, I have to think that having OC backstopping them makes it unlikely. Beyond the team goals, he has a large personal stake in his performance in the tournament. Obviously, teams aren't going to avoid him if he (hockey gods forbid) he has a bad game, but a really good run could add a few $$$ to his contract. My expectation is that he plays as well as anyone in the tournament.
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

OC had a very good HE tournament. He was locked in and solid and none of the three goals against the Chiefs were his fault.
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

OC's good at making the stops, and less good at controlling the rebounds. He gets hurt when his D isn't blocking forwards from the puck or sweeping them away.
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

Your last visit to Manch I screamed "Hit him PT, he's soft!" whenever Paul Thompson was within 30 feet of Jason Lawrence. Other than missing the opportunity to do that, I am really looking forward to today. Good luck you guys. Go BU!
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

At least Mookie didn't have to pay twice for his ticket :p

Peeeeeeee-youuuuuu
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

In their strongest period, BU just needs to score once for a new game.
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

That's provided they keep Yale off the scoreboard.
 
Re: BU 2014-15 season threat III - Jasmine gets to see us 4 more times

A classic "We've got 'em right where we want 'em" situation.
