ECAC Pick the Playoffs 2013

Re: ECAC Pick the Playoffs 2013

Since Flanagan is playing (and I have to assume, this being the playoffs and all, that he will be playing), I'm going to make a change:

#12 Harvard @ # 5 Dartmouth: Oh, heck, how about Dartmouth 2-1
#11 Colgate @ #6 SLU: Flanagan's back. SLU 2-1
#10 Clarkson @ #7 Brown: You don't bet against Brown in the playoffs. Brown 2-1
#9 Cornell @ #8 Princeton: The return of Kepler's First Law of ECAC Hockey. Cornell 2-1

If you meant picking #9 over #8, I believe that many people are banking on Kepler's First Law. (Or is it second? I can never remember which order CU and CCT are, but RPI is always #3)

I am pretty sure that Kepler, being a Cornell fan, made the Cornell statement #1, but with my **** up of which match-up was 7-10 and which was 8-9, I better not state that I am certain.
 
Re: ECAC Pick the Playoffs 2013

There is someone in our office who, when it comes to pools, doesn't necessarily pick who he thinks will win. Instead he looks at others' choices and picks the outcome that will most differentiate him from everyone else should he prove to be correct. Of course he also has some incredibly intricate risk-reward matrix to guide him which wouldn't apply to a "pride only" pool outcome.....;)

Of course that is within reasonable limits....no one would pick a # 1 seed to pick a # 16 seed in the men's NCAA Division I basketball tournament, for example.

(Trivia: there was one occasion in which the # 16 seed beat a # 1 seed in women's NCAA Division I basketball tournament....)

I remember that happening. I also remember, around the same time, Coppin State was one play away from becoming the first #15 seed to make the field of 16.

Flanagan cleared to play, fwiw, per Wally Johnson (SLU SID), via Ken Schott's twitter account.

Glad to see him back-hopefully we won't have to face him, so I am not rooting for SLU, but glad that he is well enough to play. I am guessing all went smoothly with the surgery and there were no complications. Just posting as a concerned Doc.

FF: There is a scene in one of my all time favorite movies (Let It Ride) where Richard Dreyfus as Trotter polls all the people at the track to see what horse he should bet on. He keeps scratching off every horse that everyone picks until he is left with only one which of course he bets and wins big as he let's it all ride. BTW-for those who never saw it, watch it so you can laugh your behind off. One of the funniest movies ever made.

The earliest we could possibly face them is in Atlantic City.

As long as we get to AC I would not mind as much. But i just see that team being so much tougher with him on the power play and so often one special team goal can be the difference. No one will be easy for us from here on but would love any edge we can get.
