Quinnipiac, Harvard and BC have not played a single game against an opponent with a winning record. Not one.

I'm sure BC looks at it as not one of their opponents has a winning record because they beat them.

True of St. Lawrence, who would be 4-3 without playing BC. Syracuse would be 2-2-5. New Hampshire would be 2-7-1. Providence would be 0-7-1. Cornell would be 0-2. So, that's an aggregate 8-21-7 in non-BC games.

Quinnipiac: Connecticut (2-4-4); Penn State (3-3-2); Maine (4-3-2); New Hampshire (2-7-1); Colgate (2-4); Cornell (0-3); Aggregate of 13-24-9

Harvard: Aggregate 2-12-3

I just assumed the sheer thought of knowing they would have to play BC at some point this season has made it impossible for them to win many games. I mean just look at BC's schedule, not many of their opponents have winning records.

The "Eastern Bias" that is well known in mens hockey has now filtered into the womens game. ;)

It's the Keller factor. However, Easterners do love their cupcakes

Has anyone checked to see if there is a proximity effect? Are teams that don't have to worry about playing BC until January doing better than those that play them in November?

You're onto something. Even the thought of having three players heading off to be teammates with five BC players was enough to derail Minnesota's weekend.

You are definitely on to (on) something with this. How long will the effect linger on a team? Thinking of Cornell in particular, who have yet to win a game.

Actually, you can go into Windows settings and get all sorts of different keyboard arrangements, including an arrangement for virtually any language in the Windows purchasing world. Complete instructions available here. If you know the language of the player, you can switch to her language keyboard. Her language keyboard will include keys for all of the diacriticals used in her language. And there you most probably go.

Thanks! Wish I'd known that in '11 when I was in Turkey during the Worldwide Blackberry Blackout; had to use Turkish language keyboards which feature two letters "i": one with a dot (like ours) and one without a dot (solely theirs). Their letter "i" without a dot was where our letter "i" is on our keyboards and our letter "i" was down with the forward slash and question mark and of course I'd always forget that and make some addresses and passwords bounce back.

The Midwestern Elitist in me looks at these numbers and says hmmm....

Record of opponents:

Minnesota - 33-21-8
WisconSIN - 29-22-7
bc - 8-28-8

More hmmm.... Minnesota has played one opponent with more wins (9) than the combined win total for all of bc's opponents.

Whoopie pies...Cupcakes...whatever the hell you want to call them, bc has devoured them. :D
