Hockey East: 2019/20 season is Joe Bertagna's last as commish

Re: Hockey East: 2019/20 season is Joe Bertagna's last as commish

Congratulations to Boston College on the regular season title and #1 seed.
UConn and Lowell both clinch playoff spots.
Vermont will not go winless in conference to end Kevin Sneddon's career.

Update should be available within the hour.

Team Points Maximum Wins Range
BC 30 36 15 1
UC 26 30 12 2-7
UMA 26 30 12 2-7
UML 25 29 10 2-8
ME 25 29 11 2-9
BU 23 29 9 2-9
NU 21 27 10 3-9
PC 21 25 9 4-9
UNH 20 26 9 3-9

BC has locked up the title and #1 seed.
UConn has moved into second and clinched a playoff spot.
UMass falls to third.
Lowell clinches a playoff berth and moves into home ice position.
Maine was moments away from maintaining third in the conference but falls all the way to fifth. The Black Bears still have not clinched a playoff berth.
Boston University is still in sixth waiting for the big BC game Saturday night.
Northeastern remains in seventh despite the upset at Vermont.
Providence remains in eighth. The Friars would have fallen out had UNH held on for the win.
New Hampshire remains in ninth, but can still finish as high as third.

Maine beat the #6 KRACH team in the country twice on their home ice. They also tied a pair against two of the bottom 10 and lost to #40.

Yes I know. And it hurts. Let’s hope the real blackbears show up tomorrow. You would think after getting a 7-0 drubbing they could show some spunk. If not, then this team has no heart.

Correction. I actually found a way to get Lowell out. A six-way tie for 4th at 25 points.

The ties would go:

4 NU
5 PC
6 ME
7 BU
8 UNH
9 Lowell

So it is incredibly unlikely, but Lowell is still mathematically at risk.

I think we all want to see that happen, if only to see the headline in the Lowell paper the next day...

Sorry, but I missed why you are obsessed with the Lowell Sun's headlines; could you please post why?

A few years ago the sports editor wrote a screed when Lowell missed the NCAA tournament. He even admitted in the opening lines that he didn't know how the field was determined (even though it is 100% transparent). And this wasn't some college student disappointed the team missed out, it was the editor. It would have been great for the annual "My team got screwed" thread but was way out of line for a newspaper.

So fake news is really a thing? Who knew?
 
Re: Hockey East: 2019/20 season is Joe Bertagna's last as commish

Aha I remember that article. Almost as bad as Schlossman’s obsession with BC staying East and losing ‘all the time they go West’ in the “new format” which excludes when BC went West in the old format and took down the #1 seed (both western teams in fact) on the way to the FF in both 1999 and 2000. Not a very bright fellow.

Given BC is looking like a strong possibility for Worcester we should expect similar whining in a few weeks out of Grand Forks.
