Awesome sweep!! Hard to believe it's the first time in 35 years since we swept Tech.

North Dakota passed Lakers last night with their win at Western.
Yeah, but I thought we were tied with Penn State? Maybe that was last week?
Either way, ND and Penn both lost Friday and stayed ahead so we probably can’t make up much ground. That home series with Alaska was a killer.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
Well Lakers got it done, Both teams played well over the weekend, got good goaltending, but the senior leadership of the Lakers was the key, made the plays when needed.
Good luck the rest of the way, next week will be very interesting. The battle with BG looks even based on one upper division team and one lower division team for both over the next two weeks.
Tech played much better than the GLI, but could not capitalize on it.

Playing around with the Pairwise future results, I think we're very much still in play but we definitely have to win out the regular season. We did what we needed to do by sweeping Tech. Now let's sweep the other UP school. I'm very impressed with the talent on this team.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
Looking back to Lakersparty post, the Lakers were tied with Notre Dame for 18th at the end of last week. Notre Dame moved ahead when they beat Michigan Tuesday. I think the Lakers have always been behind Penn State.
Penn State plays at Notre Dame in 2 weeks. I think we are cheering for Minnesota to sweep Notre Dame this upcoming weekend and then Notre Dame to sweep Penn State in 2 weeks.
As Lakersparty said, Lakers need to win out the regular season to have any chance at the at large. They would need to sweep Alaska in the first round as well.

Another non conference series instead of the 2 games vs Nip****ing, or game at USANDP would be very beneficial right now.
I do not think our non-conference games helped that much this year. The WCHA may end up sending one team to the nationals unless someone can upset MN. State.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
I ran a quick pairwise calculation and if every team wins who is ranked higher in each matchup, the Lakers would end up 16th in the Pairwise. Obviously, that won't necessarily happen and there could be a number of upsets ahead of us with some big games on tap for the final couple of weeks. That also doesn't count in playoffs.
Lakers basically have to win all their remaining games or its most likely conference tourney champs or no bid.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
So is it time for a more formal PR push for Diego Cuglietta for Hobey? I saw UMass launched a campaign with buttons for Cale Makar, and Diego has the same number of points (34) as Makar. Diego is 2nd in the nation in goals (20) to Johnny Walker (23) of Arizona State. Diego is also tied with Walker in points (34). There are others were more points, especially Taro Hirose of Michigan State who has put up an impressive 35 assists and 50 total points. I haven't paid much attention to goalie stats so not sure who is really in the running there.
To me the two most intriguing stories of the season are Diego leading a storied program like LSSU back and Walker leading an upstart program to the heights they've had. It's a tough choice and obviously I am biased, but I tend to want to reward seniors who have stuck around since they are student-athletes after all.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
Our non-conference seems fine. It's the Alaska series at home in November that is weighing the Lakers down. If we won the Saturday game instead of losing, we'd be at #14 in the Pairwise. If we swept Alaska that weekend instead of a tie and a loss, we'd be #12. Sucks that two very winnable games in a 3-3 tie and a 4-3 loss have had that much of an impact, but nothing we can do about it now. Just have to win!

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
You make a solid case. I'm afraid the Hobey might already be wrapped up by Makar - a high scoring and highly drafted defenseman (I know that shouldn't matter, but I do think some voters take pro potential into account) leading the resurgence of a lower tier Hockey East school to a top seed in the tournament. But Cuglietta deserves to be way up there, hopefully grabbing a top 3.

That is a return for last years trip to Denver. The trip they backed out of this year would have been an additional one. Denver was looking for 2 more non conference games when they agreed to play here this season, but backed out when they had the chance to host Alaska the same weekend.
