Re: NCHA Peters Cup Playoffs

I still maintain SNC has the weakest opponent this weekend and will have no trouble advancing to the semifinals. And, with what Eau Claire did at Superior two years ago, I wouldn't be surprised to see them slip past UWRF, but don't count on it. I pick Stevens Point over Stout, but that could go either way. And I pick CSS over UWS.

So then, for the semifinals, we have Stevens Point @ SNC, and UWRF @ CSS. SNC is the easy pick. River Falls really could take the Saints, but with a season series as volatile as theirs (5-0, 5-5, 0-6), who knows? I lean towards St. Scholastica, although both are young teams and are quite capable of losing.

That leaves us with CSS @ SNC in a rematch of the 06-07 final. No Kyle Jones should make this a great game, winnable by either team. Both Kleiman and O'Brien are hot right now, and CSS has seen some success at the CCC as of late. The Saints 8 or so seniors are a year removed from a disappointing NCAA game last year, so when it's all said and done, who knows?

I'd go with SNC. And knowing the NCHA, CSS@SNC round 4 won't even happen.

So, do all rounds have the 2 game/mini game format or is it just the 1st?
 
Re: NCHA Peters Cup Playoffs

In the opening round I see CSS beating Superior, even though Superior is playing better CSS will move on.

In the EC vs RF series I think that Eau Claire will make it a very interesting series, but it will all depend on which River Falls team shows up to the rink, but in the end I see River Falls winning but in the mini-game

In the Stout vs Point series I see it coming down to goaltending and special teams for both teams. If Lescovich or Hopper play well Stout will advance easily. But I do see this being a very tight series with Stout pulling out the win in the series.

In the 2nd Round we have:

SNC vs Stout and CSS vs RF

As much as I'd like to see Stout pull the upset SNC is a very powerful team and should advance to the NCHA Finals unless something drastic happens.

In the CSS/RF series I see CSS pulling out the win because of the goaltending of CSS.

In the Final:
CSS @ SNC

This game will be a very interesting matchup in being a rematch of a few years ago, but SNC has been so dominant this year and I see them taking the Peter's Cup this year.

Much to my dismay of course.

Awfully confident in a team that in the last 5 games (all losses) has scored 4 goals and given up 22 goals. One of those teams is the team that Stout will be playing in the first round, who by the way they lost to 4-0 this past week.

It's playoffs, not the second half anymore. Maybe second season. Thanks though.

I think CSS will handle Superior. The only way Superior wins is if they get up on them early... but even then it'll be difficult.

The EC/RF series should be interesting. Eau Claire has been playing well and River Falls will definitely have their hands full. I don't know which way it'll go?

The Point/Stout series will come down to goaltending in my opinion, that and Point keeping Stouts' top line off the board. By no means will anyone advance easily in this one.

I do know we lost for the last few weeks, and that we lost at Point, but I see us doing better at home where we beat point both times this season.

1st Round Playoff Matchups
#1 St. Norbert - Bye -- Going out on a limb and saying SNC advances this weekend
#7 UW-Superior at #2 St. Scholastica - Scholastica but not in a blow out, port battle at its finest
#6 UW-Eau Claire at #3 UW-River Falls - Depends who shows up for both teams, I give it to UW-River Falls in mini-game
#5 UW-Stevens Point at #4 UW-Stout - Too close to call. UW-Stout out shot UW-Stevens Point this past weekend 36-21 with a great game by Nick Graves (UWSP). Should be a good battle as this seeding match-up usually is.

CSS to get back on track, after their surprising loss to EC last weekend, taking both games from the Jackets.
EC will keep it close, but River moves on in two very close contests.
Point @ Stout -- Very interesting matchup...both teams have to be disappointed in their regular season results...Agree with Andy, that goal tending will make the difference in this series.
Should be a very physical series..penalty boxes may not be big enough. This series could go to the mini-game...
 
Re: NCHA Peters Cup Playoffs

superior will get beat by scholastica. scholastica is just a better team, they have three solid lines, and a solid goalie. i see no way in which superior can beat that team.

stauber will bring in some good talent in the offseason, and superior will be better next year.
 
Re: NCHA Peters Cup Playoffs

Hey, I figured it's about that time, and I don't want to start a new thread. What do you all think about All-NCHA and NCHA POTY?

I come up with CSS forward Jordan Chong as POTY, and BJ O'Brien and Zach Kleiman picking up first and second team goalies.
 
Re: NCHA Peters Cup Playoffs

Ncha poy possibilitys css chong or calleja uwrf. Chong has 5 game winners which is impressive. calleja has had 2 goals in final 45 seconds to tie css, 1 shorthanded game winner at eau claire with 30 seconds left, all 3 of uwrf points in last 10 minutes to come from a 2-0 deficit 1 assist and 2 goals including game winner at stout and many game winning assists late.

I'd agree with that.

Here is my starting line-up for my NCHA All-Star game.

Forwards
Jordan Chong - CSS
Josh Calleja - UWRF
Tyler Allen - SNC

Defense
Garrett Suter - UWSP
Adam Hammerbeck - SNC

Goalie
BJ O'Brien - SNC
Zach Kleiman - CSS - 2nd string
