Exactly. With at-large out of reach (unless maybe we finish 21-14-5) it's nice to see us playing well. The HEA playoffs will be fun, I doubt many teams will want to play us.

I don't think Maine is looking forward to playing NU in the finish to the regular season.

We've lost once in the last 2 months and here we are talking about Chris Rawlings. Yes, he was a nightmare, and the reason most of us have high blood pressure, let's move on.

Dumber play on Saturday night: Kurker boarding a UMASS player with 0.2 seconds left on the 2nd period clock up a goal or Micheletto losing his mind on Voss after the period, taking an unsportsmanlike penalty and negating his team's PP down a goal going into the 3rd?

A side note- did Millea make a call all game? As usual Cameron "Joey Crawford" Voss tried to make the game all about him. What a trainwreck he is.

Maybe Cam was trying to make up for the historically atrocious call he made against NU in OT of the 2015 Beanpot finals?

If anyone wants to feel bad, play around with the pairwise editor on college hockey news. If we had held on vs. UML in N. Ireland and got the win, we'd be 18th right now in the PWR instead of 26th. Every game is important.

You want to feel even worse?! If you change the Bently outcome from being swept to sweeping. NU is #15. In the NCAA

Add all that and change the BC tie to a win (they tied it with ~1 min left) and we are up to 13. Yup. The program of "what-ifs"

Thanks guys. If the team isn't messing up is there some reason that we have to make each other miserable?

OK. My turn. If we finished the season at #15, we probably wouldn't make the playoffs. One team might win the Atlantic regular season while another might win their playoffs - possibly allowing two undeserving teams to make the final sixteen. That there is one flawed rule!:(

<My point is not that they lost to BC or UML, they can do that. Bentley?? They cannot lose to Bentley once let alone twice.

Are you a few years behind? Regular season champions have not received automatic bids in quite a while. Each league gets one auto-bid, which universally goes to the league's tournament champion (the league's choice, not the NCAA's). If the AHA regular season champion does not win their tournament, they only way they make the field is by earning it.
 
Re: Northeastern 2015-16: Hobey Roy Kenobi and the Freshman Force

I asked a current Hockey East player who they were looking forward to facing in the playoffs. He said "Anyone but Northeastern.' They are making some noise! #GoNU

Witt was a pleasant surprise,for quite a stretch it was very hard to get anything by him.It was nice post-Rawlings to have confidence in Witt,I really miss him.

My buddy was an assistant goaltending coach at a place he trained at for his entire career at NU. Always said Witt was above and beyond Rawlings. Shame it took so long for him to start.

I am delighted to be mistaken. I work in a field where it pays to look ahead. I must have confused business and pleasure (at least lately).:D
 
Re: Northeastern 2015-16: Hobey Roy Kenobi and the Freshman Force

15 wouldn't get in regardless, the WCHA doesn't have a team in the top 16 either. Not to mention Minnesota technically leads the B1G and is also outside (though Michigan is in)

NCAA talk? Hah. Lets just focus on winning the first round of the Hockey East tournament.
