Official 2010-2011 Miami season Thread: 3rd times a charm???

Re: Official 2010-2011 Miami season Thread: 3rd times a charm???

Not that it matters, but it looks like Ohio State may have been robbed of a point in their shootout with LSSU last night. Perhaps it's just the camera angle, but it certainly looks to me like the LSSU shooter that scored at the end came to a complete stop before tapping the puck into the net. Of course the shootout would have continued and who knows if the outcome would have ultimately been different, but that's obviously not the point. Regardless, I hope there's no chance for it to become an issue next weekend.

It's at the end of the highlights here. Shegos officiating.

Not sure your angle here, Shegoes is the best official in the CCHA if not the country. With that said in a shoot out or penalty shot for that matter it isn't what the player does it is all about the puck. The puck has to continue in a forward progression, which it did. That shootout goal was a goal and was a heckuva move at that. He did stop but the puck kept moving forward and that is all that maters, which is why if a spin-o-rama is performed it is still legal because the progression is going forward. Hope that helps clarify.

I was told there would be no math. In fact, Redeagle promised.

'95, RHM has done a nice job of telling us for whom to root without the math, so the commissioner says ok to the RHM updates. Now, I'm assuming he is correct.... :)

I don't pay too much attention until playoffs start, but this year, it's hard not to scoreboard watch.

hahaha well you should never assume. I have tried my best to understand and educate myself on the PWR and feel I have a good grasp on it but nothing is ever given. It is very very confusing at times, but saturday night didn't go in Miami's favor. Teams we needed to lose won and in turn caused us to drop a couple spots. However our RPI went up because NMU joined the ranks of a TUC. One thing that affected us is that Ohio st. became a TUC again which really affects us against Michigan and Notre Dame because of common opponents ect. Needless to say, Miami is still in a very good spot provided they pick up two wins against Lake st. Other teams are battling each other and knocking themselves around. But this weekend is a MUST sweep. Miami still has a solid chance at a #2 seed if they can get to the Joe. They win the conf. tourny they are a lock for a #2 seed mainly because they will jump ND and Mich and teams in front of them will knock each other down so it is in their hands which is a far better position than 3 years ago when it was out of their hands.

Here is a little help, without any math involved!

Teams to root for this weekend:

NMU, Western, Ferris, St. Lawrence, Quinnipiac, Maine, Northeastern, St. Cloud, Denver, Colorado College.

St. cloud's series has double advantage because of our record against them and who they are playing. I know it seems like a lot but that is the thing of the PWR there are a lot of teams that directly affect you as well as what you are doing. A win and 7 of those teams winning could move Miami up 3 to 4 spots.
 
Re: Official 2010-2011 Miami season Thread: 3rd times a charm???

Not really digging this week's brackets....Miami Denver Wisconsin and Merrimack - would be the region of death.

Has anyone actually seen Merrimack play? I know the media loves them, but I know nothing about the team or school.:confused:

Also, i find it amusing that INCH.com has Miami #6 this week - 4 spots ahead of both Michigan and ND. in fact, they rank the top 3 teams in the CCHA in reverse order....really?! are you THAT out of touch?! I can see us being ahead (slightly) UM, but ND played really well @ Miami and has had a better season. just makes me chuckle.

I would LOVE that bracket. Merrimack as the #1 seed in your regional and a DU team that is struggling in the first round...a team that we own? This would be a great bracket.
 
Re: Official 2010-2011 Miami season Thread: 3rd times a charm???

I saw that. And my first thought was........ AWESOME! The only thing I didn't like was that it seemed cheaply made and hurried for $15. If they have some in stock the day of I may be drunk enough to buy one though.

But for now, it is....

Well, although we split with ND on the season, we do hold the advantage in goals for/against on them and # of 3rd period leads lost ;)

Big weekend here, even though we can't get our regular season banner back, some losses by Michigan (to keep NMU a TUC) and ND (to give us that comparison) would be huge. The ND/OSU series is kinda a catch 22. But I think its more likely that OSU stays up then drops off from the TUC mark.

Looks like the Goggin is selling shinny new authentic jerseys for $230 a pop. Can't seem to find a happy medium here, wish Bauer would just make replicas for the standard $80. That being said I will probably still end up buying one :rolleyes:

About time. Wonder if they're available online??
 
Re: Official 2010-2011 Miami season Thread: 3rd times a charm???

I def need a Red Saturday jersey to go with my (not red) Friday jersey. $230 seems a little steep though.

Merrimack is very solid. The plus for Miami, and where they have the biggest advantage, is they are a veteran team that has been to two straight frozen fours. Merrimack hasn't been to the tournament in many years so it is a new experience for all of those players. the moment may be to big for them. Merrimack can score in bunches too, I saw them play on tv against UNH and they out played them, would be a great matchup.

As for INCH.com's rankings, they are the most realistic rankings out there. They take into account how you are currently playing along with your record and results. Miami is a better team than both Michigan and Notre Dame. Both may be ahead of them in the standings but I chalk that up to, and I would assume they do too, Miami hitting a slump in the middle of the year. But outside of them being ECAC homers they do the best job ranking teams appropriately.

Not sure how the ND/OSU series is a catch 22, its pretty straight forward. GO ND! Osu can very easily drop out as a TUC with a split, but Miami is far better off having OSU out as a TUC than in. If Miami sweeps lake, it doesn't matter what ND does because Miami will be fine. Having OSU in as a TUC hurts Miami against ND and Mich because of their records against them. You never want a team who has beaten you twice to hang around as a TUC. Ideally you want NMU to stay in, OSU to drop out, and Miami sweep. If that all happens and half the other teams I listed below win Miami makes some big leaps in the PWR.

LOL yea I just noticed that too and came on to retrack some. Your assumption is correct, OSU right now is the last team as a TUC after their tie last night. Ferris being in doesn't help us either but OSU is closer to being out so you got it right go Ferris and Western!
