PC Hockey - Construction Continues

It's a #2 seed vs a #3 seed, and #7 vs #9 in the pairwise - describing a potential UNH loss in this game as a "choke" may be overstating it. Have a good offseason.

As much as I would have loved to see you guys there, when you end up 22t in the PWR and you're not going, that's not a snub. Being in a 4-way tie for 12th and two get in and you're one of two that don't, that might be a snub.

If there's one thing I've learned about TV announcers and college hockey, it's that they'd keep snopes.com **** busy pushing the 'False' button....

Donaldson sticks his 2 cents in.....

http://blogs.providencejournal.com/...et-in-the-ncaa-hockey-tournament-over-pc.html

and truly he doesn't understand the whole system as it was not as simple as "god they took Niagara over Providence". Funny also in the end in the pairwise Brown edges out Providence and he never mentioned them in his argument.

How Brown edges PC I am not sure since I thought there were 4 compenents to the PWR, Head to Head (7-0 PC), RPI and TUC record, PC edges Brown in both, only area PC loses to Brown is common opponents (QPac and Minn St Brown was 1-1-2 and PC 0-3)

I think the problem around here is people look at it in the same terms as basketball which has criteria but is flexible. They give credit to strong finishes, they look at extenuating circumstances, strength of schedule plays a major role (which would kill Niagara and if this was the NU bball team and they lost their conference playoffs no matter their record it would be hello NIT)

We pretty much were done by Xmas unless we could put a finishing burst better than our '03 team did.

Heading down to the Dunk Saturday...any suggestions on where to watch the West regional final somewhere around the arena?

Donaldson's not the only one -- the ESPN crew the other night, even Jack Edwards, felt PC got screwed, though mainly in the context that UNH got in ahead of them. I'm not going to argue PC deserved it based on their record and I totally agree really their NCAA hopes were done by mid-season barring a late-season push (if only half of those ties had been wins, it would've looked better -- get to 20 wins, finish top 4 in the HE standings, and usually you're good). Still, I wish the NCAA hockey committee did something other than completely rely on black-and-white computer numbers. The field shouldn't be something so obvious that the USCHO site can predict it year in and year out IMO.

When you win 1 game in 6 tries (!) against an opponent as UNH did against PC -- and also finish below them in the standings on top of it -- that's the kind of thing that ought to be weighted just a bit more than every other statistical ranking the computer spits out. (Of course, UNH will also sell some tickets Friday night, which is a genuine consideration in their favor...)

The Abbey has a few TVs they keep on sports but I bet it'd depend on what else was on.
 
Re: PC Hockey - Construction Continues

I haven't seen pictures of the Schneider renovation. Does anyone have a link, or at least a description of what's going on?

Cool stuff on the renovations. Glad to see you guys taking this step.
 
Re: PC Hockey - Construction Continues

I'm enjoying watching all of the NCAA games this weekend but really hoping to see the Friars in the tournament next year.
 
Re: PC Hockey - Construction Continues

After watching most of the games so far, I really believe we could give them all a run for the roses.....I am ready for Philly
 
Re: PC Hockey - Construction Continues

Today's print and subscription versions of the Projo have an op-ed piece written by Rhode Island hockey legend Dick Ernst. Dick played for PC from 1958 to 1961 and has gone on to more than 50 years of prominence in the Rhode Island hockey scene. It is a nice trip down memory lane.
 
Re: PC Hockey - Construction Continues

It has been a long time since the end of that legendary thread "PC hosts Quinnipiac." Back then I thought the Friars would have been to a Frozen Four by now.
