Plattsburgh State Hockey - 2009/2010

Well, it wouldn't add a pool C slot really. There would still be 3, along with 8 pool A bids, and 0 pool B bids. The MASCAC getting an autobid and removing themselves from Pool B would elminate any pool B bids being handed out, while keeping the # of pool C bids the same.

But this won't happen next year, like you said. It's after 2 years of waiting that you get recognized as a league and given the autobid. So I'm still confused why Emery would say we're only having 2 pool C bids next year.

The fun thing about the access ratio is that for hockey at least, there aren't a bunch of independent teams floating around, just 1-2 whole leagues that just don't have seven teams So even if the access ratio was 8, odds are if there were 7 teams eligible for pool B, they'd all be in the same conference.

An interesting tweak of the access ratio is that if the ecac-w somehow gets 2-3 more teams to join, it's possible that even though they have to wait two years for an autobid, they'd have enough teams not eligible for an autobid that there would be a pool b bid, with only the ecac-w eligible, so a defacto autobid.

That's what I was saying in different words. A Pool C is added because a Pool B disappears, but a Pool C is deducted because a Pool A is added.

You are correct, that if the ECAC W finds three more teams to make 8, they would essentially have an autobid - but the winner of the bid would be determined by the committee, not the tournament - which is just what has happened since the onset of the Pool system.

The only way we get to 2 Pool C bids next year is if we go from 11 to 10 teams in the field.

BTW, In the NCAA, bids are used by institutions interested in hosting round(s) of competition, playoff spots are berths :eek:

Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey - 2009/2010

A clip from a preview of the Plattsburgh State/SUNYIT Basketball matchup tonight @ Memorial Hall. This is from D3hoops.com I got a kick out of it. :D

"Plattsburgh is winners of 13 out of 14 games after an 8-6 start and is playing at home but the fan base may be more invested in hockey."

...and by the way, I'm watching the game via the Primelink site and there is a capacity crowd. Atleast 1,000 in attendance for Round 1 of the Division III Basketball Championships.

Underdog role doesn't faze Cardinals (Excerpt from the Plattsburgh Press-Republican article from 3/6/10)

It's seldom when the Plattsburgh State men's hockey team enters a game as the underdog.

That will be the case, however, when Oswego hosts the defending champion Cardinals in the State University of New York Athletic Conference Tournament championship game tonight at 7 p.m.

At stake for the winner is an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament

"I love being the underdog — that's fine with me," said Plattsburgh State head coach Bob Emery.

Emery, however, could care less about individual statistics.

"It's going to come down to who executes better and who gets better goaltending," he said. "I've said all along we're a work in progress, with a lot of new faces in the line-up this year. We have to focus on what we do best.

"They (Oswego) score on the attack and on the powerplay. We have to keep the puck out of our net and be prepared to win a 1-0 game. You can play great offense and defense at the same time and we need to use our speed on the bigger ice surface. We've proven in the past we can win at their rink."

The Cardinals counter with two freshmen — Ryan Williams (10-1-1, 1.89 gaa) and Josh Leis (8-3-3, 1.66 gaa). Leis stopped 24 of 26 shots in Plattsburgh State's 5-2 semifinal win over Brockport.

"There's a lot of mistakes in every hockey game and we had too many turnovers in the second period of the Brockport game," Emery said. "We can't let Oswego get into their transition game."

"I like the way we've played against Oswego this year," Emery said. "We don't have a lot of rah-rah guys on the team. But, this is a good time of the year and that will help."

The Cardinals have relied on their balance this season. Plattsburgh State has 15 players with 10 points or more, while Oswego has nine with 10 or more.

The Cardinals are at full strength, except for freshman defensemen Cody Adams.

"Adams is our best defensive defenseman," Emery said.

Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey - 2009/2010

:mad: :mad: :mad: :( :( :(

Post game observations:

Oswego was at the top of their game.

Plattsburgh was at or near the bottom of their game.

This was the worst performance I have seen by a Cardinal Hockey team in a long, long time.

The Cards were outgunned, outgoal-tended, outhustled, outplayed and some other outs that I have yet to think of.

For the most part they sure didn't look like they came to play.

If the NCAA gods are willing, they might get another chance this season

Sunday nite will tell the tale.

Plattsburgh reaches Final Four in hockey

Oswego SUNYAC champ (Excerpt from the Plattsburgh Press-Republican article from 3/7/10)

The Plattsburgh State men's hockey team, for the third time this season, outshot Oswego Saturday night.

The only numbers that really count, however, are on the scoreboard.

"We played our hearts out," said Plattsburgh State head coach Bob Emery. "But, this was the dumbest game we've played all season. We gave up way too many Grade A scoring chances.

"I knew how talented Oswego is. But, I felt we could outwork them. I'm proud of the guys, but we need to be smarter."

Plattsburgh State finished with a 38-23 shot advantage. But, once again, it didn't matter.

"Our players work so hard to score their goals," Emery said. "Oswego has highly-skilled guys and when they had a chance to bury the puck tonight, they did. Our goalie didn't play well, but it wasn't all his fault.

"It came down to execution and goaltending. They outexecuted us and got better goaltending. That was the bottom line."

"Their third goal broke our back," Emery said. "We cut it back to 2-1 and were all over them. But, we had a veteran player go out there and not block a shot when he had the opportunity to do so. It was a lack of sacrifice on his part.

"That goal ended up being a big difference in the game."

"We worked our butts off to the end," Emery said. "We're a hard-working team, but we're not skilled enough when we don't do a good job keeping the puck out of our net."

Kyle Gunn-Taylor, who was lifted in the Lakers' tournament semifinal win over Morrisville, turned aside 35 of 38 shots in net for Oswego.

Emery will likely find out late tonight if the Cardinals get an at-large bid into the NCAA Division III Tournament.
