In the we are not alone department, check out yesterday's WCHA results. # 6 in the USCHO poll ND with 2 Hobey finalists, lost to not in the top 20 CC. # 8 MN ST laid an egg, allowing more goals than in any game this season, 3 in the first 8 minutes.

Didn't Ferris St make the finals last year. How can UNH and Maine not be able to compete with Ferris St.?

Actually, looks like we fell to 9th in practical terms.
SCSU and somebody else moved ahead while NoDak was falling.

Of course, the irony is that BU or PC probably needs to win the tournament at the Garden this weekend to make the NCAAs, while UNH coasts into Manch based on their superb OOC record at the beginning of the season.
I always have thought that our next trip to the FF will come at the most unexpected time; go Cats and pull off a couple of upsets next weekend.
Re: UNH Wildcats 2012-2013 Postseason Thread
Yes, but we (BU) didn't deserve to get in based on our inconsistent performance in the middle of the season. I, for one, am glad that the regular season actually means something. We all know that the whole post-season tournament idea was conceived as another way to make money. In basketball, they justified it by trying to say that it's important for the "hot" team to make the tournament, which just negates the regular season even more.
I hope you guys can put the quarterfinals behind you and get revved up. I don't sense a lot of enthusiasm over here. As disappointing as it has been the last couple of weeks, at least you're still playing. The "entire body of work," as they say, was what got you there so you should feel good about your chances. Anything can happen. Providence was a tough team to play against - as Lowell was for BU. A bad matchup - having a team used to playing wide-open play tentative because you know that one mistake can cost you the game. In the NCAAs, there are few teams that play that way because the talent level is higher and it's impossible to win with a "goal prevention" mentality (in other words, to try to win 1-0 like Lowell and Providence do). UNH is the "forgotten" Hockey East team with all the attention on Lowell and BC so perhaps with the expectations lowered you can go out and relax and fly under the radar.
And by the way, now we know how you felt in 2009. Tonight we lost by a goal when the puck got knocked into our own net by a sliding defenseman after the goalie had made the initial save. To get that close with an overachieving team (coming back to beat BC for our fifth win in a row and to keep Parker's career going) and lose that way was devastating.
Good luck!

Thanks, Chickod. I should have noted that our regular season sweep of UML was also instrumental in keeping UNH so high in the PRW, in a less than 20 win season. Will be interesting to see if the Wolverines complete their most improbable comeback today to make the NCAAs for a continuation of their historic post-season run. And, would be a chance to see them along with the River Hawks and Badgers in Manch next weekend.

I tend to agree: Perhaps something like .... Michigan comes out of nowhere beats Notre Dame .... Minnesota State gets sent to Manchester and UNH wins .... setting up a Lowell UNH final .... a combination of "second-life" motivation and a Lowell stumble .... and off we go to the Pittsburgh FF where as we have learned the hard way .... "anything can happen"
During my graduate work in Pittsburgh the famed baseball announcer for the Pirates was Bob Prince. After games in which the Pirates would come from behind he would say ... "We had em all the way." Of course having Clemente in the outfield helped ....
After all these years I hate to even type the above ....
