Okay, so I had a little time on my hands and just nerded out on the PWR Predictor. Ran multiple permutations of us NOT winning the HEA tournament (losing to Lowell), and in no situation were we higher than 17th. While admittedly not exhaustive, I am pretty much thinking our only NCAA hope is to get the auto-bid with a tourney championship. That would be pretty sweet.
two things, one would think sitting at 17 currently with power of 42 that a win over a lower ranked team would do something for our power, but no.. If we beat PC we are still at 42. No idea why and doesn't make sense. However I do no we have blown our chances numerous times with our less than stellar performance. Just one win against Union or Vermont, not to mention other games would have sufficed. Which brings me to Saturdays game, two goal lead a win and we are at 15 [maybe even 14] in the power and with one win in Boston on Friday would have solidified our NCAA birth. Unfortunately now we have to run the table . Can UNH win three games in a row, hmmmmmm
