Wcha 24 25

And now the WCHA has Wisconsin's standings points total wrong, crediting a full win instead of an OT win for tonight (Friday) vs Duluth.
 
Word on the street is Twsnbn has been mathematically eliminated from winning the regular season crown. Isn't that something.

I'm sure tomorrow's team meeting for Ohio State will be (lmao) FUN.

What a great game!!

And what a quality win for our rodent allies in Bemidji! Especially Mackenna Deering with two goals, her first of the year, and the OT winner!!

Now they've unfixed it. Again crediting Wisconsin with a full win vs Duluth.

This is funny.

USCHO is one point too low on Wisconsin's point total - 64 instead of 65 - failing to credit the 'third point' for the shootout win over St Cloud.

WCHA, in their third (?) mistake of the weekend, has them beating Duluth THREE times this weekend! Showing 68 points, instead of 65. Apparently, they played a double-header yesterday, both games ending 2-1 Wisconsin.

Seriously, guys, it's really not this hard!

LOL

if this is automated based on the game results, getting the specific logic of how many points to award into computer code is harder than you might think. Seems like every year there are some flukes with this.

I have a bachelor's in computer science, and worked for 25 years as a firmware programmer. I think I could help them with that problem. LOL

(But putting the same game into the data base twice is going to beat any program.)
 
Anyone recall a game where you only allow 8 sog and lose? At least St. Cloud is secure in their spot in the standings so they probably won't regret it, though it hurts on their chase of UMD, which was a long shot at best before the loss.

That sounds...like something the tunnelers would do.

Do the tunnelers still have tunnels? Back in the old Williams arena days of hockey there were actual tunnels under the arena. The locker rooms were below ice level connected to the tunnels they used to move steam heat around campus. Locker rooms were terribly hot. At least the visitors locker room was hot. Walking up/down stairs in gear to get to the ice.

Hmmm, you used to play in Williams arena? Care to shed any more light on your seemingly interesting personal history?

There's no reason to doubt Ditra. But maybe he's confessing to a bit of old age. ;)

In my memory bank, I was 100% sure that Gopher Men's Hockey had played in Williams Arena for decades. I'll admit I had to look up the particulars.

Williams Arena was the U of M's Home Ice from 1950 through 1993. One source of confusion is that it was renamed "Mariucci Arena" for the last 8 seasons. But it was still the same space; they just changed the signage. After the Men's Hockey Team left for the "New Mariucci," the West Side of Williams Arena was remodeled for other sports. As one example, it's the home of Women's Volleyball. IIRC, that space is now known at the Sports Pavilion.

If we look ahead and determine that Bemidji will be playing Wisconsin, how would you like to be 6th and 7th in the WCHA, wondering if you will play either the Gophers or the Buckeyes of Ohio State in the quarterfinals? There are some interesting matchups up to the quarterfinals. This has been an exciting year on a number of levels. I am hyped for what happens the rest of the season.
However things turn out in the WCHA, I wouldn't write off any eastern teams yet. Brad Frost did that when he first played Clarkson. I never saw the Gophers of that decade look so shellshocked. Clarkson that year was right behind them in all the stats, but his team wasn't prepared for a fight.

indeed, in addition to the Gopher Way tunnels around campus, there are tunnels between Mariucci (aka "3M Arena at Mariucci") and Ridder Arena. It's how the two arenas share Zambonis. Also a good way to avoid angry mobs after games if you're a zebra.

As for the Maturi Pavilion (aka Old Mariucci), it was given some further updates a few years ago, I'm pretty sure the locker rooms aren't downstairs anymore...

I guess so. We'll leave it at that since I got jumped on for bringing up non-women's hockey related topics in the past.

Na, don't let a curmudgeon or 2 stop you from saying what you want to say. That one summer a few years ago discussions went in really cool directions.
