Yale Bulldogs Hockey - 2012-2013

Re: Yale Bulldogs Hockey - 2012-2013

Not really, and I've followed it up by ****ing away $125 in Paigow Poker in about 10 minutes. I'm trying to absorb all the bad luck to leave only good luck for the hockey team.
. Another reason to go to Placid.. All I can say is Beat QU!!!

Agreed. In one sense, if you lose three times in one year to QU you probably don't deserve to get in anyway.

Just bought tickets. Mrs. Goblue78 and I are in 220 row J. I'll be wearing the 78 hat. Stop by and we can drink... Celebration or commiseration.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs Hockey - 2012-2013

Lose and I think it's more like 80% chance we are out of NCAAs.

Statistically, our chances of the tournament are pretty good even if we lose today.
But if we lose today, we really don't deserve it.
Essentially, if we lose today we'll want 3 of Union, Wisconsin, Mass-Lowell, and Notre Dame/Miami to win their tournaments, and in all cases those are the higher seeded teams.

Someone remind me why the ECAC still has a consolation game?

Well in cases like this, if the three said teams do not win their respective tournaments then you guys would need a win in the "consolation game" that you speak of just to make it. For Yale it's win and you're in! :)

WYBC will have coverage of today's third place game starting at 3:40 pm EDT on WYBC-AM 1340 and WYBC.com. America One Sports stream will be Quinnipiac radio this afternoon. Puck drops at 4 pm.

And as far as we've seen, here's what it looks like for Yale:

Win — somewhere between 5-8 in PairWise, definitely in the tournament
Tie (which is possible, apparently?) — around 8-10 in PairWise, definitely in
Lose — 12-13 in PairWise, bid depends on other conference tournaments

Speaking of St. Lawrence, didn't they miss an NCAA bid just 3 or 4 years ago because of the consolation game? IIRC, in that game, St. Lawrence actually won the game, but for NCAA purposes it was recorded as a tie.

Some slight good news for Yale: Notre Dame leads Ohio State 3-1 late in the 3rd period.

I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding me ;)
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs Hockey - 2012-2013

So, you're with me in wanting the elimination of that game? ;-)

Final in Detroit: Notre Dame 3, Ohio State 1.

You never know, there could be a time where a team may need a win to make the tournament. I'll let the ECAC decide on that one, it's not my place. And besides, it's one more game for us fans to enjoy. However we won't be able to enjoy it on national television as it appears that Fox Sports doesn't consider this game important any more than you do :(

I had to leave town this AM for some family commitments, and as it stands now at 2-0 QU, I am glad I left. Have one for me, I had one too many last night at the Karaoke Bar singing the blues.
 
This weekend has been extraordinarily depressing.
I can't tell sitting here on my cellphone when the last time was that Yale was shutout two games in a row. But take heart! With a Lowell win tonight and a Notre Dame win tomorrow, believe it or not, we're still in... Apparently.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs Hockey - 2012-2013

How It Gets In:

How do the four remaining teams left for two spots get in?

St. Cloud State: Either BU or Michigan loses
Yale: Both BU and Michigan loses
BU: Win
Michigan: Win

It looks to me like Yale is out with Michigan's win this afternoon. Does anyone see it differently?
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs Hockey - 2012-2013

Upon a double check my previous post is correct. Notre Dame needs to win tomorrow for you guys to make the tournament. This doesn't even matter which one of the two between Wisconsin and CC win tonight!
