ECAC Playoff Scenario Stats

Not sure how scientific/accurate these are, but the odds look good to me as long as Yale gets 5th and we get 4th.

The big question is obviously how they determine the win-loss probabilities of any particular game. The method that jumps to mind most directly (KRACH ratings) doesn't predict ties.  But from a quick glance the numbers seem believable qualitatively.

Let me say that one's playoff probabilities are definitely helped by playing the three worst teams in the league to close out the season.
