ECACHL scores 3/16 - Q 4 v. SLU 0 (final)

[Chris '03]

Presuming the Q holds on, does the ECAC root for Tech to lose two to help get SLU in the tourney? Can SLU beat DC and still get in? I haven't played out all the scenarios.

[French Rage]

I think there was a scenario where we get 3 in with SLU beating Clarkson in the consolation.

Q just got goal number 4, about 3:02 left in the game.

USCHO's Jayson Moy works through many scenarios in his Bracketology 2 article.  Here's one -

"Here's a situation where a three-way tie results in two teams being put out of the number-one seeded band.

"CCHA: Notre Dame defeats Michigan for the title and Lake Superior wins the third-place game.

"ECACHL: Quinnipiac defeats Clarkson for the title and St. Lawrence wins the third-place game.

"Hockey East: Boston University defeats Massachusetts.

"WCHA: North Dakota defeats Michigan Tech for the title and Minnesota takes third place.

"Atlantic Hockey: Connecticut defeats Sacred Heart.

"Clarkson winds up winning the three-way tiebreaker for fourth place with New Hampshire and Boston University."

Looks like SLU has pulled the goalie with 3:00 to go.  Gotta agree.  Stopping goals is no longer of much relevance

[Killer]

QU moves on with what looks like a pretty convincing win.

Must have gotten ugly at the end - SLU took a 2-minute roughing call at 18:49, followed by a 5-minute major for slashing at 19:14.

[quote scoop85]Wow. I thought SLU would win this one comfortably, but it appears to be Q's day (and maybe year).  Really astonishing how quickly Q has ascended in the league.  Will be interesting to see if it is an aberation or if they are here to stay.[/quote]
It's not astonishing to me at all.  Having read about the way they built up their program I expected them to be good pretty soon.  They were never likelyto be another Union Dutchmen.

Good for the ECAC.  Bad for us this year...

[Jim Hyla]

I guess it proves no dominance in ECAC this year.
I'm rooting for Clarkson in night game. Get #1 seed in Roch..

I'm not astonished that they've become good "pretty soon."  I'm just surprised that they're one win from a league championship in year two.

I guess this really confirms the conference made a good choice in QU.  Shocking outcome regardless though.

There was one result found in the thread about You are the Committee where ALL 4 ECAC teams got in.  It involves Q 1st, D 2nd, SLU 3rd, and Clark 4th.
