[lynah80]

Dartmouth tied Holy Cross tonight, which didn't help.

Anyway, the current predicted brackets look like this:

I don't think even the most inane of concepts go without saying on ELF.

C'mon ECAC. We're gonna step it up and have more than two teams there right?

All other things being equal, with the current numbers that would require someone other than Cornell or Princeton to win the ECAC tournament.  And since we're entering the in-conference-only stretch of the season, the ECAC's numbers aren't likely to change all that much without some serious external help.

Since it would probably take an act of God to cause an ECAC win there, I guess that qualifies as "serious external help."::whistle::

I thought he plays basketball, not hockey. ("Two minutes for an illegal screen, but you can give yourself a pardon .")

The loss to Yale cost Cornell a lot in RPI and TUC.  Yale is now in the top 25, so the Big Red moves to 0.582 and 4-2-1 (0.643).  Still, there are a lot of games left.  Hopefully, the team will bounce back strongly against Brown.  It's unfortunate that Jordan Berk left, with two defensemen (Kreuger and Davenport) questionable for the game.

3 Point weekend for St. Cloud against CC.  
4-4
6-1

That will move St. Cloud up somewhat.

Interesting twists to the pairwise now.  Yale makes the tournament, and as a host, gets a favorable location no less!

Of course, 6+ more weeks to play.

NoDak movin' on up in the WCHA.::whistle::

FYP.  That bracketology was based on a PWR where we were tied for third; now we're tied for fourth after Saturday's games.

Yeah, after last night, if you're playing at home, I think we would be in Minneapolis playing UMD.  Michigan vs. Minnesota would be the other game.

Woohoo!  Let's hear it for big (home) ice and fast teams!

PS  Just imagine the hemming and hawing if we were to remain a #1 seed and Yale and Princeton were to drop to #13 and #14.  [Rubs hands gleefully.]  If the #1 seeds were the same as now, (1) we would be playing Air Force or Niagara, (2) we would have to be placed in Manchester, and (3) Vermont would be cata-paulted out to Minneapolis, even though a higher seed.

EDIT:  Well, I suppose we could play Air Force or Niagara in Minneapolis, but, still, imagine the grousing from all sides...
