ECAC OOC Performance 12-13

[nyc94]

Dartmouth and Quinnipiac are 3 and 4, respectively, in Pairwise.  Yale is 7 and Cornell 12.  Union is 16 and would be out of the tournament if the season ended today due to Atlantic Hockey autobid.

As much as I root against Union, 16th is currently in the tourney because RMU of the AHA is 13th.

My bad.  I had only been paying attention to Niagara.  RMU really moved up this weekend.

edit: Actually, it depends how you look at it.  When Jayson Moy does "Bracketology" on USCHO he awards the autobid to whichever team is in first place. Niagara is in first place in Atlantic Hockey by a large margin (9-0-1 for 19 points in league games, 10-3-4 overall ) but 19 in Pairwise.  RMU is way back in the Atlantic Hockey standings at 4-3-1 for 9 points (9-4-2 overall).  I think if Moy wrote that column today both RMU and Niagara would be in and Union would be out.

For those of us who remember Dartmouth in the 80's and 90's, this morning's PWR is the equivalent of hell freezing over.

They couldn't stand the success.

Dartmouth comes down to earth, losing to UMass 3-2.

In all, 23 penalties were called, totaling 87 minutes. That figure included two game misconducts (one aside), three five-minute majors and four 10-minute misconducts.

Each team got a SH and UMass had two on PP.

They're now 4^th in PWR. I posted the new PWR on polls thread.

I do too.  My favorite memory is Bob Gaudet trying to shoot a puck at us during warm-ups in the Boston Garden because he got tired of us calling him an ugly sieve.

Well he was.

No, I don't think I want to read more. In a year when we have a good OOC league record and good pairwise, probably the same thing, we can hardly break the top ten.

How does our league KRACH look?

I don't know if you were being serious or not, but here's it from CHN. No, I'm not going to clean it up, I do too much of that with the polls each week.::help::

Better than I thought it would. I think you're right her bracket was a bit harsh, but I tend to put more stock in KRACH than PWR when it comes to rating teams, so I'd probably hold off on declaring ECAC Hockey the best conference in the country or anything crazy like that.

[Trotsky]

The funny thing is, Paula should know better.  She's been posting about college hockey forever and unlike many of the troops enlisted in that effort she's... how shall I put this?... not stupid.

Maybe she knew something we didn't. For the ECAC, a dismal start to the weekend. I'll take the blame. Q is second in PWR. Dartmouth 7, and Yale 12. We're hanging in at 15.

[Trotsky]

Harvard trails BU 5-2 in the third, looking in top shape for their annual Beanpot SF loss.

[Jim Hyla]

5-4 now
