Conference Tournaments / NCAA Bubble

[jkahn]

Thursday WCHA Scores:
Wisc. 7 - Minn. St. 2
CC 4 - No. Dak. 3 (o't)
So the two teams definitely in the NCAA lose, Wisconsin is on the bubble and CC will need to win the tournament to make the NCAA's.
All this is not good news for Union and RPI.  RPI is currently 19th in PWR, but will but rooting strongly for Wisconsin, Providence and BU just ahead of them to lose Friday.
Union is 15th and has a decent shot at making the NCAA's if they go 1 and 1 this weekend, except that with BU, Providence, CC, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan and Brown still alive in tournaments, Union could be knocked out at 1 and 1 this weekend if two of those win out (including also any non-Niagara AHA team).  Given all the funkiness of PWR, there's a lot more to this, but to maximize our ECAC chances, I'll be rooting for some favorites rather than underdogs in other conference tournaments tomorrow.

I hope Brown scores 10.

I wouldn't shed any tears.

Brown has had 5 power plays, and Hartzell has just 15 saves.  According to the Q announcers Brown is just hanging back playing good D, then scoring on the counter.

It's the quietest rink I've ever heard.  Brown must think it's a home game.

Poop on the ticks! Poop on the ticks!

ROUND THE BOWL AND DOWN THE HOLE, GO BROWN GO!

Borelli a save on a Connor Jones breakaway.  Q has just 2 SOG in the first 7 minutes of the third.

Just a quick glance, but they seem ok. It isn't like they are Neon Blue or anything horrific like that (see bball uniforms of Norte Dame, Michigan and Oregon).

Maybe they're contemporary chic and you're too old to shift with fashion. You probably didn't appreciate the first time as a kid you saw harvest gold appliances.

Not the color (which is just boring), but the logo, which looks like something out of F-1.

It's been all downhill since the Peace of Westphalia.
