Looking Ahead

[Trotsky]

Obviously getting a bye is our biggest concern, but finishing 3rd instead of 4th and thereby dodging Q would also be big.

It would also mean avoiding 1 in the SF, and with this logjam the 1 is likely the team that gets very hot late.

Of course, the ideal solution is to be that team.

Well, currently U looks more likely to finish first than H, and I definitely fear H more than any other ECAC team.  (I also don't believe in momentum in sports.)

This is a great tool.

Case 00: Pessimism: Cornell 1-3 (only win v RPI) and all the rest of the results were decided as follows: split the league into top 5 bottom 7, top always beats bottom, in intragroup home always wins.  Result:

5. Cornell 27 pts (lose tiebreaker vs Q)


Case 01: Determinism: Case 00 but give Cornell the wins against Clarkson and Union so the top/bottom rules are universal

3. Cornell 31 pts (win tiebreaker vs SLU)


Case 02: Optimism: Case 00 plus Cornell sweep

2. Cornell 33 pts (win tiebreaker vs Union)


Case 03: Optimism and Screw Harvard: Case 02 plus SLU beats Harvard

1. Cornell 33 pts (win tiebreaker vs Union)

And you basically reaffirmed Playoff Status, Cornell.

So as they say, let's just win.

Freshman forward, who has played in fewer than half their games, only 1 point on the season. Not an impactful loss for them.

Northeastern currently leads Boston College 2-1 in the 3rd of the Beanpot consy. Could have interesting PWR implications, though maybe not beyond taking BC out of their "tie" with us.

EDIT: Just like that, it's tied up.

BC ties at 2; 6 min left

Looks like Northeastern pulled it out, 4-2 final.

What are the PWR implications of the Harvard v. BU game?

What are the PWR implications of the Harvard v. BU game?

A Harvard win helps a little bit but probably not enough to move to 12th. A BU win knocks CU back to 14th.

Are you certain of that? It's the BC/Providence comparison that BC upsets to tie us.  We beat them with a decent chunk of RPI edge.  Not sure that'd flip.
