I don't know about everyone else, but if winning the ECACs gets us sent to Fargo, while losing tonight gets us closer to home, I'd rather have the ECAC title even if it means most of us won't get to watch the NCAA games next weekend in person. After all, we haven't wont the ECACS since 2010. It's time to end the drought!

Guessing you also figured out how to delete a post, since the post with the question seems to be gone...

multiple shots to get to 7 seed.   PSU losing would help since it keeps them out of allentown too.

Basically...

If we win and Northeastern and Denver both lose (or Denver ties), we get to 7.  If either one of those two win, we get 8.  If they both win, we get 9.

We lose, and we're 11 in most cases, except if Bowling Green beats Mankato.  Then BG gets 11 and we're 12.

Please no 8 or 9. Fargo gets 8 and 9 unless they are both from the same conference.

They won't be.  If we're 8 or 9, Clarkson will drop well below us and Quinny will be above us.

Using the CHN "You Are The Committee" site, having all the higher seeds except Denver win, gets us in 8th and Clarkson in 9th. Switching that up and having BU beat Northeastern gets us 7th and Clarkson 8th.

OK, mea culpa.

I agree with that sentiment.  Let's win in Placid and let the chips fall...

agreed. I care more about winning NCAA than winning ECAC but I care much more about winning ECAC than seeding considerations once we're already in.

I have a better idea. Let's all chip in and pay off the committee to send the team to a venue we prefer. If rich kids can get into Yale by bribing university officials, surely we can come up with a bribe that would get our guys into Providence (or even Allentown).

What does hosting entail? I have to figure that ultimately, it's just paying up. Let's host in Providence or Allentown, or maybe try to put a regional in some upstate NY town.

we could host anytime we wanted in albany or buffalo.  but it requires some effort from the AD and the staff to organize things..

For a regional, Rochester is probably easier than Buffalo. Someone should find out what it takes.

Syracuse and Binghamton also have big enough rinks, right?

i thought they had to be 10k or more to qualify

More than that. Albany is now too small.
