thanks for the memories

I'm intrigued that Bemidji goaltender Matt Dalton took the L for that game and Cornell's Ben Scrivens won it, although for the teams it was the other way around.

USCHO: Bracketology: Time ticking down on which teams will qualify for 2020 NCAA hockey tournament

Jayson's:

Loveland

1 North Dakota
6 Denver
11 Ohio State
16 Atlantic Hockey Champion

Allentown

2 Minnesota State
7 Penn State
12 Arizona State
15 Maine

Albany

3 Cornell
8 Massachusetts
10 Bemidji State
13 UMass Lowell

Worcester

4 Boston College
5 Minnesota Duluth
9 Clarkson
14 Quinnipiac

Jim's:

Loveland[/b]

1 North Dakota
6 Denver
11 Ohio State
16 Atlantic Hockey champion

Allentown

2 Minnesota State
7 Penn State
10 Bemidji State
15 Maine

Albany

3 Cornell
8 Massachusetts
9 Clarkson
13 UMass Lowell

Worcester

4 Boston College
5 Minnesota Duluth
12 Arizona State
14 Quinnipiac

This is amusing.  I had North Dakota in Loveland for the last two weeks and now that I want to move N.D. to Allentown Jayson and Jim have moved them west.  

Loveland

2 Minnesota State
6 Denver
12 Arizona State
15 Maine

Allentown

1 North Dakota
7 Penn State
10 Bemidji
16 AIC

Albany

3 Cornell
8 UMass
9 Clarkson
13 UMass Lowell

Worcester

4 Boston College
5 Minnesota Duluth
11 tOSu
14 Quinnipuck


My other scenario for seeding gives a potential second round 2 vs 6, 1 vs 7 and 3 vs 5 with Cornell playing Duluth.  (It would move Duluth and tOSu to Albany with UMass and Clarkson in BridgeportWorcester).

It also gives BC an easier 4 vs 8 path to the finals.  This would screw Cornell in a nod to NCAA seeding history guarantee a Bridgeport sell out.  Bridgeport has been one of the cash cows since its first use as a regional location, which though true is irrelevant this year.  The seeding I have above gives Cornell a theoretical advantage and I am thinking that the committee might give has often given that advantage to Hockey East instead other schools.

Assume you mean Worcester in all the places you say Bridgeport.

Yes.  My bad and though that negates my sell out theory it is still possible that Hockey East and ticket sales will rule rather than an easier path for Cornell in this imaginary seeding.

Bemidji.  What could go wrong?

Right. The Tyler Mugford era. (Assist on the first Cornell goal. Only Cornell goal.) A name like that seems to neatly rhyme with "penalty minutes."

I really appreciate that he truly was that sort, too. Wonder if, with that name, it's self-fulfilling.

I dunno, man.  40% of all Canadian boys are named "Tyler."

This is the "Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn." of our generation.
