Trotsky's Fantasy Post-Season

[Trotsky]

For quite some time I've played a very rudimentary card game that generates hockey results.  I will use this thread to play out the ECACs and the NCAAs on the days the games would occur.   A game takes about 2 minutes.  

I will list results here.  If you're interested I welcome you to peruse.  

ECAC QF will begin tomorrow night with the original 4 game slate.

Once the ECACs finish I will seed the NCAA field based on the final PWR, taking into consideration any dark horse ECAC champion.

If you are really, really interested I can actually play out the games in real time on slack, announcing goals as they happen.  :-)  I wish I could do it on social media but I am woefully undertalented.

[Trotsky]

Coming up on the 7pm start times.  Tonight's games:

ECAC QF Game 1

#5 Harvard at #4 RPI
#7 Yale at #3 Quinnipiac
#8 Colgate at #2 Clarkson
#11 Princeton at #1 Cornell

Games will be broadcast on slack on the general game-chat thread.  Results will be listed here.

Are you simulating the other tournaments as well?  We wouldn't need scores for those, just won/lost results so you could use KRACH if you don't already have an easy way to do it.

Cornell also won a simulation on USCHO as did the other three home teams. https://fanforum.uscho.com/showthread.php?136059-2020-NCAA-Hockey-Tournament-What-If-A-Simulation-of-the-2019-2020-Postseason&p=6923668&viewfull=1#post6923668

Princeton @ Cornell - Game 1:
 The Big Red took it to the Tigers in the opening game of this Best-of-Three series. Cornell used two goals in the opening frame, from Cam Donaldson and Morgan Barron respectively, to take a 2-0 lead, and that would be all the Big Red's Junior Netminder Matthew Galajda would need. Galajda stymied Princeton throughout the night, posting a 26-save shutout. Cornell added to their lead midway through the second on a Matt Steinburg tip of an Alex Green blast that beat Princeton goalie Jeremie Forget to give the Big Red a 3-0 lead through two periods. Both sides skated to a scoreless third period, and Cornell walked out of the rink with a 1-0 series lead.

Did they not feed the actual team rosters into the simulator?!

I had figured that it would take at least an hour before someone would comment on that spelling. :-)

What can I say? The cat woke me up early.

I could do that if you were willing to recalculate PWR based on all results.  :-)

Then we could have Adam seed the NCAA regionals.  :-)

[Trotsky]

Of course we really need Arthur to announce the goals.

took me a second to realize that these were seeds, not scores and you had not, in fact, suffered a TBI before applying boldface.
