Opponents and Others, 2022-23

Quote from: arugulaGood. I'll go with that. Not looking good for BC though.

Harvard beating or tying BU would make it harder for us to flip our comparison against them. We need to maintain our RPI lead and either win common opponents or beat them head to head one more time.

We can win common opponents if we keep winning, but Harvard beating or tying BU makes that tougher.

And regardless of whether Harvard wins, they still have to go up to Hanover this weekend and Dartmouth has kept many games close this year.

Harvard outshot 22-2 in 3rd period, and went over 16 minutes without a shot, as BC scores twice in final three minutes to tie game and send it to OT. Then Harvard scores with 1.5 seconds left to pull it out.

Quote from: arugulaDoes anyone know how the Ivy standings are decided? Is it 3 for regulation, 2 for overtime like ECAC? If so, we stand a good shot of at least tying for the league because of H's 3 ot wins. Minor point but would be nice.
The official Ivy site appears to use derp points, but NOT the ECAC's derp points. Princeton's record (4-4 .562) doesn't track for either straight nor derp points (ether .500 or .542). Likewise Cornell 6-2 .812 vs .750 or .792.

After wrestling with it for a bit, my conclusion is the Ivy site is just fucked up.

The Ivy site for last year uses derp points correctly but doesn't record OWs and OLs correctly. My assumption is someone just typed in the points and whatever else they scraped up.

But, going by that, we and Harvard should end up tied if we both win out, since both teams will have failed to claim 5 derp points.

For such a talented team (I'm told) they get pushed to OT an awful lot. That's their 7th OT, winning 5 of them. 3x3 shinny benefits a team that has a Coronado line.

I don't pay close attention to little regional tournaments like this. Was this also a 5-min 3x3 OT w/ shootout format? Or do they play real hockey in Bostontown?

Thanks. CHN box has the GWG at 4:59 currently.

Mike said when they put Coronato and Farrell out to start our overtime he thought "Oh well."

upprdeck · February 06, 2023, 10:17:28 PM

maybe just play it like a 3-3 PK and dont chase them. at least then to score they need to take a shot from a decent way out.

Trotsky · February 06, 2023, 10:20:14 PM

FWIW in PWR, BU is letting us down.

Quote from: TrotskyFWIW in PWR, BU is letting us down.

That's fine. At the risk of getting too arcane, Harvard beating BU would've been very bad for us. So BU losing takes care of that.

On the other hand, one of Northeastern or Harvard is going to win the Beanpot. What a world.

Apparently Northeastern won three in a row recently. Mind blown.

No. It was 3x3 for five minutes. Apparently due to an NCAA requirement. Harvard scored at 4:58.5.

Just watched it. 3x3 overtime remains incredibly dumb.

Having any overtime at all is Reagan. Fun and inane and popular so, meh, whatevs.
3x3 is Dubya. Nobody asked for or needed this but creeping meatballism is entropic.
Shootout is Dump. A defilement and sheer malevolence.
