Opponents and Others, 2022-23

[Al DeFlorio]

As the 5-minute OT came to an end, one of the announcers said he wished they would just keep playing 3-on-3 overtime instead of going to a shootout. He noted that with all of the open ice in 3-on-3, it wouldn't take that much time for one of the teams to score a goal. It sounded like neither one of the broadcasters was a fan of deciding the tournament title in a shootout.

 Is the NCAA mandating the OT rules in this tournament?

The announcers said last Monday that the NCAA isn't allowing teams to play more than a 5-minute overtime during the regular season.

That's what I remembered hearing recently too.  We bow to their authority.

Also mentioned in the CHN game article.  Harvard's slick, heralded draft choices failed in the shoot-out.

That's a strange takeaway given both of Harvard's goals were scored by 1st round draft pick Coronato.

To be fair Levi is the best goaltender in college hockey and will himself almost certainly be in the NHL in a few years.

That's a strange takeaway given I was writing about the shootout.

OK, just don't really understand the point here. In the NHL, a shootout attempt succeeds about 30% of the time. I.e., every individual shootout attempt is a lot more likely to fail than succeed. Harvard took only three attempts, which is an inconsequential sample size, and all were against the best goalie in college hockey. In the third attempt, it looked like Laferriere had made a good move, but the puck hit Levi's arm and deflected away from the net. So I don't really think last night's shootout means much of anything.

Regarding Levi, he's considered the best college goalie, but he's under 6 feet tall. At the moment, there are few or zero NHL goalies under 6' receiving regular playing time. It will be interesting to see if Levi makes it in spite of his smaller size.

With Colgate's win over SLU, we will end up in either 2nd or 3rd, since we win the tiebreaker with Colgate.

Check out shots on goal in Schenectady.
13-0 after 1.

[Al DeFlorio]

SLU couldn't count...twice in the first period!

A UConn loss here would be really bad as we might lose our quality win bonus.

[Dafatone]

A UConn loss here would be really bad as we might lose our quality win bonus.

It looks like the quality win bonus is a sliding scale based on the team's rank. So there isn't a cliff that you fall off of if a team goes from the bottom of the quality win bracket to out of it.

[upprdeck]

if uconn loses and you adjust our PWR in real time we lose about .04 pts.. It may move more later after other games.  Winning tonight is probably bigger deal for us because Uconn in theory could also steal a bid.. really want BU to run the table in HE..

Oh, I thought it went from 0.0025 points if they were in 20th to none if they fell out of the top 20. Not such a huge game in that case.

It does, but it's also .05 if they were in 1st. So the difference between 19th and 20th is equal to the difference between 20th and 21st.

Still better for us if Uconn wins, but no cliff.

[Iceberg]

Chippiness at the end of the game at Harvard but the home team leading 6-1.

Q advances as expected.

SLU making it interesting as they're now down 3-2. SLU color guy sounds drunk
