2023 ECAC Permutations

[Scersk '97]

Any of SLU, Clarkson, or Colgate would give Harvard fits.

Or us.

In the quarters. In the quarters!

Actually, now that I understand your drift, my fervent hope is to avoid Colgate. My greatest fear is always a goalie standing on his head.

Q aint losing until Placid.  They aren't going to lose a best-of-three against at best the 8.

I am very hopeful we join Q and Harvard who I think are a lock to get to Placid.  The 4-slot is going to be a shitshow; could be anybody.

As of right now the 6 is Clarkson.  That is suboptimal.

I keep saying Dartmouth is better than their record (how could they be worse). Would be hilarious if they won their first round match-up and took out Q.

[Trotsky]

Maybe Shane can do that.  He looked better tonight han he has in a while on those big second period saves.

I'll be diplomatic and say that I think our best chances always lie in playing a strong possession game, netting some early goals, and then blocking a lot of shots.

Is the ECAC tournament a bracket or is it reseeded at the end of each round?

Re-seeded.

Any early upset of a top-five (top ten?) team messes up the wildcard NCAA slots available for a, say, Cornell or other team not winning the the league tournament.

Que sera, sera.

MSU beating ND in a sweep would be a help hard to know if that would move MSU up enough to be a danger.  ND not winning either game didnt do us any favors to keep ND under .500

I doubt Lindenwood is gonna help us much vs Alaska

NDak beating Omaha might be of some help?

[Trotsky]

How in the did Alaska get so high?  They've been splitting pairs against such luminaries as LIU and ASU all season.

Did they find an exploit in the algorithm?

[upprdeck]

just that one win over denver makes a big difference moves them up 7 spots..

They have played 11 home games and 21 road games. Which makes sense because who wants to go there. But as I've ranted about, road wins are 1.5x better than home wins and road losses are 66% as bad as home losses.

If you play lots of road games and have a generally good season, you're in great shape.

So basically they found a loophole. Need to tweak that formula this off-season.

For what it's worth, they appear to have a slightly tougher schedule than we do and a slightly better record. Though I don't know if strength of schedule factors in home/away.
