2023 ECAC Post Season

[marty]

Go Saint Cloud.  Now tied 2-2.

[scoop85]

We're hanging in, but our possession metrics tonight is probably rather scary looking.

[BMac]

Well, shit.

That's as close as a game gets. They should be proud. Hopefully toothpaste loses and we're not done this year.

FYI - we move down 1 spot on PWR with this OTL

Edit: I guess we already did from the QPac loss? We are at 13 on PWR after factoring in this game.

[scoop85]

We did a nice job all night limiting their skill from taking over the game, but Harvard played a sound defensive game, and we missed the net too often on most of the few good chances we had. Shane was great tonight, but it was just not enough.

[Pghas]

It just seems we so rarely have the elite skill guys who can make a great offensive play when we need it.  Like, forever.  I don't know if he doesn't recruit that way or those kids don't come here because they think we're the 1995 New Jersey Devils.  

Still seems likely we make the tournament anyway and maybe make some noise there.  And Lynah sure was a blast last weekend!

Wish Cornell could get the type of talent Harvard has. Schafer did the best he could with the players he has.

So we need any one of:

St. Cloud scores in OT and beats CC
Harvard over Colgate - Hey Trotsky where ya at on this?
BU over whoever wins UML/Merrimack

Right?

[ER]

Is there no consolation game anymore?

[scoop85]

Is there no consolation game anymore?

Nope, did away with that probably about 7-8 years ago

Right?

Right. Harvard and BU will be the favorites, so we have a pretty good shot.

The 99.7% number from the CHN model was a complete joke. I'll keep harping on it until people stop citing it. It was cited by the Cornell Daily Sun, the ELynah twitter account, the popular "Everything College Hockey" social media account, and the literal commentators of tonight's game. Publishing this model is doing everyone a disservice. It isn't calibrated to reality. It isn't backwards-tested. No one made any attempt to check whether weighting by KRACH yields accurate predictions. But they publish the model anyway and people keep referring to it.

This absolutely blows. 0-3 vs Harvard on the season and we might lose our tournament bid. Terrible.

For my money, this all goes back to losing to SLU and Clarkson late at home. Not being the "home" team is quite a disadvantage.

I have thoughts on the probabilities, but I'm gonna wait til after tomorrow to share them. Wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing and all.
