Opponents and Others 2023-24

Arizona State manages - barely - not to lose in regulation to an epically bad Lindenwood team (and ties it on a shorty, so good on them for not giving up). Is ASU playing shitty hockey just to spite us?!

...and loses the shootout anyway.

Cornell is getting very little help from other results. It's hard to see us catching anybody in the top 12 of the PWR, and 13 and 14 will be tough to catch unless we win almost every remaining game. Frankly, almost everyone ahead of us is a blue-blood program with a really good team this year. We need to keep winning.

[Trotsky]

We need to win the auto bid, which, happily, is the point of the post-season anyway.

No we don't. Cornell will very likely be in the NCAAs if we lose one, two, or maybe even three games without winning the ECAC tournament.

No we don't. Cornell will very likely be in the NCAAs if we lose one, two, or maybe even three games without winning the ECAC tournament.

You're the one who said we need to keep winning.  If we need to keep winning it is because otherwise we will fall out of PWR contention and have to win the auto bid.

It's your baby, Rosemary.

Yeah, we need to keep winning...the doesn't mean win literally every single remaining game. Cornell has at least 11 games left before the NCAAs. Even the best hockey team is very unlikely to win 11 games in a row.  Saying we need to "keep winning" just means we need to keep winning at a very high rate.

we need BU/BC to do their thing as well as Ndak/Denver and MSU/Minn/Wisc

Mich is only a few games over .500 and under .500 in the B10.. They get swept by MSU and/OR Minn and they could fall below .500

crazy world where UNH is 8th in HE but 16th in PWR

I'm not sure if I care about this.  I never cared for him but strangely don't feel Scadenfreude.

Playing the PWR what if is pretty hard to see us getting very much higher without some bad play above us no matter how well we play down the stretch.

If Mich doesnt get swept this weekend by MSU  they gain on us and if they sweep they really gain on us

Umass has 4 chances to win  over higher ranked teams. so best to have them beat UNH in a few weeks and hope they lose a bunch

if WMU just splits and gets swept vs NDAK we have a slight chance to pass them

st cloud needs to get swept by Denver in a few weeks

Prov would help by Maine sweeping them at home

we might be able to get to 10-11th or so with continued good play. But even home sweeps and splits on the rd we lose ground probably need 7-1 to stay in the race.

Let's not forget that conference tournaments count for the pairwise, we have plenty of time and games to go.

Also, Colorado College and UNH are right behind us and can gain a lot of ground given their remaining schedule (including NCHC/HE playoffs). Seems like this may be a really strange year where the NCAA top ~16 is top-heavy and everyone else is mediocre to bad.

I would think it would be in our best interests for BU to win the Beanpot, no?

Harvard over BU or BU over Harvard? We don't want either to lose tomorrow.

We want Harvard to win because we play them more.
