UNLV beats Denver in a shootout.

UNLV? I'm lost.

Did Denver play most of its usual lineup?

Missing one D man and their coach at the world juniors but other than that yes

To second the original question, "UNLV"?

Yes, UNLV's top-tier club team tied Denver (and won the shootout).  Denver dominated SOGs, but Denver goalie Davis, who was spectacular in the NCAA tournament, got pulled after giving up 4 goals on less than 20 shots. The UNLV goalie, who transferred from UNH, made over 50 saves.

Yale leading BU 7-4 at home with less than 5 minutes left in regulation. Very curious to see the highlights of that game

BU's missing a few of their top guys at the WJC, but still a surprising result.

Yale went 3-for-6 on the power play and had a shorthanded goal. BU was 2-for-6 on their power play.

Dartmouth loses to providence but a good weekend from the ECAC overall. Dartmouth has looked really weak recently, I'm very confident we can beat them when they come to Ithaca.

Their defenders are not good at defending. They have guys that can finish scoring opportunities, though, which is what has been keeping them competitive against weaker teams.

Also clarkson lost 5-1 to Concordia? D1 is embarrassing themselves in some of these exhibitions

BU lost to Yale and dropped one spot in the PWR.  We lose to I don't know Quinnipiac and drop five spots.  Logical.

There are dozens of results every night that affect PWR. Also, look at the RPI of each team and you can see that there may be large gaps between certain spots in the PWR. For example, 13-18 may be more closely bunched together than 11-12. PWR is almost entirely just RPI.

BU lost to Yale and dropped one spot in the PWR.  We lose to I don't know Quinnipiac and drop five spots.  Logical.

Also, we've played 11 games and BU has played 17, so one of our games probably has more of an impact.

Also Also, home/road/neutral ice makes a big difference.

Don't minimize my emotional reaction with your blasted logic!  It's a proven "fact" (by which I mean my feeling and gut reaction ) that the algorithm always screws us and never "them".  I will not be convinced otherwise....

It's not even the refs but the entire world! Not a coincidence they cancelled the 2020 season when we were #1... hahaha!

Credit where due - "The Committee" loath to give up its power to screw The Big Red, hired crack coders able to devise an algorithm to squash us with a veil of objectivity.
