This is the softest sports forum I've ever seen lmao. People literally rooting for a player who ditched our team 

Please do not reproduce.

Pleases me to imagine who would partner without a paid transaction.

The wise path is to wish Ben Robertson success in life and future endeavors but not in any way that helps Michigan.

Watching the repetitve bonding over hating one guy on the forum is as frustrating as a reader as it is seeing the same guy build a stack of assumptions into a barely-qualfied thesis.

Agreed!
No one but Ben knows his reasoning and TBH, It's none of our business.
I wish him well, as do his former teammates. Do they wish he had stayed? YES
But, they understand his reasoning regardless
I'm over the nonsense

It's so cringe-inducing to watch. Same few people every time too. The theses are great though. If I weren't confident in my assumptions, I wouldn't make them.

Crazy game at Quinnipiac today, as the bad guys win 7-6 over Holy Cross in OT after blowing a 3-goal lead in the final 6 minutes. Holy Cross scored five goals in the third period and Q scored three. A player on HC, DeBoer, who had four goals all season, had a natural hat trick in the third period.
Sadly, HC couldn't convert on a point-blank show in OT and a few minutes later Q finished off a 2-on-1.

Still a bad result for Q. It's only .48 of a win (.6 for OT x .8 for home ice) against a team that will likely finish poorly in the NPI.

.5 of a win I believe, the home/road weightings don't count for OT I think

Oh, I remember hearing that too. .6 of a win then, right?

I think they get .4 of a win for the regulation tie (0.8 times 0.5), plus 0.1 for the OT win which is excluded from home/road weights. But Adam please correct me if I'm wrong

They get 0.2 for the OT win. They get credit for the whole (win) of the OT portion (0.2). Regulation is 0.4 for each team - so either 0.4x0.8 or 0.4x1.2 ... The remaining 0.2 goes to the winner with no weighting.

so .8 x .4 = .32 + .2 = .52 credit for Q

To no one's surprise, Dartmouth up 1-0 against Merrimack after 1 period. Union and Miami tied 2-2 late in the only early game where an ECAC upset would be realistic

[chimpfood]

Quinnipiac almost lost to stonehill but had a late comeback to win, Dartmouth also gets a win over Merrimack. Umass loses to Army and SLU loses to Lowell. RPI just took the lead over Niagara.

UMASS is taking a nosedive

A tough 3-7-1 Saturday; 8-12-2 overall for this round of holiday games.  Missed opportunity to give the conference some interconference math heft.

Steep drop to 12 in the NPI after today. With the north country on the road, followed by Omaha and Alaska at home after break, we don't have highly ranked opponents coming, so we gotta keep winning.

We're not in a good position but we've played well enough so far to have a real shot at making the tournament so maybe it will happen

The NC$$ is port and cigars after the meal. 

The ECACs are dinner.

Play well in conference, fight our way to Lake Placid, and take a run at The Title.  Then we can worry about the NC$$ victory tour, but it's not relevant during the season.

Pretty much nobody else (fans, coaches, players) feels this way, we're trying to win our first national championship in 56 years, but if you don't want to follow Cornell's out of conference games, that's your prerogative.

I couldn't agree with this sentiment more.
