Brown is the only other place I can think of, but I doubt those would improve the atmosphere there anyway

I heard they're planning to start using goal horns and light shows as soon as they start scoring goals.

Presumably, play resumed with a face-off. There should be some mechanism for UConn to get possession of the puck in that scenario.

Also, that brings Denver up to 7th in the NPI, somehow.

The more Penn State chokes the better for us.

I just saw a bracket prediction that had us playing Denver in first round in Colorado, where Michigan is No. 1 seed. Not a great draw if it pans out!

Aye, but that's got Denver at 8. If Denver is at 7 and we stay at 9, we draw PSU, the 1 seed, and the AHA autobid, and are presumably mobile.

Maybe.

If Denver is 7 and Duluth is 10, they can't play each other in the first round (same conference)  So they might swap us and Duluth and we still end up in Colorado.

Of course, they could always swap #10 Duluth and #11 Dartmouth (since Dartmouth can't play Q in the 1st round) and leave us in Albany to help attendance.

Who really knows how the committee thinks?

and again of the AD was doing the work, they would have hosted Albany Buff or something during this run to get us a favorable draw just one time we got in that was a done deal.

Much smaller schools have hosted and gotten it done.

In the past RPI then the ECAC hosted Albany.  Now it's our Ersatz Division III nemesis - Union.

Put on the SLU/Harvard game. Saints up 2-1 right now. There are maybe twenty people in the stands.
