 16 Princeton
It is better to be in this position, where the mere act of playing in conference does not pull us down into a gravity well.

It's all arbitrary philosophical decisions - going back to my argument against home site Regionals

Slllllllllllllllowly I turned...

We're up to 12 in npi? Great.

It's volatile.  We had dropped as low as 17 after That Didn't Happen in Potsdam.

BearLover mentioned reversion to the mean for Dartmouth in another thread. If true, it sure is nice for the league they over-performed in their out-of-conference games. It would be highly entertaining if we have something like this at year end; fans of other conferences would lose their minds.

[Trotsky]

At the moment, we are 11th.

Rights to 08 F Anthony Dontigny (Cornell) traded to Rimouski and he will join the team from BCHL West Kelowna once Hockey Canada processes the transaction.

Not exactly meeting the BearLover point producer standards. Or anyone's. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=290852

As a center?
Is he good at faceoffs or shutdown or something? Why would he make the jump from BCHL to QMJHL...

Sorry that I somehow posted this on the wrong thread.

Neglected to post our big jump in the polls:

14 in USCHO up from 17
12 in USA Hockey up from 17

So...currently ninth in NPI.

I'm wondering if one of the PWR (now NPI) gurus might be able to compute where we'd be right now if we:

--had won in OT last night (second Alaska game)

--had tied in OT last night (second Alaska game)

Thanks (if anyone feels like doing this.)

So I found the spot on CHN that actually allows you to customize the NPI numbers by changing past results  and/or inputting future results. (Very cool! Thanks, Adam!)

A tie or an OT win would have had us at 10th. An OT loss would have had us at 11th. A regulation loss would have seen us at 15th. (I had actually expected more of a drop from the first three possible outcomes.)

I had the second Colgate-UNH game on today, and the NESN commentators made the point that if UNH had held on to go into OT the night before (Colgate got the game winner with 73 seconds left in regulation), it would have really helped the Wildcats in NPI.

I believe you mean UHN.
