2005-2006 PWR

Its distinctly possible, but depends a lot on what the teams ahead of us do. If a few of them lose, absolutely. If most of them win out, then I would doubt it.

Right now, the goal has gotta be to get to the 6-3 range as the Western teams have the top two spots all but sewn up.  If Cornell wins out, how likely is it that they get into the 6-3 range?  And if Cornell sweeps the QF and split in Albany, what are the chnaces of that happening?

Hate to say it, but even at a lower seed, we could be given to the Albany regional provided we aren't required to be screwed over.

If MN and WI are predestined for one and two, then seven, eight, nine, ten, fifteen, and sixteen look to be headed west.  Unless, that is, the dreaded intraconference first-round matchup rears its ugly head.

Which poses some really interesting problems if UND makes it in to the tournament as a 4 seed in their regional. Neither Wisc or Minny would be able to be the 1 seed there. It would likely be Miami @UND, UMN @ Green Bay (Wisc isn't actually the host), and UW sent out east.

From what I played around with we would need help, i.e. MSU or BU tanking it early in their playoffs

... sticking it to another school with rabid fans who'll pack an arena within a couple hours drive.

Might I be so bold as to suggest that this thread be closed on 2/28 and a new thread started for March PWR discussions?  It is getting a little large to navigate IMNSHO

Agreed.  The recruit one should be restarted also.  I think it might be more unwieldy than the unwieldy thread it was meant to replace.  ::nut::

Yes, we are definitely in need of a new "playoff edition" of the 2005-2006 PWR thread (I was thinking that last night, just not up to suggesting it).  Maybe we can call the new thread  "By the Numbers: How to get to Grand Forks, ND". ;-)

Yes, I know way too early to be speculating how the committee will send us to ND. We need to focus on getting Cornell to Albany!!

EDIT: Albany for the ECACHL!

[TimV]

Maybe not so bad.  This years recruits look small so hopefully they're fast and can use the space.:-D
