This seems like a realistic possibility.  We need to win ECAC championship and then have UNH knock off BU (I got the same result for .003 vs. .0033 etc. for bonuses).

[quote Tub(a)]One more interesting thing:

The most likely finish if we win the semi and lose the final is 8th with Minnesota in 1st. Since Green Bay is slightly closer to Minneapolis than Grand Forks, that would likely put us in Green Bay without Wisconsin. That would be

Minnesota
Cornell
Michigan
Mercyhurst

for a very interesting bracket. [/quote]

With all the locals angry that we're the Red/White team that showed up.

Actually we can end up 5th and in worcester when loosing the final and allowing for Dartmouth to get in, but it would require upsets in the other leagues.

Here's a question... can anyone find a scenario where we're out of the tournament? If the worst anyone can come up with is 13th, then that's not a bad situation. Not that I want to see that, but hey, it should keep us east (assuming that the AHA/Bemidji will be sent west as the patsies)

13th would still knock them out if there were 2 surprise winners in the major conference tournaments.  13 + 2 dark horses + 2 minor conference winners = SOL.

Yeah, but the #13 scenario layed out by Tub(a) has Miami, Dartmouth, BU, & Minn. Which is at most 1 upset, but Dartmouth with 2 wins is probably in anyway.

We all probably agree that right now winning the ECACs is the most important goal. That being said, anyone care to figure out what the worst possible seed we could have in the tournament would be, assuming we win our next two?

Thanks.

For what it's worth, the pink lettering barely shows up on my screen.  Maybe find something closer to crimson.

Oh I got the joke :-) it's just now I actually want to read the numbers without my face an inch from the screen. :-)
