BU eliminates Merrimack, 5-3. Wade Megan with the empty netter with 4.4 secs left on a diving stab from just off the right boards as he chased down an iced puck.
Yale looked terrific this weekend - scored 9 unanswered goals in two games after giving up an early score last night, defense and penalty killing were great, only complaint about the offensive is that they should have scored even more.mabrowndog said:ECAC Roundup

We can help you move up some more with a couple more wins.Domer said:<br /><br />Welcome to Teams Under Consideration! Notre Dame just moved from 15th to 10th in the pairwise.
We mentioned in the column this past week that Boston University has a double-edged sword. Defeat Merrimack, but watch your TUC record go down because Merrimack would drop as a TUC. That’s exactly what happened on Friday night.
What to watch for on Saturday night? Ohio State is right at .5000 in the RPI, Nebraska-Omaha is on the precipice of falling out at .5015 and Holy Cross is at .5025 and Air Force at .5022. Should Nebraska-Omaha fall out and Colorado College does not become a TUC once again, that negates a lot of things for Wisconsin, since it was 2-0 against Nebraska-Omaha, but 0-2 against CC.
Ohio State falling out would benefit Notre Dame. And a Holy Cross and Air Force loss could see those two teams falling out of TUC range.
Then you have Michigan at .4995 and Connecticut at .4990. There is some impact there on the PWR also.
So Saturday is an interesting night all around.

That's going to be one late arriving crowd this year.Laser Show said:Providence wins 3-2. Going to the Garden for the second straight year. They'll play UML on Friday at 5 PM.
Manzivino said:Quinnipiac scores with the goalie pulled and 1:05 left in regulation to tie their rubber match with Cornell at 2. Heading to overtime now.
ForceAtHome said:Quinnipiac wins on their 63rd shot. Senior forward Kevin Bui scored just his 5th goal in four seasons.
mabrowndog said:BU and PC catch a huge break with Colorado College's upset of Denver tonight in the WCHA. The Tigers (#27 in the PWR) are who Wisconsin plays next. Wins by the Terriers and Friars this weekend (over #4 BC and/or #6 UM-L respectively) may well vault one/both over UW regardless of how the Badgers do against CC.
ajml said:So is UNH effectively eliminated with that loss?
mabrowndog said:I've been playing with the USCHO Pairwise Predictor, trying to see if/how BU &/or PC can get an at-large bid if Wisconsin doesn't lose in the next round. From what I can tell so far, it can't happen for Providence. And there appears to be no way both of them can get bids by meeting in the HE final, even if Wisconsin loses. But if BU beats BC and then loses to MA-Lowell, while the Badgers advance in the WCHA, the Terriers would be ranked 16th. BUT they'd also need the following to happen.
* Niagara HAS to win the AHA, because even if the Purple Eagles lose in the semis to Canisius they won't drop out of the Top 16, and the AHA would be a 2-bid league.
* Union HAS to lose to Yale, AND they HAVE to lose to either Brown or Quinnipiac in the ECAC consolation game.
Bottom line: Hockey East looks to be a 4-bid conference at most, and it's either/or for BU and PC.

Here's a way for HE to get 5 teams in- PC over BU in HE final, favorites win everywhere else, Union loses ECAC consolation.

I believe the percentages are (scenarios in) / (total possible scenarios) without any weighting for likelihood.
ECAC signed a 3 year deal for Lake Placid.Philip Jeff Frye said:I haven't attended in person since they've gone to Atlantic City, but tickets should be extremely easy to get. The attendance in the past has been disastrously bad because Atlantic City is so far away from where any of these schools actually play. My understanding is that the contract is up after this year and the tournament is expected to move back to somewhere more central like Albany (where it used to be) or Bridgeport.
