the math doesnt lie

Actually, someone on USCHO board has done the math - if all the higher seeds win for the rest of the season, this is your final PWR http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?92167-Too-early-for-the-PWR-Princeton-and-Brown-say-no!&p=5067396&viewfull=1#post5067396 1 Yale (EC) 27 0.5807 2 Boston Coll (HE)26 0.5825 3 North Dak (WC) 25 0.5880 4 Michigan (CC) 24 0.5636 5 Union (EC) 22 0.5708 6 Miami (CC) 21 0.5555 7 Denver U (WC) 20 0.5557 8 Merrimack (HE) 20 0.5486 9 NE-Omaha (WC) 19 0.5458 10 Notre Dame (CC) 18 0.5538 11 MinnDuluth (WC) 18 0.5528 12 New Hamp (HE) 15 0.5467 13 Dartmouth (EC) 14 0.5356 14 Minnesota (WC) 14 0.5297 15 West Mich (CC) 13 0.5279 --- 16 CO College (WC) 13 0.5252 17 Boston U (HE) 12 0.5349 18 RPI (EC) 11 0.5229

It also doesn't say specifically what "play-in" games are afternoon/evening on Thur. They have left that open-ended. Schlossman and/or Dave need to come to the rescue.

Not an Ovech-trick - how about a Hak-trick?

They may have been a #1 seed quite often - that usually helps you stay close to home.

Moy must assume that attendance is not king - that you can't ignore bracket integrity and ship Wisco to Green Bay, no matter the Pairwise. A #1 seed shouldn't be placed in Regional where they have to play an defacto road game against a 4 seed that is not an official host. I agree with Moy that attendance will be a factor, but not the main factor, in determining pairings. It could all be moot if Bucky keeps playing like it did last weekend - and no - the "committee" will not find a way to get Wisco in the tournament no matter what so it can play in Green Bay. I hope we all have been educated enough to know that there is no wiggle in the criteria that determines the 16 teams in the tournament.

Great work as always. We all must remember that the only PWR that matters is the last one.

Trupp

NH is possibility as well - if Yale stays #1, NH could not be seeded 8/9, since both Yale and NH are hosts.

As predicted, the Sioux add an older, physical D to the roster to balance the smaller/skill D that will be here in 11/12 (Simpson, Gleason, Mattson).

Contrary to other reports, I wouldn't be surprised to see JG in the lineup this weekend.

Hard work in practice is great - can he stop the puck/stay in the net? Dell is much more fundamentally sound than Eids
