Re: Hockey East - Who's in, who's out, who's home: by the numbers - 2012-13 edition
Jeff -
No.
UNH does not clinch Home Ice with a tie.
While MC cannot reach 32, BC and UML can certainly pass it.
UNH wins the H2H w/ BU, true. But in a 3-way tie at 32 w/ BU/UNH/PC, the RRRs break out this way:
That would elevate BU to the 3 seed. The UNH/PC H2H would go to PC, who would get 4th. UNH gets 5th.
That one's not even hard. If you don't get the math, that's fine - but you keep posting as fact things that aren't true.
Don't guess - at least without saying it's a guess. It does a disservice to your readers, especially anyone reading a Western College Hockey Blog that, presumably, isn't following the Eastern leagues as closely and is relying on you to do the work. Hell, just link them back to this thread so they know what the correct tbs are. (If you need me to trim a couple of lines here, so your blog readers don't see the stuff in blue, let me know.)
That said, your soft analysis is good (as opposed to the hard numbers) and things like why Bigos is out, or NU playing 10 D and 8 F is really good material. That's insight someone might not get from just the box score.

UNH can clinch home ice with a tie or win Friday night in Durham against Maine.
