Though in fact, the final was Cardinals 1 - Knights 0 - but Ducky would agree with me

Get off my....oh, wait, I'm on your...oh never mind.

One more game left in the regular season. A little over a month ago, the question was whether we would be on the road or just plain out of the playoffs. Now, we're on one of the hottest streaks in the nation, guaranteed home ice for our first playoff game, and control our own destiny for the first-round bye... sometimes, things really do fall into place when you least expect it.

In December and early January, Coach Emery was talking about all of the Plattsburgh teams we've seen peak early and falter as the season progressed, and how this was going to be the team that peaked in the second half. It came off as pure lip service at the time, but the boys on the ice have backed up Coach's claims so far. Let's keep it rolling, Cardinals!

Keep winning and get ranked that will help Norwich get the #1 seed in the NCAAs

I think they've got the #1 seed no matter what, who would pass them? Edicott? Oswego?

In December, our goaltending was in such shambles that it didn't seem to matter what happened in front of them. One hot goaltender, the younger guys clicking together, and fewer penalties later.....

Also, maybe the mass exit around the turn of the semester may have turned out to be addition by subtraction. No matter what happens in the next few weeks, this team had done themselves proud. Two months ago, could you have envisioned beating 2 top ten teams giving up only one goal in the process?

Tie-breaker over Genny?

Tie-breaker over Genny?

Apparently, if H2H and Conference wins are tied, the next tiebreaker is record against other opponents moving from top of standing down. Geneseo is 0-1-1 against Oswego, Plattsburgh is 1-1-0.

I saw the seedings on the SUNYAC web page, but couldn't find any description of the procedures to break ties. If that's the case, then congrats on the bye.

I wonder when they implemented that new tie-breaker procedure?

It used to be H2H record, followed by most wins, followed by H2H goal differential followed by league goal differential. In this scenario, Geneseo takes second place on the last criteria.

With all due respect to coach Gosek, it will be a shame if Emery doesn't win Coach of the Year. For where this team was and where they finished. I know he will credit his players, but he made a lot of coaching moves that some people just scratched their heads at.
