    How’d you know?! And somehow I was still convinced the puck was gonna find its way into the Norwich net...seemed like one of those games. Was there at the game and if there was a shot it wasn’t a memorable one...then again...not many were in this game. But I’ll take that last shot any day

      A conference “playoff” where everyone makes it is no kind of playoff at all.

        You probably should’ve watched the game then

          This will be the last year of that. Next year it will be 8 of 10 like it used to be.

            Only the top six make the playoffs in SUNYAC. 3- 6 play a quarter final round and the 1-2 host the semis. Earning the last playoff spots almost always comes down to the last night of the regular season.

              Much better. Maybe I’m greedy, but I’d love to see just the top 4 get in. Play a conference “final four” at the top seed’s rink Friday/Saturday. Wrap up the whole thing in one weekend.

                6 has been deemed to Give the #1 the easiest route to the final (most times)

                  The "used to be" was 8 out of 8, because St. Mikes, and St Anselm were excluded.

                  In the days of the old 20 team ECAC East, 10 teams made the playoffs, but NESCAC teams could decline, because they couldn't play in both the NCAA and ECAC playoffs.
                  I'd rather see something like the SUNYAC system.

                    Good point. Brain fart there. Was also thinking about the women too as at least one or two of the women’s teams were left out once the non-Division III teams were pulled out.

                      The SUNYAC system almost makes it like pre-playofs the last couple games of the season and every game has meaning.

                        Don’t hate it at all. Certainly gives more meaning and it rewards the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds with byes.

                            Never happen - one of those teams might be Castleton.

                              Castleton will join the LEC hockey conference when it forms and the NEHC will take in fellow GNAC member Anna Maria as Castleton's replacement.

                              So, no problem!

                                I agree with you 100%. This year has not been a stellar year. We will need a "given night" if we have to play the buzz saw of Hobart again. They seem to have stolen NU play book.
