Originally posted by NU_Husky View PostTo the hockey historians on these boards, has NU ever been the highest-rated PWR team heading into this tournament? Certainly not recently, and given the history of the Beanpot, I would say this must be a first.

Re: Beanpot LXVI: The Tong Wars Resume
What makes this year's Beanpot compelling is that it's about a lot more than just local bragging rights. It's about nothing less than PWR survival. As of today, NU is #14; BU is #20; BC is #21; Harvard is #23. And for those unfamiliar with PWR, #15 is the actual cutoff because of the Atlantic Hockey autobid.
So, the team that wins both games not only wins the Beanpot but also significantly improves its PWR standing. The team that loses both games is likely consigned to PWR oblivion. The team that splits probably stays in PWR Limbo."Through the years, we ever will acclaim........"

Originally posted by defkit View PostGiven the parity in Hockey East, I wouldn't consider 15 a safe place. Right now PC is well above any other HE school in terms of PWR, but there is certainly a good chance of another team taking home the tourney title and knocking out an at large bid. I can't speak for the other conferences."Through the years, we ever will acclaim........"
