    It matters not. Oh, perhaps just a bit. The goal is to be the highest rated PWR team coming OUT of the tournament, while carrying the Beanpot onto the team bus.

      hopefully one of your students is co opting at the T this year and will get to tell his grandkids how he drove the beanpot back to huntington ave.
      a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

        I would say 1982 but PWR didn't exist then.

          Are we sure it wasn’t in 2009? I remember NU was pretty highly ranked that year, in addition to BU.

            Going into the 2009 Beanpot, BU was #1 and NU #7 in PWR.

              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.

                Given 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.

                    Trust me, absolutely nobody in Husky Nation thinks 15 (or even 14) is a safe place, unless it's the day after the last day of the regular season. And I wouldn't regard PC safe at #12 at this point. One bad weekend and they're back on the bubble.

                                No Harper yet again for BU with presumably lingering effects from his illness. Also no Krys. D-man Farrance playing as a forward on BU's 3rd line.
