    Re: Minnesota Golden Gophers Season Thread 2017-18 Part II

    Games to watch:

    Atlantic Hockey – Robert Morris vs Air Force
    ECAC – Princeton vs Clarkson
    Hockey East – Boston University vs Providence
    WCHA – Northern Michigan vs Michigan Tech

    From Jim Dahl's analysis:

    If Clarkson and Providence (both favored) win there will be three slots remaining. Minnesota and Minnesota Duluth each get one and North Dakota and Boston College will be vying for the final slot. UND gets it with a win or a tie with UMD in the NCHC consolation game; if UND loses and NMU wins, UND is out. If UND loses, they can still get in if MTU beats NMU.

    If just one of Boston University or Princeton win, there will be two spots remaining and Minnesota and Minnesota Duluth will get them and North Dakota and Boston College will be left out.

    If both of Boston University and Princeton win, there will only be one slot remaining. Again, North Dakota and Boston College will be out, but only one of Minnesota or Minnesota Duluth will be selected. To get the upper hand, Minnesota needs UND and any of SCSU, NMU, OSU, or RMU to win.

        LOL, everything is falling into place to deny the Gophs.

        Can we start the 2018-19 season thread yet?

          Gophers now need Ohio State to win. They just went into overtime with Notre Dame.

            Thank you, Coach Lucia.

            -Two national championships
            -Four WCHA regular season championships
            -Three WCHA Final Five championships
            -Four Big Ten regular season championships
            -One Big Ten playoff championship

            It was a good run.

                0.0001 is well within the margin of fu_kery. Probably out but there’s still a remote chance money prevails tomorrow.

                  Give me one example of the committee deviating from the PWR for the selection of at-large births.

                  The PWR is the PWR. The only thing the committee will play around with is seeds within a band to maximize attendance and minimize travel.

                    Especially given the head-to-head result. If the Gophers were that close to Clarkson, maybe. But not UMD

                      In either case no.
                      There is zero precedent for deviation. It's exactly why they started using the PWR in the first place.

                        Just one win out of their last four games vs. PSU....
                        Then only needed one of six teams to win tonight...
                        Guess it wasn't meant to be....
                        Sad, but after such a long layoff, and having to face a No. 1 seed in whatever regional...
                        The decision on Lucia, whatever it turns out to be, probably wouldn't be any different.

                            MN ain't dancing, so stop with that.

                            I am so beyond pi*ed.

                            I'll just summarize my feelings as such: **** ****** ***hole ****sucker mother****** and a few other choice words.
                            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                                Or in other words, "this is how the tournament field is determined."
                                The whole point of the move to a ranking system was to eliminate the "smoke filled room" and in turn create an entirely transparent process.

                                Like I said, give me one example.
