  • All the potential placings that can happen in the WCHA standings

    I just spent some time trying to figure out which places every team in the WCHA can finish in the regular season standings (for purposes of playoff seedings).

    If anyone is interested:



    Also, if you notice any placings that aren't correct, please let me know. Everything is so tight right now in the WCHA that I very easily could've messed some things up.

    Minnesota State can finish in 1st.

      The most points MSU can get is 35. The least points SCSU can get is also 35. However, SCSU owns the tiebreaker over MSU by going 2-0-0 against them this season.

        I missed one. Minnesota can finish 7th, though it's incredibly unlikely.

          Tie breakers are merely for playoff seeding. The MacNaughton is shared between teams tied in points.

            Okay, thanks. I guess when I created this, I did it for my blog for the intention of playoff seeding, not the MacNaughton Cup. I guess I didn't realize that was an important distinction to make when posting it here.

              MTU can finish 11th. UMD can finish 10th or 11th.

              I think this is supposed to just be about seeding. MSUM can get a share of the MacNaughton but I don't think they can finish as the one-seed (don't figure they can since they'd lose a UW-SCSU-MSU-M 3-way tie and a 4-way tie with MN mixed in).
              tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

                Crap, I'm really messed up with 8th-11th.

                    Thanks! Where were you a couple hours ago when I was making this table? Haha, but at least now I can verify if it's correct.

                      That site shows that Denver can take third. How?

                      If Denver wins out, they'd have 33 points. Denver could not beat St. Cloud.

                      If North Dakota would lose out, Denver would lose the tiebreaker.

                      If Minnesota would lose out, they would be tied in at 33 points. They would be tied in the head-to-head and tied in conference wins. The four-game series tiebreaker would not apply. Thus, the winning margin tiebreaker would be used. Minnesota currently sits at a +24, while Denver is even. So I suppose technically, Denver could still beat Minnesota, but let's be realistic.

                        This is also the only way Minnesota can drop as low as 7th would be Denver getting their goal differential up by more than 20 points this weekend with MN getting swept. Theoretically possible? Yes. But, like you say, let's be realistic.

                          DU is playing UAA, lets not rule a 24 goal weekend. :-)

                          And if Minnesota lost twice they'd only need to get 22, maybe less.

                          Great opportunity for Gwozdecky to open up the offense and see what the boyz can do.

                          Would be funny to see DU win 12 zip on Friday and then leading 9-1 on Sunday, pull the goalie with five minutes to play to try and get two goals.

                            that would probably get Shyiak fired.......

                            The Herb Brooks National Hockey Center..... I wonder who originally came up with that.
