Re: Boston University season thread 4: Where BC comes to talk hockey
I have a hard time not seeing them getting out of that region. QU is stumbling in having been pummeled by Brown, barely squeaking by Cornell, and losing to Harvard in the last couple of weeks of the year. I've never really felt their profile was all that great this season, especially with their losses being so bad, and not really racking up and solid wins over quality teams. They remind me a bit of Gonzaga's team this year, inflated record from medicore at best competition. And I don't put it past them to choke and lose to Canisius, who would have a snowball's chance in hell against BC. I've not seen Union so hey, maybe they could, but so long as York is on the bench, to me, the talent level disparity is just too much, and especially for three teams who have not faced BC, aren't used to how they play, it's just too hard to adjust. It seems every March I watch their tournament games on TV against these chumps who are facing them for the first time, and I'll end up calling a goal 30 seconds before it happens because you can see the opposition falling into their traps, especially when BC is shorthanded. Maybe injuries will derail them or Milner will have a bad game or two, but I'm just not convinced these teams can adjust to the SH pressure they put on you and defend their forwards having never skated against them.
Re: math v. smoke-filled room, perhaps there should be some marginal room for the committee to make adjustments if they see fit, but that opens up pandora's box a bit. it probably should be one or the other. That said, if it was a smoke-filled room system, we'd probably be in, and Niagara almost certainly would be out, they're 21 in KRACH and 10 in PWR, eek. Oh well, we dug our own hole in January and February.
