Does any one know what Makars plus minus rating was this year ? He seemed to take a lot of costly penalties . if a player is in the penalty box does it go against his plus / minus numbers ? Though I must admit he did play good in the hockey east playoffs and the NCAA tournament. But throughout the ...

I’m surprised about Makar. I’m not as surprised by Bohlinger as UMass outside of Matt Murray hasn’t really kept too many if any fifth year Covid players. On a new topic of discussion with UMass moving to the MAC I would be interested in a scheduling agreement with the four MAC schools playing D1 hoc...

*checks calendar*

Yep. That makes sense.

I have never seen play stop for a skater that pulls a muscle while skating and has a hard time getting back to the bench or was hit hard legally and struggles to get back on his feet. I’m not sure how much college hockey you watch? It happens often. For example the game UMass lost 4-1 to Merrimack ...

^In all my years of watching College Hockey, I’ve never seen a team charged a time out because of an injured player. That’s football. Edit- UMass played well. Sucks they lost but they lost. It’s not because of the Denver goalie getting hurt or the refs allowing time for him to recover they lost. The...

Does anyone have a clue as to how Pairwise is calculated? Also in RPI, home wins and road losses count as 0.8 wins/losses. Road wins and home losses count as 1.2 wins/losses. This is to incentivize teams playing OOC on the road as you get more credit for a road win, less credit for a home win, more...

I also just got an email from UMass with tickets still available. They appear to be in the corner behind one goal (not the one I bought a ticket behind but oh well).

BU got a bit hosed, playing in Sioux Falls. Denver fans already crying about playing on our home turf. Oh well. Let's go! :D Nothing else the committee could do for BU. Weren’t gonna ship the number 1 seed BC out west. BU can’t play UMass in the first round as they’re both hockey East, and UMass is...

^ …and both have beaten UMass this season. I read that Michigan State will be the fourth team. Will UMass play at 2 or 5….do any of you know? is session 1 for both semi final games? Yes. I bought behind one of the goals right after DU won. Just get a ticket. Usually there’s plenty of empty seats as...

UMASS IS IN!!!!!

AIC lost. Down to Denver now who is down 1-0. Need a comeback

If AIC can comeback (currently down 3-2) there’s a way to get in without DU winning. But I’m happy that UMass will still be alive during the last game of the conference finals. I think we’d have all taken that the first day of the season

^Basketball selection is fucking stupid. Very thankful hockey isn’t like that and hope it stays that way. I ran all 32 possible outcomes left through the CHN you are the committee. Assuming I didn’t make an error here’s what we got: Basically, UMass wants BC and DU to win. If that happens, 7 of 8 sc...

Season is likely over. Basically every score the last three weeks except for Sunday went the exact wrong way and that has unfortunately continued tonight. Coach Carvel often says that you get what you deserve. Don’t exactly deserve to make the NCAAs after getting destroyed in a must win game like to...

Does anyone have a clue as to how Pairwise is calculated? Yes. Basically, each division 1 school is compared to every other division 1 school based on 3 criteria: 1) RPI, 2) Head to Head Record (if they play each other), 3) Average winning percentage against common opponents (if any) Between the tw...
