Pairwise

[CTpessimist]

UConn was down 4-3 against a highly rated team. Final score 6-3 after two empty netters. I know in basketball sometimes coaches will call off fouling so final score looks better even though they still technically have a chance to come back if the cards fell the right way. In hockey, does anyone know the pairwise risk/reward of coming back vs losing 5-3 / 6-3? Does this loss look really bad now vs not so bad?

Thanks.

Scores don’t matter at all

Home losses are worse than road losses

Home wins are less valuable than road wins

Overtime wins are 2/3 of a regulation win and 1/3 of a regulation loss

Overtime losses are 2/3 of a regulation loss and 1/3 of a regulation win

Shootouts do not have any bearing

UConn currently #6 , which would put it as the 2 seed vs Minnesota (1) and Quinnipiac (3) in Fargo.

Manch: 1 BC* // 8 Denver // 8 BU // 26 SacredH*
Toledo: 2 MichSt* // 6 Prov // 11 OhioSt // 18 MinnSt*
Fargo: 3 Minn // 6 UConn // 11 Quinn* // 13 ASU*
Allntwn: 4 Maine // 5 WMU // 10 Lowell // 14 Mich


Unless, for geography reasons, they swap UConn/Quinnipiac to Manchester vs #1 BC.

There are so many tough games left, the current ranking means nothing. We finish 6th in Hockey East or bomb out of the tournament, we won't be getting a bid. Btw, based on points per games played, we are currently 6th as we've played more games than anyone else.

Yeah what are Joey Brackets, et al doing. No one should be projecting NCAA brackets based on current standings. How absurd.

If you dont like the thread, here's a nutty idea: dont read it.
