The current point totals:

RIT 51
Sacred Heart 44
AIC 42
HC 37
Canisius 35
Army 35
Niagara 34
Mercyhurst 33

Bentley and Air Force are eliminated already.

We have Friday and Saturday night games with Canisius. By my calculations, we could finish as high as third (we win two in regulation and AIC loses two in regulation to Sacred Heart) or as low as seventh (we lose two in regulation giving Canisisus six points, while Army gets at least three points against Bentley, and the Niagara vs. Mercyhurst series ends up one of those teams getting four points.) There are obviously a bunch of scenarios in between.

The first tie breaker is head to head competition. The second is conference wins. Our records against the relevant teams

AIC--We went 1-1 They have 13 conference wins to our 12.
Canisius--We play them for the first time this weekend. They have 11 conference wins currently
Army--We are 1-1 They have 11 conference wins
Niagara--We are 2-0 against them
Mercyhurst--We went 0-2.

Hopefully we just win out and have control over our destiny.

Seems to me that the most stress free way to earning a top four seed this weekend is winning tonight in regulation and Army losing to Bentley in regulation. Regardless of what happens on Saturday, we can do no worse than fourth.

EDIT: An Army loss in OT would also do the trick.

And we just might be able to get to the NCAA tournament out of the league. Not too shabby.

And that we drew flies. Is spring break starting this weekend? I know it sometimes begins in late Feb or first week of March.

Thinking of bringing my daughter up tonight, we'll see. Ill put it at 30% I make the round trip and let her fall asleep in car on way home.

Agree, crowd was disappointing

(Army finished the regular season with 39 points after losing in OT to Bentley)

This would be a bit of a collapse. We had a chance to host Army and now will be traveling to either AIC or SHU.

Better than Rochester. Not as good as the Hart Center.

I think there is a potential to upset AIC. That being said, I have a sneaky feeling AIC wasn't 'up' or underestimated HC in their first meeting of the season (mid-week in Springfield). I think it is certainly a possibility of an upset but AIC has AHA and NCAA playoff experience so I think they'll be prepared this time around.
