The Last Weekend of Hockey East
Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2010 11:13 pm
Hard to believe it's almost tourney time and HE is as crazy as ever -3 points separate home ice from staying home and taking out the golf clubs.
Here are the matchups for the final weekend:
Friday:
UVM @ UML
UMA @ Maine
BC @ UNH -NESN
Mack @ PC
NU @ BC
Saturday:
UVM @ UML
UMA @ Maine
UNH @ BC
PC @ Mack
BU @ NU
And the standings (team, followed by points as all teams have played 25 HE games, followed by who they hold the relevant tie-breakers over)
1) UNH 35
2) BC 32 (Maine -BC cannot fall below 2)
3) Maine 28 (UML, NU, UVM)
4) UML 25 (NU, MC)
5) BU 24 (Maine, UML, MC, UMA)
5) NU 24 (Maine, BU -for now, MC, UMA)
5) UVM 24 (BU, NU)
8) MC 23 (UVM)
9) UMA 22 (UML, UVM)
10) PC 13 -Eliminated
Just a complete log jam from 4-9 (even Maine at 3 can be caught by 3 teams this weekend).
Who does BC want to avoid?
BU: They are a rival who will be playing for their lives as they will be unable to make NCAAs without winning HEs. We are the better team but we will be facing a motivated team.
UML: In the last 2 years against them we are 1-4-1. They play a trap style that frustrates our speedy forwards (and is boring as hell to watch) and they have arguably the best goalie in HE.
