NCHC Race

By my calculations using the Sioux Sports "what if" calculator, UND needs 3 more points to clinch home ice for the conference tournament.  That seems crazy to think.  Anyone want to check my work?

crazy to think is Duluth right now goes on road for NCHC, but would be a #1 seed for NCAA.

Looking at remaining schedules, I think I agree with you.

Crazy to think people doubted/hoped the NCHC would fail. To be fair, nobody could have guessed it would be this dominate.

This year averaged with last year, makes the NCHC average.  2014 barely 3 teams + 2015 lets say 5 teams for sure =4 teams a year.  I think that is what people expected was 3-4 teams every year.  That is what I thought.  It is nice that is half our league though.

It is a rare year for this many power teams to be this far down.  Who saw this happening in Wisco.?  Or CC for a counter point?

Here we are with just one weekend to go in the regular season. I wondered how the league standings would compare on a 2 points for a win and one point for a tie system, compared to the current three points for a win, 2 points for a shootout win, and 1 point for a shootout loss. This is how it stacks up.

Team - NCHC System - Two Point System

UND - 47 - 32

MU - 41 - 27

UNO - 39 - 25

DU - 38 - 25

UMD - 36 - 25

SCSU - 31 - 21

WMU - 24 - 15

CC - 8 - 6

Under the two points for a win system, UND would already have clinched sole ownership of the Penrose Cup. More interestingly, UNO, DU, and UMD would all be tied for 3rd place heading into the final weekend. You could also point out that if UND had won any of the shootouts, it would have clinched sole ownership of the Penrose Cup at this point under the current system. I think the three way tie for third under the old system would add quite a bit more excitement to the race.

Good stuff, really interesting especially bc last year I don't believe the format affected standings at all in the NCHC .

Very interesting, thanks for putting that together.

I'd put out my idea for a 5 points per game here:

Under that system the current standings would be:

The 5PPG System:

Regulation win - 5

Overtime win - 4

Shootout win - 3

Shootout loss - 2

Overtime loss - 1

Regulation loss - 0
