Guess who is the best hockey conference?
Keep digging - you'll reach bottom soon.
As long as we keep scoring 6 to 8 goals a game... I like an aggressive goalie, but on the Wisconsin goals on Saturday, Lavigne was often well out challenging a shooter only to get caught by a rebound he couldn't control, a deflection, or a Joe Louis bounce.
Okay, I'm an idiot. Wrong thread.
should have secured a tournament bid. Nice to see the program getting back to where it belongs.
#7 is a little misleading -- it's by one ten-thousandth of a point in the RPI. It's probably best to think of it as a virtual tie for 8th. Still, considering where this program has been recently, quibbling over 7th or 8th is a good feeling. :)

Twenty years before that, it was, "There's no points for second place" and "the plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room."
That's what I meant. :) 7th, 8th... numbers are hard :blush:
And, yes, I'd rather Michigan be 0.0001 ahead than 0.0001 behind. But they're subject to flip because of some random result in the Hockey East tournament or something -- that was my point (we're in agreement).
I don't know how much of a difference there is between being #7 and #8 for seeding purposes, but I do know that this is just one more reason (not that anyone needs one) to cheer for Michigan to upset OSU this weekend in Columbus.
