Florence SchellingHOST
I'm just going to make sure I don't forget anything.
Florence SchellingHOST
So the conferences WCHA, ECAC, Hockey East, Atlantic Hockey America, and New England Women's Hockey Alliance.
Florence SchellingHOST
So amongst those five conferences, whoever wins your conference gets an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Florence SchellingHOST
And for the NCAA tournament, when I played, Buckles, when you played, there was only eight teams.

Katrina LiuHOST
Welcome back to Boarding School, an NCAA D1 hockey podcast presented by Offside News, where we discuss and analyze the latest news in college hockey, mixing facts and flares, statistics and narratives, and everything in between, all with the emphasis on fun.
Katrina LiuHOST
While expertise lies in the Men's Hockey East Conference, specifically Boston University, we dabble everywhere and just love college hockey, and we also just love talking, whether it's about college hockey or not.
Katrina LiuHOST
For example, I'm your host, Katrina.
Katrina LiuHOST
My other co-host is Michelle.
Nathan StraussHOST
Yeah, in a weird way, you know, I think about what happened the second half of last year, and I know it's a totally different group, and so it should be a clean slate.
Nathan StraussHOST
But I believe UMass lost four games in the final, in the second half of last year, all the way through the NCAA tournament, or rather, all the way through the Hockey East semifinal.
Nathan StraussHOST
In those four losses, I believe Michael Probble allowed five total goals in those four losses, which means there was a 1-0 shutout to BU, obviously the 2-0 with an empty net for Merrimack.
Nathan StraussHOST
I think the consistency is what needs to come next because UMass is averaging 2.6 goals a game right now, but it's been 4.5 goals in those wins and then 0.75 in those losses.

Jay BurnhamHOST
Jack Musa then scores again.
Jay BurnhamHOST
So he's into the goal column, back-to-back games with a goal.
Jay BurnhamHOST
Leads hockey Eastern points, 12 points.
Jay BurnhamHOST
The big factor has been Gavin Cornforth.
Mike McMahonHOST
They weren't going to go 33-1.
Mike McMahonHOST
The idea should just be get points in every game you play, and you're going to find that you're going to be in a pretty good spot, I think, at the end of the year, both NPI-wise and Hockey East-wise.
Mike McMahonHOST
That's the other thing.
Mike McMahonHOST
They're like the fourth-ranked team in the NPI in Hockey East right now.
Mike McMahonHOST
Vermont's ahead of them.
Mike McMahonHOST
I'm sorry.
Mike McMahonHOST
That's not going to last.
Mike McMahonHOST
I just don't see that lasting.
Scott StrandeHOST
You're
Tom HardenHOST
from Hockey East.
Scott StrandeHOST
Yeah.
Scott StrandeHOST
Yeah.

Paul HornsteinHOST
True.
Paul HornsteinHOST
True.
Paul HornsteinHOST
Um, I think it, uh, there's a very curious series in hockey East with at least on Thursday with Yukon Providence.
Paul HornsteinHOST
Uh, let me see if it's a Thursday, Saturday series.
Jim ConnellyHOST
They voted with their wallets.
Jim ConnellyHOST
And, you know, I think that when Hockey East...
Jim ConnellyHOST
Started doing the Frozen Fenway with the Red Sox every other year.
Jim ConnellyHOST
It became too much.
Michael FelgerHOST
And it's great.
Michael FelgerHOST
It's the last thing I would have expected from a 19-year-old kid out of Hockey East.
Michael FelgerHOST
Never mind a 19-year-old kid out of Boston College.
Michael FelgerHOST
where, as our former boss said back when you could be chauvinist, so don't pick at me, but this was a former editor at the Herald back in the days when you could say things like this, would say the Boston College hockey player, Craig Janney, name it, skates like Dorothy Hamill, hits like him too.
Mike McMahonHOST
Vermont's ahead of them in the NPI right now, and Maine's ahead of them in the NPI right now, and I don't think that both those teams will finish ahead of them in the NPI.
Mike McMahonHOST
So if they're the third best Hockey East team in the NPI at the end of the year, which I think they could be, maybe UMass, you know, if UMass gets cooking, and I think they could, they might be that third team.
Mike McMahonHOST
They'll be in that mix, I think.
Mike McMahonHOST
I think they will be the third or fourth best team in the NPI in Hockey East this year.
Mike McMahonHOST
And that should be enough to get them at least in that bubble conversation.
Mike McMahonHOST
But I...
Jayson HajduHOST
Great start for Dartmouth and a great start for Boston University.
Jayson HajduHOST
They've won four of their last five Hockey East games after sweeping Maine, and it's probably a good thing they're banking some wins now because we were talking off air about the schedule ahead in November for BU, and it's a beast.
Jayson HajduHOST
But the Terriers, 6-2 so far.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
And I think the bigger thing is it feels like they're getting better.

Every time I've watched Tyne and Lawrence has been their best player.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
