More on the PWR

I had the opportunity to watch #2 Boston College skate over #5 Vermont on Friday Night. BC was all over Vermont right from the start, and just dominated pretty much all but the last 5-10 minutes of the game. This did not appear to be the same UVM squad that shutout the Knights during the Holiday Tournament.

SLU had a horrible weekend PWR wise. Vermont was swept by BC, Wisconsin was swept by Denver, and then SLU themselves got swept by the pair of Colgate and Cornell. It looks like they've dropped to the bubble in terms of the PWR entering this weeks play.

While it's a little too early to be scoreboard watching, I wonder how much PWR comes into play in terms of a coach motivating his players as opposed to league standing. I'm sure they'll tell you they don't pay attention to this stuff, but I'm sure they do. A Clarkson sweep this weekend could be a blow to any chance of a SLU at-large bid.
