OK, OK hold the cheers. All my wishes came true. What do you think about next weekend? Here's my choices.
RPI @ Union
Dartmouth @ Cornell
Yale @ Harvard
Quinnipiac @ Colgate
And thanks to snert1288 and gatefan for the info on the broadcasts. Watching tonight was fun.
And how could you all not crap on me when I labeled the other thread as Quarterfinal Choices?

Flip Qpac and Colgate. Colgate may be close enough to the TUC cliff that if they get swept they may fall off.Jim Hyla

1-Union vs 10-RPI
2-Cornell vs 9-Dartmouth
3-Harvard vs 6-Yale
4-Colgate vs 5-Quinnipiac
The most delicious weekend in Atlantic City would be for the top 3 or top 4 seeds to advance in the QFs, Cornell to have the late game Friday, take down Harvard, and then beat Union Saturday for the title. Union deserves at shot at the NCAAs and might be good enough to advance past the first round of NCAAs.
When hosting the QF, Cornell has failed to advance to Lake Placid/Albany/AC how many times in addition to the painful Clarkson series? I can't see Union or Cornell not taking 2 of 3 at home from 9/10 seeds. Harvard seems the weakest host team in the QFs.

Yale in 3
Quinnipiac in 3
Unfortunately, this means we have to face RPI at 4pm on Friday at Atlantic City.

The only other such instance is the 2007 loss to Quinnipiac. Prior to the final weekend moving to LP, Cornell lost home quarterfinals in 1988 (split two games with Clarkson, lost mini-game) and 1978 (lost single-game quarterfinal to Providence).

RPI @ Union
Dartmouth @ Cornell
Yale @ Harvard
Quinnipiac @ Colgate
I don't want RPI to win because that would mean we would face them in the semi-final, something we obviously don't want. Additionally, I'd like to see Colgate get knocked out, plus we match-up well with Quinnipiac (another plus is a QU sweep may cost Colgate its TUC status). As for Yale and Harvard, I don't really care all that much. However, Yale winning and becoming a TUC would help us, and any scenario where Harvard loses is good.

Since it seems to be ok to discuss PWR potentials, UMass is hanging on by a thread. If they lose their next game they should fall out of TUC, in which case Colgate dropping out would bring us to 5-1-3 against TUC. A great record, but below 10 games so we would need another game against Union, Harvard, or Quinnipiac (or Yale maybe?). Should be an interesting next few weeks.

And UMass is playing BC in the first round. They'll be dropping out after this coming weekend.

If the RPI phobia is because they have good goaltending and are therefore dangerous in a 1-game series, I understand it. In my opinion we outplayed them in 4 periods out of 6 and lost the season series on a deflection. As I said on a different thread,only once in 12 years have we not gotten a W from them in a season. They are playing with house money now and are grateful to get out of the first round, and if they lose game 1 they're cooked. I agree with those who think they CAN beat Union in the QF series, but I think chances of that are about 30%.

RPI-Union
Yale-Harvard
Quinnipiac-Colgate
These are probably more along the lines of wishful thinking than pure logic. Selfishly, I want a chance at a Harvard-Cornell game in Atlantic City (considering that I am going to be there). I have been to many Cornell-Harvard games but I have not been to one in the ECAC Championship series. I missed (thankfully?) seeing the 2008 ECAC Championship Semifinal contest between Cornell and Harvard during my first year on the Hill.

And how could you all not crap on me when I labeled the other thread as Quarterfinal Choices?
I took "Quarterfinal Choices" to mean "who would you like to play in the Quarterfinals," so it made sense to me. What we're doing here, I usually call these "picks" or "predictions," instead of "choices," but that's just me.

All sports? Oh, you mean basketball. Then, there's the hard-hitting coverage of basketball. Don't forget basketball. For variety, they'll throw in a report on Tiger Woods and that sport that Tiger Woods plays before your college hoops rundown. Then they'll talk about the NFL Draft for a minute before showing you the much anticipated Top 10 Dunks and finally closing the show with "Something LeBron Did."

Don't forget Tim Tebow, and the crack criminal investigation and criminal defense coverage teams they have to cover child abuse allegations at universities. They focus on what they are clearly qualified to discuss. Sports journalistic standards, you know.

Erin Andrews is ESPN's top sideline "reporter" (I use that term loosely). She only covers sports that ESPN cares about (so not college hockey).

Erin is actually really good at hockey. She was the by the bench reporter for the Tampa Bay Lightning's first round playoff series in 2004 (ESPN's last year) and really knew her stuff and could interview people with good questions without a script. The ESPN brass was impressed and kept advancing her to subsequent playoff series, all the way through to the Lightning winning the Cup. Then ESPN dropped hockey, Erin moved to college football and the rest is history.billhoward

Here's Ken Schott's choices:
RPI (No. 10) at Union (No. 1) — Union wins series in 3 by scores of 2-3, 4-2 and 5-2.
Quinnipiac (No. 5) at Colgate (No. 4) — Quinnipiac wins in 3 by scores of, 3-1, 2-5 and 3-2.
Yale (No. 6) at Harvard (No. 3) — Yale wins in 3 by scores of 4-1, 1-2 and 5-3.
Dartmouth (No. 9) at Cornell (No. 2) — Cornell wins in 2 by scores of 3
CHN picks all higher seeds in 3.
USCHO picks:
Union in 3. ( 4-2, 1-2 (OT), 4-1).
Cornell in 2. (4-1, 6-2)
Yale in 3 (4-2, 3-4, 5-4 (OT)
Colgate in 3 (3-1, 3-4, 5-3).
INCH doesn't pick, but here's their analysis.
Why do these analysts try to pick scores? Nobody does that in anything other than football, and that's simply forgamblingentertainment purposes.
For fun?
Our score predictions concern me a little. 3 to undefined?
Maybe Schott thinks Iles will go on a Scrivens-esque shutout playoff run like the 2010 ECAC Tournament.

Why not? Sports is entertainment (viz Erin Andrews). It's another way of saying it's going to be a high- or low-scoring game. If the writer picks the score right, he looks smart. The only thing easier would be to say a Europe soccer score will be one-nil or 2-1. Against Dartmouth, a 4-1 score sounds about right: 3 goal margin, we somehow manage to not get a shutout (man short? against? deflects off defender?).Jordan 04

Do we really have the easiest path to Atlantic City? MOre people are picking Cornell in 2 but not Union.

Since 20 Jan RPI is 8-5-2. Union hammered them 3 times but all of those games were prior to that run. The Engineers are perceived as more dangerous than Dartmouth; that's why fewer people are picking Union to sweep.billhoward

As for us, who knows? Nothing is impossible and nothing is easy for this team.

Let's not forget that Cornell won late at Thompson, Dartmouth took them to OT at Lynah, and their coach has a history of making sure his teams "get physical" to use a nice euphemism. I'm not expecting a cakewalk. And I really hope our skaters don't take the bait when it does turn rough.

The secret to playing any Bob Gaudet team, all the way back to his Brown days, is not to get frustrated and take the retaliation penalty. The way to punish them for all the late hits and cheap shots and general cheese is to put the puck in the net.RichH

My bad. I didn't copy correctly. His scores are: Cornell wins in 2 by scores of 3-1 and 1-0.

Because you look like a genius if you get it right, but if you get it wrong you can just say "Well the odds weren't in my favor. Of course I got it wrong."
