A Brown win clinches an un-split Ivy title and the ECAC RS title for Cornell.

A tie clinches at least a split Ivy title for Cornell (depending on the outcome of Harvard@Dartmouth this Friday). I'm not sure how tiebreakers fall regarding the ECAC RS title in this case.

A Harvard win means Cornell needs Dartmouth to get at least a point on Friday to get a share of the Ivy title and needs at least a point or two in the North Country this weekend to secure the ECAC RS title.

(Yes, I'm lazy, but the tiebreakers all seem to involve Harvard and Vermont and Dartmouth and Brown and they're all playing each other this coming weekend.)

A Brown win also helps keep Brown a TUC.

Good point. And on top of that, Harvard sucks. So in summation, go Brown. (And not just down the toilet for a change.)

We win the tiebreaker with Harvard.

Regardless of the outcome of tonight's game, Cornell stays #6 in the PWR after the 3-2-1 bonus is applied. However, if Brown wins, Cornell keeps the comparison win with BC, 3-1. If Harvard wins, BC wins the comparison with Cornell 2-2 and a slightly higher RPI.

OK, I think I'm starting to see it. If Harvard finishes tied with Cornell on points, the top 4 is Cornell, Harvard, Colgate, and either Vermont or Dartmouth (the only way Brown could even theoretically sneak into the top 4 is by winning their last 3 games to tie Vermont at 26 points, and then this is moot). Head-to-head is even, second tiebreaker is record against top 4, Cornell's record vs. top 4 is 1-1-0 (Harvard) + 1-0-1 (Colgate) + either 1-1-0 (Dartmouth) or 1-0-1 (Vermont) , no worse than 3-2-1. Harvard's record vs. top 4 is 1-1-0 (Cornell) + 0-2-0 (Colgate) + whatever they wind up with against Dartmouth or Vermont, but in any event no better than 3-3-0.

Did I do that right?

Oh, god, I can see a looooooooooooooooooong thread here tonight. We care a little bit especially if Bruno can knock off the Cantabs. But mostly we're bored, bored, bored because Cornell isn't playing.

I know it wouldn't be good for their grades, but couldn't Cornell play a 49- not 29-game regular season, including tonight? With its own satellite TV channel?

Sucks 1, Brown 0

1-0 Harvard, Cavanagh from Maki and Bernakevitch.

It's Hyphen vs Apostrophe.

I'm sure it won't happen, but we can always root for both of them to get lit up tonight. Like 8-7 Brown.

Oh, look, we have our own Gametracker. It's just not showing the results we want. Thank you, gents.

The Brown radio broadcasters are terrible, terrible whiners.

The game is being played not only in Brown's end, but in D'Alba's crease.

Can't seem to get the audio, but LameTracker is showing SOG to be 12-3 Sucks. Is it really that one-sided?

Wah wah wah

My God, you're not kidding. Awful.

"You're only allowed one shot" on a delay penalty, according to the Brown announcers.

Did you hear them whining about the fact that Sucks has so many assists?

Don't the referees make that decision?

If they do, that has got to be pretty hard to figure out. I ref intramurals here, and we have to tell the goal scorer, but that is easy to figure out. I don't think I would be able to tell you assists after a goal though.

Alright, that's it. Hang these guys. I can't listen to this crap anymore. "No question Welch is the best defenseman in the ECAC this year. It's a foregone conclusion that he'll win best defensive defenseman."

Brown with a couple of good rushes, and Les Haggett misses and open net in the final minute. Period over, 1-0, with the Brown announcers creaming themselves over Harvard.

Hyphen a Hobey Baker candidate?

and these are the brown commentators....

I've gone over to the Hahvahd announcers. They can't be worse. Can they?

Harvard 2-zip.

That's not that crazy, especially if you consider McKee to be a hobey candidate. Hyphen has a better SV% (.947, i believe), and a very respectable GAA (around 1.6)

I watch him and I think, "God is he lucky he's got this good defense in front of him, or he'd be doomed by his bad rebound control."
