Out of Town Scores: Game 2

QU 4 RPI 2 Final

Brown 3 SLU 2 Final

Princeton 0 Clarkson 5 Final

Yale 3 Union 2 5ot



Man, I dont want to have to play clarkson, it looks like their on fire.

Mike K
Thought I'd start the thread. Who should we be cheering for tonight. Clarkson became a tuc which hurt us so we would want them to lose. What about the other games, would any team winning help us out?

Ill post scores once games start.

We do want Clarkson to lose because of that, you're right. Their RPI is very close to .500 and I have to imagine it could drop below the magic number with a loss or two.

RPI is at .4864, which would seem to be low enough, but you never know. Union is at .4826.

Niagara sits at .4919, but I'm not sure they (and their two losses to Cornell) will be able to make it to TUC status without winning the CHA tournament. Still, root for them because it helps Cornell's RPI.

Cornell loses the comparison with North Dakota based on a narrow margin in RPI. Root against them. (The same thing is true about Denver, but they don't play tonight.)

Cornell loses the comparison with Nebraska-Omaha based on a narrow margin in record against TUCs, but UNO plays Bowling Green (not close to being a TUC tonight). Root against UNO in the later rounds of the CCHA tournament.

With bonuses added, Harvard is ahead of Cornell in the PWR (despite their enormous suckitude). Root against them (as if I needed to tell any of you that).

RPI 1 QU 0 after 41 seconds.

brown 2-0 early in the 1st....wow

Mike K
brown 2-0 early in the 1st....wow

Supposedly on their first two shots, too.

Deerticks tie it up 1-1.

Clarkson takes the lead 1-0 off a Cayer goal.

According to the Clarkson feed, Yale and Union are tied at 1.

Bobcats score a 5x3 goal to lead 2-1. A decent QU crowd up in Troy.

In a game with no obvious effect on our PWR, UCONN and Sacred Heart are tied at 1 midway through the 1st. There are some local and Cornell ties. It is Senior night at UCONN and the last home game for UCONN co-captain and Ithaca High graduate Chris Uber. Sacred Heart is coached by Shaun Hannah, Cornell 1994. And because it is SENIOR NIGHT, the game is being broadcast on WHUS (internet streaming!). Apparently the UCONN band is feeling good after the Men's basketball team won at least a share of the Big East Title, that they are at the hockey game too.

Whoa, QU 3 RPI 1.

After 1 period, UCONN and Sacred Heart now tied 2-2.

Sacred Heart is currently at the top of the AHA, so I guess if they do win the AHA tourney and get the auto-bid, they could *possibly* play a role in Cornell getting sent to ND, right?

Feeling pessimistic in Indiana

According to the Clarkson feed, Yale and Union are tied at 1.

I was mistaken. At the end of the 1st, Union leads Yale 1-0.

stolen from the post by min in the thread from last night:

"Here's another way of determining Cornell's next opponent:

Exactly 0 upsets (all higher seeds advance)
Union

Exactly 1 upset
Union (if Princeton or QU wins)
RPI (if Yale or Brown wins)

Exactly 2 upsets
Union (if both Princeton and QU win)
RPI (if Princeton and Yale OR Princeton and Brown win)
Clarkson (if QU and Brown OR QU and Yale OR Yale and Brown win)

Exactly 3 upsets
QU (if QU, Brown and Yale win)
Princeton (all other three combinations)

Exactly 4 upsets (no higher seeds advance)
QU


In sum, in terms of percentage of becoming Cornell's next rival (if I'm not mistaken):
Union (25%)
RPI (25%)
Clarkson (18.75%)
Princeton (18.75%)
Quinnipiac (12.5%)"

From USCHO forums, Yale has tied it a 1-1.

Tech up 2-zip.

Tech up 3-zip...

In the 2nd period, UCONN goes up 3-2 on a ppg by Chris Uber.

[soapbox on]
The UCONN band is playing "Brass Bonanza" when the huskies come on the ice and after goals. That tune should *only* be played in reference to the deceased New England/Hartford Whalers (no, I do not recognize the Carolina Hurricanes as the "former Hartford Whalers".
According to the announcers, the UCONN band only shows up at hockey games once a year, so I guess they really don't have much "hockey music".
[Soapbox off]

They play it at UConn hoops games too...

Chris '03
They play it at UConn hoops games too...

Oh dear. I must have missed that because I was sooo incensed that the UCONN band was playing "Sweet Caroline" in last week's Villanova game. I have only been tuning in to UCONN hoops the past few weeks. Unfortunately, it isn't something I have time to track regularly.

3-2 Q.

As a long lost Whalers fan, I have to say, if any team wants to take on brass bonanza as the banner of Connecticut hockey, I can't object to it being UConn.

4-0 Clarkson after 2.

At the end of 2 periods, UCONN-Sacred Heart tied at 3.

Brown just scored... 3-2 brown over slu in the third

union ties it in the 3rd

Clarkson is who we want in my opinion. This is the playoffs and the more battles the better. I would rather see a team that they are going to have to be at the top of their game for the entire weekend. Cornell has played their best hockey this season playing against tough teams and rarely did they decisively beat the lower tier teams.

Finals:

Qpc 4 RPI 2
Brn 3 SLU 2
Clk 5 Prn 0

Yal-UC 1-1 in third

Brown wins 3-2 and lives to fight another day.

Quinnipiac wins 4-2 and sweeps their first ECAC playoff series.

Clarkson ends Princeton's season 5-0.

Yale and Union tied at 2 with a few minutes left in the 3rd.

Union and Yale going to OT... again. Union's 5th straight playoff game that has gone to OT apparently.

UCONN defeats Sacred Heart 4-3. I'm glad Chris Uber got a goal and had a good game tonight. UCONN is waiting for results from other games and will be seeded somewhere between 6-8 in the AHA playoffs. Sacred Heart has a chance of finishing first, depending on what Holy Cross does. IIRC, the AHA quarterfinals are just one game and not the best of 3.

Also, I was surprised to hear that the UCONN men's hockey team does NOT give out athletic scholarships. The women's hockey team does, but that is probably to be Title IX compliant. UCONN recently brought their football team to D-1A so I wonder what other men's athletic teams also had scholarships reduced or eliminated.

Yup, all three against Clarkson went to OT last year. I was actually at those games and it was a really great series.

The one they won was their first (PS) win for some time, correct?

Believe so.

12:42 left in Yale/Union OT.

What's the format these days? Unlimited number of 20-minute sudden death overtimes? I'm guessing since they're playing at least one 20 minute OT, it's not a "first team to three points" kind of series, right?

Right. That was deep-sixed a few years ago.

6:24 left in Yale/Union overtime. Listening to the Yale feed....seems like both teams have had decent rushes/shots.

think i did this correctly

1 Dartmouth
2 Colgate
3 cornell
4 SUCKS
5 slu(t)
6. onion
7. rip
8. clarkson
9. PU
10. q
11. yale
12. brown


5 slu vs 12 brown
6. onion v 11 yale
7 rip v 10 Q
8 clarkson 9 PU

ok so right now we have

1 dartmouth
2 gate
3 cornell
4 sucks

5. slu or 12 brown
6 onion or 11 yale

8 clarkson
10 Q

see what happens:
assuming SLU wins tomorrow AND
IF onion wins tonight and tomorrow
1 dartmouth v 10 q
2 gate vs 8 clarkson
3 cornell vs 6 onion
4. sucks vs 5 slu
IF onion lose tonight or tomorrow (yale wins) we get
1 dartmouth v 11 yale
2 gate vs 10 q
3 cornell vs 8 clarkson
4. sucks vs 5 slu

assuming brown wins tomorrow AND
IF onion wins tonight and tomorrow we get
1 dartmouth v 12 brown
2 gate vs 10 q
3 cornell vs 8 clarkson
4. sucks vs 6 onion
IF yale wins one more game we get
1 dartmouth v 12 brown
2 gate vs 11 yale
3 cornell vs 10 q
4. sucks vs 8 clarkson

First OT over at Union...Mayotte with some big saves in the last minute.

Going into the second OT in Schenectady. Longest game in the history of D-1 Yale. (announcers talking about a longer game they had as D-2 )

If anyone wants to listen to the Yale-Union game, here's the URL to the Yale feed:

The Union feed, which was listed here in the message with all the game links, is maxed out at 64, and has been for some time. The Yale feed seems to be working just fine.

64 people listening to WRUC and my stream keeps rebuffering every 5 secs. I'm at home on a modem with itunes. The Clarkson feed didn't do this last night (which was also itunes and from home).

Elliot, are you listening locally on the radio or online?

Assuming that's me, I'm listening online. No problems.

The Yale announcers say the crowd has "thinned out." What kind of fan could possibly leave a tied playoff game? Sheeeeeesh!
Andy W.

St. Lawrence outshoots Brown 56-13 and loses 3-2. D'Alba seems to be warming up. Friday night in SLU's 3-2 OT win Brown was outshot 54-27. Odds still don't favor Brown, but what an amazing job in goal the first two nights.

Wonder if everyone's favorite oversized Union frat boy is still there...

The WRUC site says its for high speed internet, so I guess my and my modem are just going to suffer through the rebuffering.

I assume you mean longest game in Union history, or were they playing 10 min overtimes when we beat Yale in the '86 semis?

The announcers were definitely talking about Yale. I'm sure they could be mistaken, though.

Yale was never D-2.

Long way to go for the longest ECAC playoff game. Colgate beat Dartmouth in game 1 of their QF in 2003 in (4ot).

thought onion was gonna end it there...nope

Apparently the Yale team had an 11:00 curfew last night...

Do we at least get an intermission between OTs? I drank a lot of tea tonight.

Beeeej

Coupla great saves by Mayotte.

I'm depending on an intermission so I can catch the end of UNC (beating) Duke.

Beeeej

Yes, there are 15-minute intermissions between all 20-minute periods.

3rd OT after this intermission that just started

Triple OT coming up.
For the 5th period intermission discussion, are we dedication, fanatical college hockey fans, or um, are our social lives lacking something. Also, we will need suggestions on what to do with Friday/Saturday nights come April.

Game on. May the best 40% winning percentage team win.

union pp coming up

Union PP coming up at 2:49 into the third OT.

Beeeej

yale to the penalty box

well some of us are doing work while we listen

Richards a huge save to rob UC. Dutch pp continues.

Alec Richards with a ridiculous save. I am always amused that eLynah has information on out-of-town scores sooner than official college hockey sites. Thanks to whoever posted the radio feed, listening to this game is amazing.

Mike K
Man, I dont want to have to play clarkson, it looks like their on fire.

Whose on fire?

Union penalty coming up to even things out for a while after only 23 seconds.

Beeeej

and onion continues to show why they have never won a playoff series in D1 -> interference call to end their pp after almost winning the game

as the pp began, union had a very good sh chance. a bit later yale takes a penalty to negate their pp.

How is this game still going on?

43 saves and counting for Mayotte...

wow
this is insane
richards is standing on his head, at least it sounds that way

Richards with 47 saves as of now, Mayotte with 43. Each team seems to be getting grade A chances, but the goaltenders are just stoning them cold.

Getting chippy, punches thrown... 5:22 left in 3OT.

2 players from both teams find their way to the box, matching minors all around. Sounds like one of the players is getting another on top of that.

EDIT: Union going on the PP. Crowd seems to be chanting "kick him out."

i am going to wake up in the AM and they will still be playing lol

Just lost Yale audio.

Beeeej

Me too, but back now.

Yup, back here, too.

Beeeej

Yale audio on my machine is doing a lot of skipping and repeating...

Yale pp?!

Five minute????!!!!

ouch - 5 minute major on onion!

Yale audio go into slow-motion and then just go away for any of you?

This penalty is probably deciding the game. Hopefully it's over within the hour...

big 5 minute pp...this is a huge chance.

A player from union gets called on a 5 min (boarding?) major. 21 sec in the 3 OT, Okay Yale, you are being handed this game. I think Yale is 0-9? thus far.

does anyone have the url of the stream? i can't find it on their website...
