So are you going to post photos of you with a white board tracking the "evolution" of our opponent?

No, and in fact this effort won't last long if my wife comes home and wants to watch our TiVo of ANTM...

NERD!

(Thank you!!!)

Clarkson scores on a breakaway, up 1-0 on Union.

Apparently the recession is hurting the Onion students. Not as many of them as there were last week since they have to pay for tickets.

Onion ties it up at 1.

I honestly thought 90% of the Union crowd was rugrats.

Bonni wants to watch a different lame reality show, so I can stay.

Union up 2-1.

Colgate up 2-0 as Q keeps riding the pine.

Brown 0 Harvard 0, end 1.

Vermont is up 3-1 on UNH in the first. Without taking other games into account a Vermont sweep (they play again tomorrow) could knock UNH below Cornell in the PWR (from 8 to 11). Cornell would move up from 10 to 9.

RPI tied with Dartmouth, 1-1.

Either the RPI or Dartmouth band is playing "Crazy Train." It's a very, um, interesting rendition. You have to imagine all the guitar parts as horns.

now 2-2 @ onion

Clarkson gets another quick goal to go up 3-2, still early in the 2nd.

Onion ties it up at 1.

I think the Onion students are given free tickets some time on Friday if the ticket sales are at their typical low level. Though I admit this info is at least a year old and if I am wrong then the cost of tickets would be right on.

Don't blink, or you'll miss a goal. Union ties it up at 3. I didn't realize that this was a "defense optional" series.

I thought it might be an ECACHL thing... i.e. it is a playoff game in the league wants a piece of the gate. Sort of how the ECACHL makes the fans pay B2 for video during the playoffs, even if we bought our school's video packagae and they are home games.

Deer Ticks score, Gate up 2-1.

Dartmouth goes up 2-1.

Brown 0 Harvard 0, end 2

Brown leads 1-0 at Bright. Colgate becomes the projected opponent.

Q ties Gate, PO becomes Union.

RPI ties Dartmouth 2-2. Currently, no home team is ahead.

That didn't last long. Union up 4-3 on Clarkson.

RIP announcers say Onion is up by one on a Wallow(sp?) goal.

"Boileau."

Brown ahead in the third but taking penalties. This sounds familiar...

Still 1-0 Brown (hard to believe)

3:48 to go, Harvard on the PP again

Brown kills off another penalty. Cornell needs to watch the PK films.

1:48 to go.

Shots are Harvard 36, Brown 22.

Colgate and Q headed to free hockey.

Union 5-3, about 2 minutes left.

Union dangerously close to leading their series, up 5-3.

Final: Brown 1 Harvard 0 at an empty Bright.

Harry Zolnierczyk scores first goal of the season

Harry Zolnierczyk scores first goal of the season

The guy who assisted got his first career point.

Bergdorfer takes a penalty with less than two left in game at Hanover.

Now OT. Also of note RIP is using freshman York in net. Their announcers claimed he saved the game in the last minute of regulation.

Eavesdropping on USCHO. Sounds like ONE union student bought a session ticket ($15) as of Tuesday, The first 200 students get in free.

Yikes, Colgate scores but it's wiped by a penalty, so Q on pp.

It's the RPI band. They played it while we were in town. I remember not knowing what song it was until at least halfway through, then having to convince the people I was sitting with that it was Crazy Train.

Q wins in OT

Brandon Wang Wong scores in over time. Quinnipiac must be really glad he is back, but is his knee healthy?

Quinnipiac's Bryan Leitch (11, 42 ,53) took a 10 minute penalty for slashing the goalie after the whistle in the first period.

RPI beats Dartmouth! Cornell's projected opponent is now... RPI?!

RIP has first playoff win in something like 5 years? Final in OT!

Three things, wow, I'd take it if it ended up like this, and Trotsky, why do you put home teams first?

But aren't most scores reported home last?

you mean something normal like where ESPN reports the leagues scores a-z except for the Ivy which comes after the Horizon league but the Independent teams come before it.

Yes. I could have done that, too, as I wanted them all on the same side. In fact, it would have been better, as that would have highlighted upsets. Look for this in the SP2.

To be clear, 'it' refers to the Horizon League, in that ESPN first lists the Independents, then the Horizon League, then the Ancient Eight.

There is a rumor that SP2 is buggy. I won't install it until at least six months after the release date.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Soccer's the only sport that normally puts the home team first. Everyone else follows the home-team-right/bottom convention. So if anyone's using a "weird-ass soccer thing," it's you.

Actually, I think it's a European thing, like writing "9 March" instead of "March 9". Swiss and German ice hockey results and schedules are also listed with the home team first.

The weird-ass soccer thing is, "W 1-4." That's weird. It's soccer. And it's assy.

It's not soccer. No one ever gets a "4" in soccer.

Dealing with space constraints, not including "Cornell" in the game score on every line seemed obvious. The score follows the home-team-last convention. Since some people seem to have difficulty with this rather simple concept, I also included "W/L" and made wins bold. Arbitrarily picking one team to always appear first or last is assy.

Sounds like a poll!

There is nothing arbitrary about listing the score and giving the result from the same POV.

Since I started this thread drift, I'll chime in. Any way you list is arbitrary; however my complaint, if it was that, was that you went against convention, as arbitrary as any convention is.

Which is why I restored the convention above. It did get us through the weekend, though. And everybody used "assy." That's always good.
