I assume so, with the late start.

It's gonna be awesome to see Clarkson score 4 straight goals.

I thought it was to accommodate an afternoon women's game?

1 down, 3 to go.

Linda Blair is rooting for Union about 5 feet off mic.

RPI looking for the sweep in Hanover, up 2-1.

Are any one of these games more entertaining than the others? I need to find me something to listen to.

So far WRPI's feed and game are good.

Brown up 1-0 at Bright.

3-1 RPI over DC.

So Brown was assessed a 2 minute penalty at the end of the first period for a "protocol violation". Can anybody give me an idea of what this means? Wouldn't leave the ice or something?

The players on the bench at the buzzer probably skated onto the ice instead of going directly up the tunnel.

The team or the band?

Wow. RPI and not RIP.

Wow, the levels are so wrong on the Quinnipiac webcast as to be comic.

OT underway at Quinnipiac.

Colgate wins!

Yeah, but how about how they dress.

UNH beats Vermont in ot. Not sure what those two knocking heads does for our PWR.

BC beats Northeastern.

i think verm would have helped us by letting us pass UNH in rpi.

Since they split this weekend it does essentially nothing. We wanted one team to sweep, preferably Vermont as it should have dropped UNH behind Cornell. UNH stays at 8 for now.

Brown with a PP goal -- up 2-0!

Brown scores on pp, 2-0.

Brown up 2-0 on a PPG. (5 x 4, after a 5 x 3 expired).

Sunday. And the real treat will be Ed Weaver's column in The Record (Troy's entry in the bankrupt Journal Register empire).

The RPI ladies upset the Harvard's women's team earlier today in the ECACHL semi finals. (They will play Dartmouth in the finals).

Big hockey weekend for the capital teams.

we need a sweep next week to help with whatever happens the following week.

I didn't think they had a Sunday edition.

Still 2-0 at Bright, 7:23 to play.

Harvard on a PP.

I'm not sure if the Schenectady Gazette has had a Sunday edition for all that long. The Troy Record started theirs in the 1980's. All three will have editions tomorrow.

Harvard with 6 skaters, 1:56 to go, 2-0.

Harvard pulls Carroll, down 2-0 with less than 2 minutes left.

Now on the PP - 6 on 4 and taking their timeout.

Line of the night, from the Harvard PBP guy, "and the Brown coach is livid... as is the radio announcer."

Brown with a penalty with 1:37 left. According the the Harvard announcers, both Grillo and the Brown radio crew are livid.

Harvard pulls Carroll, down 2-0 with less than 2 minutes left.

Anybody listening to the Brown feed? If so, how "irate" were the Brown radio guys? Just curious, considering that according to ELF the Brown radio guys come across as homers and losers.

There are several posts on USCHO re: how unprofessional the Brown call is.

Not as irate as they would normally be if Brown were playing Cornell.

Yes!!!

Harvard with a lot of pressure but could not score. Less than 5 seconds left.

Gee, usually Harvard waits until after the first day of spring to start choking, not the night the clocks spring ahead.

Happy Golfing Harvard!

Wow. This is the first time in how many years that Harvard doesn't make it to Albany/Lake Placid?

Brown wins 2-0. Maybe our win at Brown last week was better than we thought

He shouted, repeatedly, "That call is garbage!" in response to the penalty against Brown with under 2 minutes. He was fired up because he thought there was hit to the head of one of the Brown players just prior that didn't get called.

Ahhhhhh see ya Sucks!

Brown didn't record a single shutout all season (aside from an exhibition game against Trois Rivieres) and got Harvard on back-to-back nights. Of course that'll happen when you only win 3 and tie 5 games all season.I'm not sure if you could tell on the radio broadcasts or if anybody saw any of the games, but did the Brown goaltender stand on his head or was Harvard just not putting good shots on net?

Also, are next weekend's games on Redcast or B2?

From the WHRB (Harvard) feed, it sounded like Harvard played the last two periods on hydrocodone.

Actually Harvard lost in the quarterfinals in 2007 to Clarkson. Before that I think it was 2000.

Correct.

Most recent year each team has failed to make the QF or Quints (thank you John):

2009: Clarkson, Dartmouth, Harvard
2008: Brown, RPI, St. Lawrence
2007: Union, Yale
2006: Princeton
2001: Colgate*
1999: Cornell

Quinnipiac* has never failed to make the QF

* Either Colgate or Quinnipiac will fail to make it in 2009.

# of ECAC F4 appearances since the Great Divorce (1984):

17: Harvard
16: Clarkson
15: Cornell
11: RPI
9: St. Lawrence
7: Colgate
5: Dartmouth, Princeton
4: Vermont
3: Brown, Yale
0: Army, Quinnipiac, Union

Of course, there were technically no quarterfinals from 1998-2002.

Actually, they have a Sunday Edition. And it was more like a sneeze than an orgasm. Two basketball tournaments are in town, America East and the MAAC, so both hockey stories were buried in the inner pages.

I didn't see the Schenectady Gazette, but that paper probably bumped the headboards a little.
