Quarterfinal Choices

So here are my wishes:
No. 12 Brown at No. 5 Quinnipiac
No. 11 Princeton at No. 6 Yale
No. 10 Rensselaer at No. 7 Clarkson
No. 9 Dartmouth at No. 8 St. Lawrence
I don't care about Dartmouth/SLU. My choices are basically based on wanting to se a Union/RPI match-up. I think that would be exciting, TW might carry it, and it's the best shot for someone to beat Union.
So, what are your choices?
No. 12 Brown at No. 5 Quinnipiac
No. 11 Princeton at No. 6 Yale
No. 10 Rensselaer at No. 7 Clarkson
No. 9 Dartmouth at No. 8 St. Lawrence

It doesn't matter all that much to me. I don't think there's a team in the league that can beat us in a 3 game series other than maybe Union, who we wouldn't see until the final anyway. I guess if I had to pick I would say Quinnipiac (although again that wouldn't be until Atlantic City). We match up well against them. Also, on a personal note, my younger brother is a student at QU, so if we eliminate them from the playoffs 2 years in a row, I get extra bragging rights.

I'm going to go with all of the favorites.
RPI is hot, but I really think Casey will have Clarkson ready (and Karpowich can be unstoppable).

When we got back from Ithaca this afternoon I mentioned to Janice that I was putting my hockey glasses away for the season. (assuming no road trip to a regional) After reading your post I realized I should be rooting for RPI so as to extend live viewing interest in Schenectady.

I'm not sure I share that sentiment, after seeing us get swept by Colgate in a home-and-home. Cornell tends to be awfully good in the QF round, but teams get hot. See, e.g., 2004 and 2007.

Austin Smith is the type of player who can say "get on my back, boys," and carry a team through the playoffs. I don't want to see Colgate. (And won't have to until AC, potentially)
Most of the time when CU's offense has been frustrated, it was mostly due to a solid defensive effort. With one particular opponent, however, Cornell didn't have much trouble at all getting through the defense, but just got stymied over and over by their goaltender. I feel that Clarkson's Karpowich is very effective against our style, and has frustrated our forwards more than anyone else. In 2 games, 130 minutes, and 60 shots, we have 1 goal against him. In Florida, Clarkson played the backup who allowed 4 goals on 27 shots. Yeah, I'm nervous about facing Karpowich. Granted, he's had some stinkers late in the season, and he's the league leader in minutes (and saves) by far, so perhaps fatigue could be a factor. With no upsets, that's who we get.

FYP. If the season has shown us anything, it's that pretty much anybody in the league can beat us. (Or at least tie us!). And while 3 games lessens the chance of an upset by a team with less talent on paper, let's not pretend it eliminates it.

I think it's a fair statement that there isn't a single team in the bottom half of the league that should be able to beat us in a three game series at Lynah. Doesn't mean that it can't happen if we don't play well.Jordan 04

Then again is there any team in the league where you would go in feeling that Cornell was overmatched? While it appears that Cornell can lose to (tie) any team, I am also confident that Cornell can beat anyone in this league. Even Colgate, who we arguably looked worst against, I would bet that Cornell takes care of business.

You're right. I guess I was a little over confident. Amendment: There isn't a team that we might face in the 2nd round of the playoffs that can beat us in a 3 game series as long as we play as well as we can.

I'll be dang, Brown wins 4-1 at Q. Dartmouth takes game 1 at SLU (6-3), and RPI is on it way (5-1) to taking game 1 from Clarkson. Yale is the only team to win on home ice (4-2)

RPI does win 5-1. So if these results held for the series, we would get:
1-Union vs 12-Brown
2-Cornell vs 10-RPI
3-Harvard vs 9-Dartmouth
4-Colgate vs 6-Yale
1-Union vs 12-Brown

But getting RPI would be no picnic, as we have a tie and a loss with them, and they are clearly riding a hot streak.

Well, that cannot happen.
The loss to Brown early in the season was one in which Brown bested our team in a thorough team effort. The recent overtime loss to RPI was one in which a late-game defensive collapse cost us a win or a tie. We were playing without crucial, "creative" players on offense during the last two weeks. We will not be in the ECAC Quarterfinals. I am not sure which team to fear most, but I think phobia of any of them is disproportionate as well.

We're not the only team with injury problems. Princeton only had 16 skaters suit up for its game last night against Yale.
I wonder if it's their strength and conditioning program that is the problem. They've struggled with injuries throughout the past 3 years, failing to return to being the force they were in 07-08 and 08-09.

RPI and Clarkson tied at 3 and headed to OT. I haven't been paying close attention to the game, but some (more) game misconducts and RPI starting OT with over 4 min of PP time.
Q beats Brown, so game 3 tomorrow.
Latest Princeton - Yale score is tied at 4 in the 3rd.

Free audio on WRPI. Thank you Engineers .

Tonight's game was insanity. It's still possible that the winner of this game could end up @ Cornell, so we will just have to see what happens. Selfishly, if Clarkson wins, I'd rather they end up at Lynah rather than Bright, since I'll be able to attend.

No. 11 Princeton at No. 6 Yale
No. 10 RPI at No. 7 Clarkson
No. 9 Dartmouth upsets No. 8 St. Lawrence
1. Brn, Prn, RPI; Uni-Brn, Cor-Prn, Hvd-RPI, Col-Drt
2. Brn, Prn, Clk; Uni-Brn, Cor-Prn, Hvd-Drt, Col-Clk
3. Brn, Yal, RPI; Uni-Brn, Cor-RPI, Hvd-Drt, Col-Yal
4. Brn, Yal, Clk; Uni-Brn, Cor-Clk, Hvd-Drt, Col-Yal
5. Qpc, Prn, RPI; Uni-Pri, Cor-RPI, Hvd-Drt, Col-Qui
6. Qpc, Prn, Clk; Uni-Prn, Cor-Clk, Hvd-Drt, Col-Qui
7. Qpc, Yal, RPI; Uni-RPI, Cor-Drt, Hvd-Yal, Col-Qpc
8. Qpc, Yal, Clk; Uni-Drt, Cor-Clk, Hvd-Yal, Col-Qpc
So if all game 3's were 50/50, our opponents' odds in 8 as 37% Clarkson, 50% Princeton or RPI, and 13% Dartmouth.

And I forgot, no ECAC video. I suppose since America One does the video. They should negotiate that they get highlights.Trotsky
Sounded like Clarkson won on a flukey play (Merriam failed to cover a post), after RPI was really controlling play.css228
Wow, Clarkson wins in 3OT. Can't imagine RPI winning the series after that stomach punch.

It's 9 bucks for all 3 games in America One, good broadcast too. Few if any cutoffs. Good deal IMHO.

Some brief highlights from the Clarkson-RPI game were captured by Cap Carey of the Watertown Daily Times.

What I was complaining about was no highlights, not complaining about the broadcast. I didn't watch any this year, but their broadcasts have always been good.gatefan

As an aside, do you mean that you can get all three games tonight for $9, or a two team series of (maybe) three games is $9? If I can get all three tonight for $9 I might do it.

The only way we play Clarkson is if seeds 5, 6 and 7 all win. If exactly one of them loses, then Dartmouth would be the opponent.
So it's 12.5% Clarkson, 37.5 % Dartmouth, 25% RPI and 25% Princeton, if each game is 50/50.
Edited to fix my post as I originally typed RPI in Clarkson's spot - thanks daredevilcu for paying attention.

You can get all 3 games tonight for $9. And from watching last night it is very easy to flip between then and even watch 2 with one PIP. I was impressed by the set up.

Wow, Clarkson wins in 3OT. Can't imagine RPI winning the series after that stomach punch.
On the other hand the RPI announcers admitted that the goal that put them ahead in the second was likely a bounce off a Clarkson skate.
though it pains me I quote Ed Weaver of the Troy Record
Senior winger Patrick Cullen scored a pair of goals for the Engineers, who led by one goal three times, only to see Clarkson come back to tie the contest.
He banged a rebound off a Clarkson defender in the second period, and banged one off Karpowich and behind him from near the goal line for a 3-2 lead with 9:00 remaining in regulation time.

Maybe we'll get lucky and both Brown and Princeton will win tonight so we can face Princeton. I know it's unlikely but that's what I'm rooting for so that we don't have to face RPI again. I'd also like RPI to knock off Clarkson. I don't want to see Clarkson in a later round; they gave us trouble both times we faced them.

If Yale wins tonight they might move up to TUC (barely), but I don't think they stay there unless they win the next round. Not impossible, but they're not that good a team.

I don't want to face either. We only scored 1 goal all year against Clarkson. That means a game against Clarkson is the type of game where anything can happen and the first team to score has a big advantage.

Actually we scored 5 against them in Florida. But it will still be an anything can happen series with Karpowich in goal.

FYP. Cornell beat Clarkson 5-3 in Florida with their backup playing. We put up shot totals of 32, 28, & 28 against them, and we only had 7 games all year of 28 shots or more.

If we pencil in Quinnipiac and Yale after their dominating first periods, that would secure:
3-Harvard vs 6-Yale
4-Colgate vs 5-Quinnipiac
The choices then would be either:
1-Union vs 10-RPI
2-Cornell vs 9-Dartmouth
or
1-Union vs 9-Dartmouth
2-Cornell vs 7-Clarkson
depending on who wins the Clarkson-RPI game.
