This is the ECAC men's hockey playoff schedule for 2022, I believe. Positions 8-12 are not locked in. Most likely outcome for Cornell: first weekend off, second weekend host and beat Colgate (best 2 of 3, one bad game is not fatal), third weekend in Lake Placid play Quinnipiac Friday March at 4 p.m.

* 8-12 are placeholders, depend on H@P Sunday 2/27. SLU 8th if H>P

Notes:
* Quinnipiac, Clarkson Harvard and Cornell are the top 4 seeds. They get the first weekend off.
* The tournament is reseeded after each round so highest plays lowest.
* If top seeds win in the first round then second round:
-- Cornell plays Colgate weekend of March 11-13
-- Cornell plays Quinnipiac 4pm Friday March 18 in Lake Placid. (If a 6-12 team wins a first round series, Q plays not Cornell but someone seeded lower.) Top seed plays early game Friday.
-- Cornell if after 3rd upset of Q Friday, if beats Clarkson Saturday, wins 13th ECAC playoff title, likely the only way to make the NCAAs
* The Lake Placid Olympic ice surface (the big rink, the Miracle on Ice rink, capacity 7,700), has been re-imagined and redone to be a 200x85 NHL surface. If I read correctly, it can be configured either way and for the ECACs it will be 200x85 not 200x100.
* Apropos of Lake Placid's future as a winter sports center, there is talk -- hope? -- that once again Lake Placid would host a Winter Olympics. If it were to happen, Salt Lake City is next up for U.S. site-bidding, and the LP Olympics III backers say such an event might be a joint Lake Placid-Montreal effort, 110 miles distant while China's venues were as much as 140 miles apart.

Which home team(s) is the most likely to get upset?

billhoward
Best gate in LP would be Cornell, Clarkson and pick-em. Maybe Quinnipiac with visions of a march to the NCAA title might hire buses but how do they find a conditional block of 40 or 200 rooms that would let them cancel if they got bounced in the quarters? If RPI made it in, they'd draw fans.

Since Dartmouth apparently won the tie breaker vs Yale this begs as to why they pulled their goalie in OT vs Union last night.

Q is a notorious and historical commuter school, meaning most kids there are a few towns away from the parental laundry machines. An excuse to take a weekend to a resort area hours away where there are bars that are lax at carding. Like a magnet.

It's also interesting that 62 percent of the [Quinnipiac] students are female.

Actually, he's the one announcer that I came to dislike this weekend and I listened to all four. To his credit, I'm amazed that he can recall all of that minutia, on the fly, while staying up with the play-by-play. But, to me, it made me weary trying to process all of it and also follow the flow of the game. I ended up muting the tv.

SLU has tied Brown.

RPI has come all the way back with 2 ppg and a shorty and leads Dartmouth 4-3 with 4 minutes to go.

Brown goalie gave up the softest goal you can imagine in the 1st couple of minutes of OT, and SLU moves on.

They have5 days to recover. I don’t think a 3rd game makes a difference.

Who has the best chance of taking down a higher seed this weekend (March 11-13), ECAC quarterfinals? Anybody?

St. Lawrence at #1 Quinnipiac
Union at #2 Clarkson
RPI at #3 Harvard
Colgate at #4 Cornell



St. Lawrence really doesn't need room reservations Saturday night in Hamden. Q's only non-wins in the ECAC are:
2-2 tie and 3-1 loss vs. Clarkson
2-1 loss, OT, and 1-0 loss vs. Cornell
1-0 loss vs. Harvard
... so any of the top-four teams perhaps could beat Quinnipiac in a single-game elimination in Lake Placid. St. Lawrence, taking 2 of 3 this weekend?

Union beat Clarkson 4-3 in OT then lost 8-2 in Potsdam.

RPI beat Harvard 2-0 then lost 5-1 in the final weekend.

Colgate as we know too well has a 2-2 tie and 3-2 loss to Cornell.

My guess is Harvard loses and we play Casey and company first round at lake placid.

Harvard completes a comeback from 3–0 down. They win 4-3 in OT after scoring 3 EAG in the last 4 minutes of regulation (sound familiar?)

Clarkson also wins in the 1st 2 minutes of OT and beats Onion 3-2

I asked @HarvardMHockey @DonatoTed why he called T.O. @ 1:17 on an @RPI_Hockey icing. He didn’t say he wanted to see what @RPI_HockeyCoach was drawing up. But I’m pretty sure it’s what #HailToThee HC wanted to say to me postgame 😂 #GoCrimson [t.co]

Cornell looked like it had so much more energy than Colgate towards the end of tonight’s game. Seeing what happened at Clarkson and Harvard (both winning in OT with Harvard staging a huge comeback in the final minutes), I wouldn’t be surprised if the same thing was true for those teams. Having a bye is such a massive advantage.

I agree that playoff inflation is a bad thing. IMO the fairest thing would be for only the top 4 teams to make the playoffs. But if you’re going to put 8 or 12 teams in the playoffs, the most exciting system is giving the top teams the big reward (byes) to play for during the regular season.

Trotsky
Grady and Tim did comment that early in the game Cornell was hitting the body hard and that might show as the night wore on.

If that's so we should expect the same tactics tonight.

I think outshooting them 37-10 down the stretch may have been closer than the actual level of dominance. That was some 2003 shit there.

RPI scores on a textbook 2-on-1 break early in the second OT to send the handful of Harvard fans home disappointed. RPI goalie made 47 saves.
