Yale is 17-3 in its last 20 games against RPI.

Colgate up on Dartmouth 2-1 in a game that can only be described as indescribably boring.

Trotsky
"Throw your clipboard." Now 3-1, Dartmouth looks like roadkill.

Doesn't impact us unless Clarkson also goes down.

Has anyone ever discovered how to search ESPN+ effectively?

Trotsky
Either I'm missing something or the entire capability is worse than useless. How hard would it be to have "Dartmouth" in the search pane followed by enter filter the results according to, you know, Dartmouth. Instead you only have a limited number of choices from a pick list: Dartmouth football and M and W hoops. Otherwise, you're fucked.

The only way to get to the game from their search is to go to the sports list, then scroll to hockey, then scroll through all the hockey matches and hope this game actually comes up.

If you subscribe to Hulu, you can watch any games that are on ESPN Plus on that. I've been watching Cornell games there, since it's easier to find them.

Clarkson wins, we get them.

Yale is now 18-3 against RPI in their last 21 games. Their record against Q over that span is much worse. But at least they won't have far to travel.

Ron Fogarty
Pre-game game from CHN
"It's an awful setup... It is the worst decision ever made in our conference. The Ivy League teams are already restricted to 29 games because of their rules.
"Making a quick move like this is for a one and out is a difficult one, especially for a team that ends up tied as a four seed. They could see a great body of work go down the drain if a goalie gets hot. The system was great before, because you had to earn it to get to the next level. There will be four upset coaches after this."

From the Albany Times Union
In past seasons, Union still would have had more hockey, but the ECAC changed its first-round playoff matchups from a best-of-three series to single-game elimination. So just before 6:30 on Saturday evening, Josh Hauge saw his first year as Union coach end with a 14-19-2 record.

“It’s not right,” winning coach Ron Fogarty said of the new format. “I feel bad for coach Hauge. He’s done a tremendous job with the team. The goalie (Hudson Falls native Connor Murphy) is one of the best goalies in the country. He showed he’s a leader for this team. As much as I’m happy for our team, there’s a little bit of a sad part there.”

in a perfect world all the series would be best of 3.

I have no clue about the university's IT or procurement organizations, but this kind of stuff is exactly why vendor risk management programs exist.

there is a reason they have been trying to get out of using this vendor for several years but no money was allowed to be spent.

Gee, when I said tickets go on sale Monday it was meant to be a joke. The online ticketing is still not functioning even though they said tickets would go on sale at 7am.

Besides the fact that Yale's 5 SOG were the fewest by a team in a D-1 game in 20 years, things got nasty toward the end of the Yale-Q game. Two Yale players, including Allain's son, received game misconducts (for kneeing and cross-checking), and Allain was given a 10-minute major for "abuse of officials."

It was a QU player for kneeing and Allain for the retaliatory cross-check. Kneeing is pretty awful, so I'll give Sonny that one.

FYI - it was tied for the lowest in the last 20 years, tied with a game from last season. There's no records in our database beyond 20 years back, which is the "20 years comes from" - but it's not the lowest in 20 years.

Planning on going to Lake Placid? My stepson and and his wife own a beautiful, fully-furnished lodge in Minerva, NY, about 80 minutes from Lake Placid and 15 minutes from Gore Mountain skiing. Sleeps 15 (6 bdrms) responsible Big Red fans. Check it out on Vrbo: [t.vrbo.io] If interested, you can email shannonsadik(at)gmail(dot)com.

For next weekend at Lake Placid, will the ice surface be 100' x 200' or 85' x 200'?

According to one of the broadcasts (had both on last night) it is no longer Olympic size. While Cornell never seemed to have a problem with the wide ice I'm glad they renovated the rink.

If USCHO is to be believed, Friday 3/17 game times are:

I beg to differ that Cornell hasn’t had much problem with the Olympic size sheet. It can’t really be quantified but I think it usually undermines the key strengths of Schafer teams—ability to physically dominate play along the boards and generate offense out of the corners. Schafer has been famously vocal about his distaste for Olympic sheets. Perhaps it’s cost us a few results up in Lake Placid; we’ll never know.
