Colgate leads UM-L 4-0 in the third. The more wins against HEA opponents by our opponents the better.

SLU loses in OT when a SLU player knocks into his own goalie and pushes the goalie and puck in the net.

What's worse is the box score lists the goal as being at 5:00 in the third. Damn...

Not quite, it was a partial 2-on-1, with the 2nd SLU player just trailing. My memory's a little fuzzy, but basically the shot was taken and then a Wisc guy came barreling over and kinda collided with a SLU guy, who skidded 10 feet and into his own goalie. So the Wisc guy knocked down the SLU player, but it was 10 feet out so there's no way you could say it was intentional.

Once again, I'll believe it when I see it. They'll be mid-tier, as has come to be their norm.
That said, other than Clarkson embarrassing themselves, it wasn't a bad night for the ECAC. Colgate won the only game that you could the ECAC team *should* have won (well, ok, other than maybe Clarkson). Q and SLU lost, but kept it close on the road against ranked teams. I don't know whether Union's game against CC in the Icebreaker is technically considered neutral ice, but it was in Colorado Springs, so that's effectively a road game as well. RPI ran it up against a Canadian school, which is pretty much what you'd expect from RPI *before* it starts to matter, at which point Fridgen will curl up in a little ball and forget everything he knows about hockey.
It'd be encouraging if Clarkson could rebound strongly tomorrow.
Duluth lost at home to Bemidji. Not altogether encouraging for the Bulldogs.
Assuming no phenom shows up, Colgate's weak link this year will be inexperience goaltending.
Harvard sucks.
The first official Ivy game isn't until October 28th when the Red play Michigan State, but still? DROP THE PUCK!

I wouldn't say Clarkson "embaressed" themselves. They weren't predicted to be strong in the league this year as you know. They are a VERY young team and will take some time to develop. Also, they did generate 52 SOG so obviously there aas some offensive production but they had trouble finishing.
Yes, a tonight at Niagara would be nice.

That just shows how far Clarkson has fallen. If you'd asked any Clarkson fan in 1998 whether a 6-3 loss to a team that wasn't even in the ECAC, HEA, CCHA, or WCHA was "embarrassing," I think they'd have had a different answer for you.

Thanks Robb. I'm a Tech fan for 35 years so no need for you to tell me. But yes, I'd have had a different answer, much like red fans had a few years back when cornell lost to Sacred Heart. That was at Lynah, right? Was that "embaressing"? Maybe so since cornell was a strong team but Clarkson is not right now.
The Tech program hit a pothole a couple of years back, much like cornell did before Schafer arrived. Now I think we're on the road back but a couple of years away. As I said, it's a very young team without a proven goalie so nights like last night are expected.

[pot calling kettle black] I can't help but notice you have taken to using the lower case spelling of cornell for emphasis ... as opposed to spelling all other school names in your post correctly. [/pot calling kettle black] In contrast you did spell Lynah with a capital L. So you respect the rink but not the school/team?

It certainly was embarassing, so much so that that game (along with the 11-0 loss at Yale in 1998) "didn't happen" according to Lynah Faithful lore.

I know your lineage quite well, RichS. 
Yes, the loss to SH at Lynah was embarrassing, and there's no other way to spin it. Cornell finished 16-14-2 overall that year, and 4th in the ECAC at 11-8-3, but only 4 points above 9th place. Even if we'd lost two more ECAC games that year, I would have been embarrassed as the 9th place team losing to SH. So saying that the Clarkson loss to Niagara is embarrassing is completely consistent, even taking into account Clarkson's recent history. Even middle pack ECAC team should not lose this game this badly - and I'd say that about Cornell, Clarkson, or any other team.
Look - we all wish Clarkson had done better in that game - in fact, several of us went so far as to EXPECT better. In response, you went right to the "pointing out other people's shortcomings to make yourself feel better" technique.

My goodness, a Clarkson fan capable of admitting that losing to Niagara was embarrassing, without also feeling the need to name the most embarrassing Cornell loss he could think of. Shocking, and yet, not really.
Congrats to the Knights on today's win.

Well, in SCSU's defense (which is pretty tough, considering they are now the bottom-dewellers of the WCHA, props to Mich Tech), Alberta did play the Gophers close (4-3; they probably played the first line once all game), and they beat Mankato yesterday... As for the SLU win, its good to see, but it could just be one of those early season things (ie Alaska-Anchorage beating the Gophers last year in the Frontier Classic). However, I would find it hard to believe that Bucky can be as good as last year, losing a good goalie is always a chore, and they won't surprise people like last year. Props to Bemidji for continuing to be a very solid squad after last year (they looked pretty decent for a 4 seed in the tourney).

Alberta actually beat Minn-State and SCSU in the last two days, after losing by only 1 goal to UMinn. Is Alberta the king of Canadian college hockey, or is the WCHA looking a little shaky early on?
Combine that with SLU's split with Wisc, Mercyhurst splitting with MTU, and Bemidji sweeping UMD.
About the only WCHA team holding its own this weekend is CC, and possibly UND. Too early to get excited about it, but not a bad start
That now is the first win of a AH team over a WCHA team, leaving no conference that AH hasn't beaten at east one.

UAlberta is the king of college hockey - vastly superior to any of the eastern teams we have seen Cornell demolish in the past.

About the only WCHA team holding its own this weekend is CC, and possibly UND. Too early to get excited about it, but not a bad start
That now is the first win of a AH team over a WCHA team, leaving no conference that AH hasn't beaten at east one.

UAlberta is the king of college hockey - vastly superior to any of the eastern teams we have seen Cornell demolish in the past.

Don't laugh too hard at the teams. Remember that last year University of Illinois beat Penn State for the D1 national championship of the American Collegiate Hockey Association. I saw both semi-final games and would say that each of those clubs has a base that could be built into an NCAA D1 team if the schools wanted to.

Yeah, but a BTHC would more or less kill most of the famed smaller western schools' programs.

In the only Sunday game involving an ECACHL team, RPI lost 5-3 on the road at UMass-Lowell yesterday afternoon.
Also of note, Michigan State beat North Dakota 3-0 (with all three goals coming over a stretch of about 6:30 in the second period) to win the Lefty McFadden Invitational (which appears to be one of those rare tournaments in which the championship is played before the consolation game). MSU look tough in the early going (at least, as tough as you can reasonably conclude from a two-day tournament), and should be a serious test for our boys. They open their CCHA schedule with a game at Michigan the weekend before coming to Lynah.

I can't think of another case, in any sport. Weird.

The Lefty McFadden Invitational doesn't have a tournament format anymore (hence it being an "invitational," not a "tournament."

Sounds like the Lake Placid Olympics in 1980.
