Title: How about 3 in DC??
Post by: RichH on March 27, 2009, 08:02:05 AM
I do believe that getting three Ivies (not to mention ECAC teams) through to the Frozen Four would make college hockey's head explode.  It's not inconceivable; none of us are patsies this year.  Yale particularly hasn't been paid much attention, I feel.

Good luck Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and whatever team comes out of the "Ralph Wiggum" regional.  ;-)  Let's do this.

LGR!!!!

It would certainly make tickets easier to come by.  :-)  I'm not really sure I want another semifinal against Princeton and final against Yale, though under the circumstances I could probably live with it.

Screw 3 ECAC teams...it'd be 3 IVY teams. That would make people's heads explode! Smart kids...good at sports?

Three Ivies in the tournament is quite an impressive feat. If the Ivies had this level of competition year in and year out, we'd be better off as a conference of 6. We'd get our autobid and a chance to play a better out of conference schedule. Of course, we don't get that level of competition every year, but it'd be nice.

Agreed.  I almost wrote a long screed in response this morning but decided not to in the spirit of civility.

How about 3 Ivies and Air Force?  Under 12 min left and they lead Michigan 2-0.

I'd rather three Ivies and no Air Force.

Yale's potential path just got a lot easier.

Not that Air Force is to be overlooked, they made that quite clear.
