Of course, the one trip to Princeton is not a happy memory.  In a "first team to 3 points" series, after coming from 4-1 down to tie the opener, Cornell led midway through the decisive second game 4-1.  Then, this (http://www.tbrw.info/seasons/1999/box19990313.pdf).

That was rendered more stupefying for me by the fact that I was listening to the game at 4am in my office in Bern.

I'm pretty sure I was chatting with you in my office in Redondo Beach, CA.  Did we have Asia covered?

Wow. While I certainly remember the loss, I had no recollection of that 3rd period.

Then you did the post-season mind-wiping process correctly.

If you consider the Middle East to be Asia, then yes.

Oh, THAT explains why I drove to Buffalo 10 years ago.  Thanks!

Cornell's second-round opponent, Quinnipiac if Harvard loses Sunday, RPI if Harvard wins, are both on spring break next week. In case you were worried about tickets being available.

I think it refers to the season, as in 2012-13.

Since the ECAC has had its current format, how many times has the No. 1 seed lost a quarterfinal series ?

I know in 2008, 2010, and 2011 the #1 seed lost in the QF.  So, it has not been uncommon in recent memory.

Those are the only three occasions. The #2 seed, on the other hand, is 9-1, with the sole loss coming in 2004 (us, to Clarkson). ::cuss::

Overall, teams with a bye through the first round are 31-9 in their quarterfinal series under the current format.

Of all the wonderful statistics amassed by Cornell hockey over the years, the road playoff record continues to amaze me.  Now 12-6-2 against "better" teams in their own barns when the season is on the line - truly remarkable.

To be fair, 6 of the series advances were against teams one place ahead in the standings, with only 1980 and 1998 showing up as major upsets.  May we add another one next weekend at #9 over #1/#2!

I have edited the OP to include RS points difference.  Three of the 5 at 4 cases were actually fairly big gaps (5+ points).

If Cornell plays at RPI, it will be an 8-point gap.  If at Quinnipiac, it will be the largest {18} RS point deficit Cornell has faced in ECAC playoff history.
