Title: Harvard vs Quinnipiac Who Do You Want?
Post by: Jim Hyla on March 16, 2015, 07:11:31 AM
For me neither, but I may have to root for Harvard.

I would give Harvard the edge too.  It would increase the chance that more than one ECAC team makes the NCAAs.

Kill Q.  Kill it with fire.

Harvard, reluctantly. Of course I'd rather that SLU or Colgate win the tourney.

Since they've been on the clock longer, Colgate is my slight preference over SLU.

Quinnipiac can't leave for Hockey East soon enough.

So, go Harvard... ::doh::

And just working on CHN's "You Are The Committee" (http://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/yatc.php), I could make it so Q missed the NCAAs. Not likely, but.....

This is brutal. Harvard. But please, SLU, please win the tournament.

Much as I harbor frustration for SLU beating CU twice in a row in Placid when I was a student, SLU is the best of four lousy choices for me.

If Quinny is in even if they lose the semis then I'd rather they beat Harvard to knock them out of an at large at least.

Hate Q more, but would so as to minimize the amount of ECAC teams in the NCAAs, gotta root for them.

Yeah, that sentence wasn't English.  Basically, I don't ever again want to see another ECAC team win it all before Cornell does (for recruiting and rivalry concerns), so I want to minimize the number of ECAC teams that get in.  I hate Q more, but since they'll be in regardless, I'd prefer they knock Harvard out.  (But let's not have this conversation again.)

That's perfectly consistent with your stated preferences and because of that I understood what you meant the first time.  (And let's not do it again :-))

Quinnipiac most likely to make NCAAs no matter what. Maybe St. Lawrence with a title game loss?

Can the ground not open up and suck them both down?

Vesey already with a goal from a very very sharp angle. Scary good player

Edit: 3-0 Sucks now. QU doesn't really have an answer for their offensive play so far. Garteig pulled.

Wow.  Did not see that coming.  We could conceivably be 2-0-2 against the 2 finalists.

Garteig back in now. Interesting coaching with that move.

From multiple schools? Do you mean the 8500 seats are more full than empty? I would love for LP to be a sellout every year. We are not going back to Boston Garden and the 1970s-early '80s; LP seems more of a hockey town than Albany.

No I should have put some sarcasm in there. At least the side away from the cameras looked empty. No bands either and I'm not hearing any for the second game either. Of course SLU doesn't have a band and Colgate, oh well.

At least one of us is hoping Albany looks like a no-brainer to the league brass after several years of futility in AC and LP. But I'll refer everyone to the threads that already beat this topic to death years ago.

As much as I'd like the return to Albany, the attendance was fine for the second game. And we can assume Harvard will bring twice as many fans tomorrow. ..

I don't imagine there will be a good crowd tomorrow.
