Cornell has won all four (http://www.tbrw.info/?/games/cornell_Harvard_PS.html) Lynah series against Harvard: 1990, 1997, 2000, and 2010.

RPI has a long-history of winning when a last seed in the playoffs. i can remember like it was yesterday RPI, the lowest seed (#8) in the ECAC playoffs, defeating #1 UNH in 1974 in OT on a goal by Rick Smith. The only video I have ever seen is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUEHAUJsKDE showing UNH scoring 3 goals in 1:39. Whenever someone posts a comment stating that RPI actually won the game it eventually gets deleted. Revisionist history.

Reducing the first round of the ECAC playoffs to a one-and-done certainly increases the odds of an upset. Since I'm too lazy to look this up myself, how many times has the No. 12 seed knocked off the No. 5 seed since the ECAC expanded the playoffs to all 12 teams? I'm assuming it's not that common an occurrence.

2-19 since they started doing it in 2003.  

2011 Colgate over RPI,  2-4, 5-2, 2-1 (2ot)
2024 RPI over Clarkson, 3-2

So, 1-1 as single game vs 1-18 as best of 3.

In 2 of those 18, the #12 won game 1 and then was swept in games 2-3:

2012 Brown at Quinnipiac
2013 Harvard at Dartmouth

And ironically the one time a #12 beat a #5 in three games, the #5 would have escaped had it been a single game.

Thanks for your post on that video. Also thanks to stephenkrause1122. I am going to have to remember to check if they are deleted. BTW, I am pretty sure that the video was posted by the same person who posts on USCHO with the handle C-H-C https://fanforum.uscho.com/member/35577-c-h-c. I do regard UNH as much the better team that year, and they would not have dug themselves a deep hole early had their #1 goalie, Cap Raeder, not been playing injured until he was replaced.

I add that in the ECAC semis in Boston Harvard trounced RPI, and Cornell did the same in the consolation game. The victory over UNH was enough to earn RPI a bid to the one and only Hockey NIT that year. It was turned down.

Lets hope 2 weeks off have helped the health issues the team was running with.

Thanks for posting.  Time management is huge.  The kids come off as kids but a lot more serious seeming about school than the guys in my day when they were, shall we say, unserious.  

Also very impressed by Castagna's shot. Really ripped it.

Biggest takeaway:will Jimmy Rayhill get through four years without ever playing?  Has that ever happened?  Will coach find a game to get him in?

Misha Song comes to mind, although I don't think he was "officially" on the team roster his senior year. I also believe he did "dress" for 1 or 2 games, but never actually got on the ice.

I think you're right about Song.

i think Song may have played some exhibition time, right?
