Intended (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guide_for_the_Perplexed) to be a continuing thread discussing whom to root for in conference games going forward (conference winning percentage in parens).
I start with just hoping for upsets in all games other than us. Regress everybody below us towards .490ish til we reach our highest ground (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM4UOgFMY5w&list=RDaM4UOgFMY5w&start_radio=1).

Great thread, but I need to not look at it early in the morning. I stupidly spent several minutes expecting win %'s in each game to total 1.000
Well the first one was a red herring.

3.63 GF/G and a margin of 1.88... But I was told we can't score.
Brown is playing their conference game at Princeton on Sunday, December 28. That is certainly a choice.
Freaky travel partner singletons happen from time to time, but that scheduling is weird. Pathetically, I will be so hard up for ECAC hockey by then I'll most likely watch. Go, uh, Brown? I guess?
2 weeks down and 2 to go. La petit mort is a bitch.
This game is curious. Brown and Princeton are scheduled to play three times this year, twice at Princeton. None of the three games are listed as nc on CHN. On BrownBears.com, neither of the two games at Princeton have the ECAC logo underneath them like the other conference games do (including the one played at Brown). I don't know if that's relevant.
Likewise none of the games are listed nc on Princeton's schedule on CHN, and they use a similar web service for their schedule, but they have the ECAC logo under the first and third games, not the December one.
I had to resort to checking USCHO. It lists the Dec game as nc, which makes sense. The Feb 6-7 weekend looks like a regular travel partner weekend for P/Q/Y/B.
Why, yes, I am avoiding doing laundry. How did you know?

I actually thought I fixed that - maybe it was for some other team. But this is a by-product of the Ivy teams finding out late that they could add a 30th game.
