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).
Friday 12/5:
Cornell .833 > @ Clarkson .167
@ St. Lawrence .167 > Colgate .500
Brown .389 > @ Dartmouth 1.000
Yale .500 > @ Harvard .750
@ RPI .333 > Quinnipiac .667
@ Union .444 > Princeton .583

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.

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.

Dartmouth splits with ASU. Cornell rises again in NPI:
4 Dartmouth
10 Harvard
12 Quinnipiac
14 Cornell
21 Princeton
Princeton beats Dartmouth, 5-4.
Hamden is federal PMITA prison for Harvard, 9-1.
Looks like Dartmouth pulled their goalie with about three minutes to go, Princeton got an empty netter, then Dartmouth came back to within one before time ran out.
Not sure if that says more about Dartmouth or Princeton.
I do think the Hamden score indicates that Harvard is overrated.
Cashman pulls his goalies way too early but Princeton has clearly been playing better this year under Syer.
As for Harvard, we already know their defense isn't great and Hamden is their house of horrors like Hanover is for us

SMH - the guy even sends me Happy New Year cards.
Looking like a 5-team race for the 4 byes among P, D, Cor, Q, H. So chances are pretty good.
For the first time in what feels like... ever?, the top half are partners:
1 Prn / 4 Qpc
2 Cor / 6 Cgt
3 Drt / 5 Hvd
7 Uni / 11 RPI
8 Yal / 10 Brn
9 Clk / 12 SLU
First games out of the shoot after UAF are 1, 4, 3, 5. All at Lynah.

Nice. Thank you. Can't navigate to it from the overall stats page though.
Fix your standings page, it blows:
Good (https://www.uscho.com/standings/division-i-men).
Bad (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/reports/standings.php).
Both sites' Scores are good; I prefer USCHO but that's a matter of taste, not content.
And yes, I know the TBRW indexing and site navigation and iPacifier formatting are total shit. I'm doing the best I can with what little brains I have.

Happened to me reading team of the week piece on chrome for ios today.
thanks - I need to figure that out - shouldn't be happening. Ads are normal - sketchy ones should not be. Unless all you people are just sketchy yourselves.
I can't really seem to replicate this. I've clicked all over. I get the google ad on top and side. And the ad at the bottom (Which is not google and is sometimes a problem) - is just an ad for Avatar or Star Trek or something. But nothing crazy. Will keep trying. But if anyone has any other info, feel free to pass along.
I've asked our whole staff to click around and see if they see anything bad. No one else can replicate it either. I've not gotten any other emails or user complaints about it either. Maybe you are all infected by the BearLover virus? I've heard it's nasty.
But seriously, if anyone can figure out any other info to help me fix it, let me know. You can email me at adamw@collegehockeynews.com

It's not an ad that we're clicking, at least not for me, it's a reroute. Like when you go on a shady ass site and it sends you through six websites before telling you to spin a wheel for a thousand bucks.

I wasn't suggesting it's an ad you're clicking. But there are ads out there that hijack sites simply when the page loads. I've never seen it on CHN and no one else has ever said anything - but I know they exist - and if so, it would come from our 3rd party ad server - or from a massive hack. Both of which I'd need to fix - which is impossible to do without seeing it.

All higher ranked ECAC teams won tonight and Princeton is still undefeated at home
Quote from: Iceberg on January 09, 2026, 09:45:22 PMAll higher ranked ECAC teams won tonight and Princeton is still undefeated at home
Are we sure Dartmouth won? Seems to be stuck with :02 to go.
Dartmouth did win.
Overall home record (https://www.uscho.com/standings/division-i-men) of the top 4 ECAC teams is now 35-3-2.
NPI:
7 Dartmouth
9 Cornell
10 Quinnipiac
15 Princeton
20 Harvard
21 Union
With Dartmouth returning to Earth, Cornell has opened up a big lead in defense among conference teams in al games played:
1.87 Cor
2.12 Drt
2.29 Uni
2.36 Qpc
2.69 Prn
Dartmouth picked up the extra point against Clarkson in the shootout.
Interesting groupings in the NPI going into tonight:
8 Drt
9 Cor v Qpc
10 Qpc @ Cor
19 Prn
20 Uni
26 Clk @ Hvd

20 behind 62 by a score of 2-1 with 13 minutes left in the 3rd.
Colgate shut out Princeton; that helps.
Harvard edged Clarkson 2-1 at Bright on a ppg inside 3 minutes to play in regulation.
By derp pct:
.788 Drt
.778 Qpc
.700 Cor
.636 Hvd
.611 Prn
There's a sizable gap between Quinnipiac and Cornell. I thought Q being without one of their top forwards and their top defensive defenseman might narrow that gap, but they still outshot and outchanced Cornell at Lynah. So, clear edge to them IMO. I guess having professional players on your team is a nice advantage. I would expect Q to get the 1-seed.
It also seems likely that Cornell is better than Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Clarkson, and Union, but I'm not sure of the gap there. It's not a great sign that we've been in dogfights at home against the likes of Omaha, Alaska, and Princeton. But our talent and results combined suggest to me we're better than these other ECAC teams. Next weekend will be interesting.
NPI after That Never Happened:
8 Drt
9 Qpc
11 Cor

31 Clk

Hvd @ Cor
Drt @ Cgt
The North Country home-and-home is also this weekend.
After this weekend the differences in GP conference-wide will have been almost entirely evened out. You know how we have banked "DP at hand"? This weekend is our chance to cash them in.
Welp, Hahvahd just built an authoritative wall (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/box/final/20260119/uni/har/) between 5 and 6.

6 .500 "The Movie Star and the Rest..."
Since travel pairs (http://www.tbrw.info/index.html?/weekly_Updates/cornell_H2H_Trips.html) began in 1985, you can count on one hand the number of times the Dartmouth game was as important as Fish N Fowl.
Also: we have not swept since 2019. The time has come for someone to put their foot down. And that foot is us.
After tonight, by DP%:
.778 Qpc

I know there's rounding, but even so, something seems wrong with the NCAA Seed Band. (Please see screenshot annotated badly, attached.)
There are 3 issues.
1. Rounding.
2. I counted <1 seeds as 0, probably should have used 1.
3. I no add good.

I only even mentioned it because the other three were 100, 99, and 99+. Our 97 seemed to be an outlier.
Thanks for the work!

If Harvard beats BC tonight, they bump up to 15, regardless of how the second Beanpot game goes, not that that's likely. But when was the last time anyone could entertain the idea of four ECAC teams in the NCAA tourney?

Ah, the last year of my intense parenting era. There's a significant gap in my historical knowledge due to that. Now that I look back at historical pairwise, there were a few good years for the ECAC. I really want to see the conference to be more than just us and Q on a regular basis. Dartmouth and Princeton have the potential to be part of that story. Princeton's got a bigger uphill battle at the moment, but I think Syer can do good things there.
