This year's ECAC playoffs are giving me deja vu:
1995:
#7 Princeton knocks off #2 Brown in a hard-fought three-game series
2004:
#9 Clarkson knocks off #2 Cornell in a hard-fought three-game series
1995:
#6 RPI upsets #3 Harvard in two games, one of which is a tie
2004:
#6 Harvard upsets #3 Brown in two games, one of which is decided more
than five minutes into overtime
1995:
#7 Princeton upsets #1 Clarkson in the semifinals
2004:
#9 Clarkson upsets #1 Colgate in the semifinals
1995:
#6 RPI beats #4 Colgate in the other semi
2004:
#6 Harvard beats #4 Dartmouth in the other semi
Based on the pattern, I have to pick Harvard to beat Clarkson for the
title tonight. ::yark::
Can't the rink just implode, taking both sides with them?

But that would take the ECAC officials with them.

Wait, I'll get my coat.

ROFLMAO ::laugh:: ::laugh:: ::laugh::
Well, since Harvard did in fact beat Clarkson, let's hope for another parallel to 1995: a Cornell championship the following year! B-]

The prospect of watching the Crimson in Albany again next week has me drinking too.

The two[/b] following years. :-P
On the ice at Lake Placid :-D
If this were 1995, Colgate and Harvard would both be in the NCAA tournament. But it's 2004 and we have gone from a 12-team tournament to a 16-team tournament and the ECAC has just one team.
