A Brown win clinches an un-split Ivy title and the ECAC RS title for Cornell.
A tie clinches at least a split Ivy title for Cornell (depending on the outcome of Harvard@Dartmouth this Friday). I'm not sure how tiebreakers fall regarding the ECAC RS title in this case.
A Harvard win means Cornell needs Dartmouth to get at least a point on Friday to get a share of the Ivy title and needs at least a point or two in the North Country this weekend to secure the ECAC RS title.
(Yes, I'm lazy, but the tiebreakers all seem to involve Harvard and Vermont and Dartmouth and Brown and they're all playing each other this coming weekend.)
A Brown win also helps keep Brown a TUC.
Good point. And on top of that, Harvard sucks. So in summation, go Brown. (And not just down the toilet for a change.)
We win the tiebreaker with Harvard.
Regardless of the outcome of tonight's game, Cornell stays #6 in the PWR after the 3-2-1 bonus is applied. However, if Brown wins, Cornell keeps the comparison win with BC, 3-1. If Harvard wins, BC wins the comparison with Cornell 2-2 and a slightly higher RPI.
OK, I think I'm starting to see it. If Harvard finishes tied with Cornell on points, the top 4 is Cornell, Harvard, Colgate, and either Vermont or Dartmouth (the only way Brown could even theoretically sneak into the top 4 is by winning their last 3 games to tie Vermont at 26 points, and then this is moot). Head-to-head is even, second tiebreaker is record against top 4, Cornell's record vs. top 4 is 1-1-0 (Harvard) + 1-0-1 (Colgate) + either 1-1-0 (Dartmouth) or 1-0-1 (Vermont) , no worse than 3-2-1. Harvard's record vs. top 4 is 1-1-0 (Cornell) + 0-2-0 (Colgate) + whatever they wind up with against Dartmouth or Vermont, but in any event no better than 3-3-0.
Did I do that right?
Oh, god, I can see a looooooooooooooooooong thread here tonight. We care a little bit especially if Bruno can knock off the Cantabs. But mostly we're bored, bored, bored because Cornell isn't playing.
I know it wouldn't be good for their grades, but couldn't Cornell play a 49- not 29-game regular season, including tonight? With its own satellite TV channel?
Sucks 1, Brown 0
1-0 Harvard, Cavanagh from Maki and Bernakevitch.
It's Hyphen vs Apostrophe.
I'm sure it won't happen, but we can always root for both of them to get lit up tonight. Like 8-7 Brown. ::nut::
Oh, look, we have our own Gametracker. It's just not showing the results we want. Thank you, gents.
The Brown radio broadcasters are terrible, terrible whiners.
The game is being played not only in Brown's end, but in D'Alba's crease.
Can't seem to get the audio, but LameTracker is showing SOG to be 12-3 Sucks. Is it really that one-sided?
Wah wah wah:`(
My God, you're not kidding. Awful.
"You're only allowed one shot" on a delay penalty, according to the Brown announcers. ::rolleyes::
Did you hear them whining about the fact that Sucks has so many assists?
Don't the referees make that decision?

If they do, that has got to be pretty hard to figure out. I ref intramurals here, and we have to tell the goal scorer, but that is easy to figure out. I don't think I would be able to tell you assists after a goal though.
Alright, that's it. Hang these guys. I can't listen to this crap anymore. "No question Welch is the best defenseman in the ECAC this year. It's a foregone conclusion that he'll win best defensive defenseman."
Brown with a couple of good rushes, and Les Haggett misses and open net in the final minute. Period over, 1-0, with the Brown announcers creaming themselves over Harvard. :-(
Hyphen a Hobey Baker candidate? ::screwy::
and these are the brown commentators....
I've gone over to the Hahvahd announcers. They can't be worse. Can they?
Harvard 2-zip.

That's not that crazy, especially if you consider McKee to be a hobey candidate. Hyphen has a better SV% (.947, i believe), and a very respectable GAA (around 1.6)

I watch him and I think, "God is he lucky he's got this good defense in front of him, or he'd be doomed by his bad rebound control."
Fuck this, Brown sucks. Go Dartmouth. :-(
Whine whine whine...."its not sour grapes" whine whine whine
This is terrible
Hahvahd 3-zip. :S
Beyond the Ivy title and potential Cleary Cup implications, this could be bad for our NCAA seeding. Brown is @ Vermont and @ Dartmouth for their last two games. If they lose this game and those two, a real possibility, their RPI is likely to fall to right around 0.500. They will then need to win their first round playoff series against a bottom feeder that would hurt their RPI unless it's a sweep, which probably won't even help their RPI. So Brown may need to make it to Albany to stay a TUC, and preserve 2 of our 8 TUC wins, unless they can come back tonight or at least split in northern New England. :-(
So go Brown and go Dartmouth this Friday.
So much for a comeback tonight. :-/
I wonder where HARVMIH came from? (It's what Gametracker thinks Sucks is called...)
Harvard Men's Ice Hockey
If you're making that up, you're awesome.
If it's just fact... that's whack yo.
Brown's announcers are to sports radio what Warren Harding was the presidency. Nice diversion by them, ragging on Harvard's president.
3-0 Sucks final.
Another shutout for hyphen. That's 6 for him this season, making him 2nd in the nation for shutouts, one behind the Pride of Texas.
Grrrrr.
H 3-0. Brown's no help. (And didn't they used to be the Bruins as well as the Bears?)
Okay, it's now up to Dartmouth to take down Harvard and give Cornell a tie for the Ivy title.
If Dartmouth defeats Harvard, Cornell wins the Ivy title outright.

Can we put this in the FAQ?
what's all this talk of Dartmouth and Brown, don't y'all know it's Darmouth and Brom ... and in case you haven't heard both have really great teams. [/uscho joke]

I can't remember the entire EZAC membership. All I've got is:
Kornel
Darmouth
Brom
Aquafresh
Sarah Lawrence
Onion
Anybody else remember the rest?
Fuck Hahvahd.
Sorry, it needs to be said.
[OT] I think that's what some large fraction of the faculty said to President Summers yesterday. Although see also this week's Newsweek's "analysis" of Summers' difficulties. Of the constituencies - Harvard Corp., faculty, alumni, students, -- Newsweek says it's only the faculty who dislike him intensely, while students find he's open. If you want to see a different college with a president on a divisive mission, see today's WSJ story on Drexel and its president who wants everyone to remember Drexel is a business as well as a place of higher learning.

Drexel = The Papadakis Cult of Personality
Such a shame.
Bill, in the interest of saving everyone time and effort, maybe you could just let us all know in the event that one of your posts is ON topic?
I've come to think of Bill as the Grandpa Simpson of the elynah forum: somewhat interesting (and entertaining) remarks, but rarely on topic.
"So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah - the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..."
Edit: yes, I realize this is not on topic either :P
