Now that the regular season is over, some questions...
1. For the home playoff games at Lynah, do regular season ticket holders need to buy tickets or are they included in ticket packet?
2. What are the Lynah game times and dates?
3. Who would we like play in the playoffs at Lynah?
1. they're included this year, if they dont play the lsat game you can return em for $
1. ?
2. Games are March 11th and 12th at the usual 7pm.
3. If we're really talking preferences, RPI, Yale or Princeton are fine. Union and Clarkson to a lesser extent.
My 2 cents.
And March 9th, if necessary, just to cover all our bases
1. not sure; it may be different than in years past when they were not included (i believe they are now- check your ticket package
2. games always at 7pm, 2 weekends from now. it's a fri-sat-sun (if necessary) best of 3
3. we play the winner of ckson/union (8v9). we probably played better against clarkson than union, but the clarkson games are always a bit unpredictable and they may seek to injure out of spite. union played a very tough game on it's home ice but since then has sucked.
We play the lowest remaining seed, not necessarily the 8/9 winner. If 5, 6, and 7 win, then yes, we play the 8/9 winner.
let me rephrase that, we play the lowest remaining seed. i was assuming that 10, 11, 12 (rpi pton yale) are gonna get swept, leaving the winner of 8/9.
Um, the above dates are incorrect; next week is Cornell's bye week, so the games at Lynah are March 11, 12, and (if necessary) 13.
First ROund Matchups:
Yale at Dartmouth
RPI at Brown
Princeton at SLU
Clarkson at Union
brown dropping out is killing our pwr
Brown is out of PWR by .0003, and this kills our TUC comparison with many teams, just one of the ways that PWR is not always the best way to go.

There are two games coming through tonight involving teams Brown has played - Providence and UMD (and American Int'l just came through).
Prov and UMD won, and AIC tied. When the AIC result came in, Brown's RPI went up .0001 to .4997.
When those other two come through we'll see if its enough to keep them a TUC for the week.
Oh, and not, "with many teams", btw - 1 or 2, I think.
The UMD win comes in and Brown jumps to .5005! One more to go!
Actually that seems to include both of them. So Brown's at .5005 - hopefully it won't swing much more (at least not downwards) tonight.
Any idea what time the Sunday game would be if it is necessary?

Last year, the Sunday game was at the usual 7:00pm.

And that's the advantage of being #1 in the RS, getting the lowest survivor of the first round ... and not having to play the #2 on Friday in the ECAC semis ... and getting the early game (either enforced or you get to pick it) on Friday. Those little things add up to be a decent advantage.

08 vs 09: 17-16 +01 Union over Clarkson
My money's on Princeton, Clarkson or Union advancing to Lynah.
From judging the success of the 7 vs. 10 the past couple years, you gotta give princeton a chance.

A couple of interesting non-dynasty spans...
In the first 6 years of the ECAC, 6 different teams won the title.
In the 8 years from 1977 through 1984, 8 different teams won the title.
