So I presume we'll all be found on #lynah tonight following the Union-Clarkson and Dartmouth-Yale rubber games.

I take it Dartmouth's video stream is free?
Yes, Dartmouth video is free.
Don't get too happy. Unless you have a monster connection the video sucks. I'm under the impression that it streams around 3 to 4 MEGAbits per second. Maxing out my 1.5 Mbps DSL connection game me less than a frame per second.

I agree that the video sucks. But for me it worked as a nice supplement to the audio that I was getting at the same time when I watched them play Harvard, while simultaneously listening to us come from behind to beat Saint Lawrence. I am not as familiar with the names of the 40 players that play for Dartmouth and whoever they are playing. I expect others here may be in a similar boat. So, even at one frame per second, or less, having that visual image helped me have more of a clue than I would have if I had to only listen to the audio.
Andy W.
Hmm, audio it is, then.

For the Harvard @ Dartmouth game last weekend, it was poor...typically about 2-3 frames/sec. This weekend, the video has been superb, probably on the order of 10-20 fps. Of course, with our Ivy hopes on the line, many more people were probably watching the H-D game than the Y-D games of this weekend, and therefore choking the bandwidth.
So yes...you should all give up on the video tonight and use audio. :-D
OTOH, there might be differences amng us in rooting interest tonight. Hard to believe it would be bad for Cornell for Yale to win, but in the other series, there are pro-Cornell arguments for either antagonist.
My rooting interest: Yale and Clarkson
My prediction: Dartmouth 6-1, Clarkson 2-1 (ot)
I think we're better off facing Union than Clarkson. While it would be great to complete our revenge for last year, I worry than Clarkson might goon it up, and we'll lose a player either to injury or DQ. Also, I think they have a better chance of pulling off an upset than Union, who would be playing in the QFs for the first time if I'm not mistaken.
I agree with your predictions.

now that you said something ... he'll likely not but then again, now that i just said that ... you never know.
6:45pm, any takers? ::rolleyes::
Does the Dartmouth video have sound, or am I going to have to have the two feeds going at once?
I'm less worried by Clarkson this year because the syphilis-carrying baby- eater can't come to Lynah regardless of tonight's outcome. That said, GO UNION.
Anyone else want to drive all- out with me from I-town to Schenectady right now and chant 'end of season' at Clarkson should they loose?
The Dartmouth video feed also has the Dartmouth audio feed included.
[Q]Will Wrote:

Yup, it had sound.
And my problem wasn't the other server being overloaded. My connection routinely benchmarks at pretty much exactly 1.5 mbps, and the Quicktime stream said the data was actively streaming at 1400 to 1500 kbps. So it was my connection that was the limit - even though its over 4 times fast enough to handle XMI, MTB.TV, etc . I may try again today, but I don't expect any difference.
Okay, they fixed something - its 300 kbps and 100% quality... excellent
Yup, I also have about 300k and looking decent.
They just showed a shot of the stands. I can't believe how empty they are! Dartmouth should be embarassed.
Andy W.
It was that empty on Friday too.
Will anyone be posting scores? Please? :-/
To be fair, I believe its their Spring break. But yeah, that's still pretty bad.
And yes, we'll definitely post scores when there are any to report. Both games scoreless at the moment. Dartmouth had a great up-close 2 on 1 attempt but missed a pretty open net. Hard to see the details since you definitely can't see the puck on this feed.
Thanks...I'll be waiting. :-)
1-0 Clarkson, late first
Dartmouth/Yale scoreless after 1
Union with a pp goal late in the 1st, now 1-1.

Yale scores early in the second period. 1-0 Yale.
how did it happen? video isnt working for me...

Sorry, but I'm barely paying attention. I'm doing about 5 things at once, including cooking dinner, and trying to listen to both games simultaneously. I can't even tell you who scored the goal.
So someone else will have to take that one.
Andy W.
Jordan Webb? scored for Union. Union now up 2-1.
Is it safe to say that another loss to Yale would blow Dartmouth's NCAA chances? Or could they still back in with favorable results elsewhere?
Edit: Or should I know better than to make generalizations about how PWR will work out by now?
You should know better - I don't know where it would leave them, try JTW's script. But I would bet they'd be in deep trouble if not gone.
Dartmouth going on the PP with about 11:30 left in the second.
Dartmouth ties 1-1, Nick Johnson on the PP
Dartmouth (Nick Johnson) scores on the powerplay. 1-1
Dartmouth just scored on power play. 1-1.
Take it, KP. I'm going to eat dinner.
clarkson tied it 2-2, yale on the power play? go yale!
Yale PP over - 6:51 left in the 2nd, still tied at 1
... and another one from clarkson - 3-2 golden knights
Knights 3-2.
Clarkson scores. 3-2 Clarkson.
Big Puke Green power play, late 2nd per.
Dartmouth PP score. 2-1 Dartmouth.
3-1 Dartmouth
3-1 Dartmouth!
i am curious if losing 2nite could mean that dc could still get into the ncaas. i guess we will see :)
i wouldn't mind playing yale at all. then again, DC losing make it much more probable that #4 vermont will make the ECAC semis in albany, having to play much easier competition. if we win, as #1 we would play the lowest remaining seed in albany. and if we assume that harvard or colgate take care of business also, we're stuck playing vermont. on the other hand, if DC wins, they may also beat vermont, and we'd be playing DC instead (an inconsistent team which just had problems with yale).
so more is riding on this game than just our next weekend opponent. i'm not sure whether i'd rather see us play dartmouth or vermont down the road.

jy3 I will keep it simple, dartmouth will be better losing this series then the next series. If they lose the series to Vermont, they are basically done in for a NCAA bid. If they lose this game which does not look like they will they could still be in the NCAAs since they have a good record vs. TUCs.
A-19 worry about one game at a time, remember last year. Our team is not guaranteed to make it to Albany. If we end up getting Clarkson, it could be some sweet revenge for last year though.
Dartmouth sinks another... 4-1, 18:06 left

yeah, don't remind me. last cu hockey game as an undergrad had to end like that.

Careful what you ask for......
8:20 to go at Achilles, 3-2 Clarkson.
Union ties but they may call it back.
It's a Goal. 3-3
I mean 3-3!
It's a goal. 3-3. 3:33 to go in period 3.
of game 3 :-D
Lets hope for many OTs
Clarkson audio is maxed out. D'oh!
OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT!!!!!
Dartmouth won 5-1. CU will get either Clarkson or Union at this point.
How about 3 OTs? Or is that 33?? :-D
It's not even finals, which are late this year and take place next weekend. To be fair, the student section is on the near (camera side), and from what I've heard they actually showed up all weekend (albeit 30 minutes after each game started).
It was the townies who never showed up this weekend.
If it goes to OT tonight do they play 20 minutes OTs?
Andy W.
Edit: 20 minute max OTs, as opposed to 5---obviously they're sudden death.
am I the only one routing for union? I hate clarkson, and I want to see them lose.
yeah i'm for clarkson on this one. we seemed to have a bit of a better time playing them this season than union.
is the dartmouth game final?

There are 20 minute OT's until someone scores.

I'm leaning for Union as well. According to Gametracker, DC-Yale is a final, 5-1.
Overtime coming up. 20 min sudden death.
personally. I think union is a worse team than clarkson. I was at the Cornell game in Union, and cornell out played them. plain and simple out played them. the score might not show it, but they did. and there is no doubt that cornell outplayed union at lynah.
I saw both the first games of the Clarkson-Union series and I can safely say that Clarkson is the better team. They don't work nearly as hard as Union and are far more undisciplined but have a lot more talent. But really I don't care about any of that. I just want revenge on Clarkson.
me, i just want to win. i dont care who we play. i dont care if harvard doesnt make it through the next round for us to "exact revenge" either. i just want to keep winning.
I'm pulling for Union mostly because I see Clarkson as the dirtier team and want to minimize the risk of injuries for post-Albany hockey.
Brian
I don't care who wins. I just hope this game goes on all night!
Ok here's a question for you stat-fanatics. Has there ever been a 3 game series where all the games had to be decided in overtime? Don't count the minigames.
through one OT, no scoring :-)
[Q]grego Wrote:

Nope, not yet according to the people on USCHO - Union to the PP
Anybody listening somewhere other than the streamingmedia.clarkston site? I'm getting the "server is full" error - would love to be listening.
I'll second Cisco's desire to listen to the game.
We're playing Clarkson; 4-3 in overtime.
we're playing clarkson again.
YES. TIME FOR REVENGE. TIME FOR REDEMPTION!
Clarkson wins late in the 1st overtime.
Here we come.................................:-D
Golden showers... clap... clap.... clap, clap, clap...
1cu-9ckson
2hvd-7slu
3gate-6brown
4vermont-5dc
as expected, only 1 "upset" and hardly an upset: 8v9 is the biggest tossup game, and it took a best-of-3 series with 3 OTs to solve
who scored in ot for clarkson?

Cheers!
Formalities, Wish you all the best.

PS
Stuff it up your ass, lil red.
at least one more week of "clarkson sucks ... no cornell sucks ... no your mom ... nooooo your mom ..." grrreeeat, just what i wanted to read all week ::starwars::

No worries, Ben. We're comin'.
Shawn Weller with the GWG, his first goal since his debut game with the Knights.
I was on Weller a bunch last week for him being overrated but I thought he had a very good first two games (I wasn't there tonight but I'm guessing he did well considering he scored the GWG). VERY EXCITED ABOUT CLARKSON COMING!
Hopefully Weller will play really WELL and score a few more at Lynah for you.
Wish I could make the trip up but it's highly unlikely.
Another chapter in this rivalry will be written. Let's hope it's exciting and entertaining hockey....and of course I hope the underdog can pull off another upset..
