Other Scores, Saturday 3/6

[Trotsky]

Wow.  Clarkson wins.

Harvard (to advance), RPI and Dartmouth all heading for wins tonight.  North Country is all tied up.  We could have 3 Sunday games.

We might get in the quarters next week the one team that doesn't wear itself out playing three games this weekend. The prospect of being able to beat Harvard four teams in a season is delicioius.

The prospect may delicious, but trying may not be. Of the "upsets" they are the one team I'd rather not see.

There is that. Right now because of their splits of the first two games, there are three teams seeded lower than Harvard with a chance to advance to the quarters and we get the team ranked second-lowest. Is it possible that either all three lose today (Yale gets Harvard) or at least two win (the 3 seed or 4 seed gets Harvard)?

It sounds like a fun night Saturday night at Q. Two of their defensemen are injured, including their best one, and they had to move a forward back to the blue line. And their goalie cleared the puck onto a Dartmouth player's stick to set up Dartmouth's first goal.

Right now I'd rather play Q'pac than Hvd. I'd take D'mth or Brn as well. So do I root for 2 more upsets or none?

At about 8:30 of the second we thought RPI scored.  Did the announcers comment?

I was there sitting at center ice 5-6 rows up and was simultaneously listening to the WRPI broadcast.  From my seat, it hit a post, and the broadcasters called it as a post with no complaint about it otherwise.  My friends high up at the goal line end of section 7 had the best look and said it was a post.  It came out awfully hard and fast to have hit the center supporting strut.

I had such good seats because the RPI fans stayed away.  Attendance Friday was 1600+ and it didn't seem like much more than that last night.

Harvard now up 3-zip.

Princeton's been a huge disappointment.  I know they've had injuries, but jeez. Kalemba was exposed this year.

Harvard, OTOH, has gotten some life.  Would be interesting if we were matched-up with them next weekend..

The two Harvard-Princeton games had an interesting pattern.  Harvard scored all of its 7 goals in the third period, once coming from 2-0 down.  In one game SOG were even, in the other Princeton dominated.  So it's fair to say Harvard has some life.  But that pattern either suggests a hot/cold effort on their part, or grinding down the opponent and better conditioning won.  Should be fun at Lynah this weekend.
