Boy is that a rule that's ignored.  It seems like every coach tries it on every other icing.

The rule quoted doesn't actually say anything about having the wrong personnel on the ice after icing. I guess you could argue that the team was "attempting to make additional personnel changes" but I think that's a stretch, since in the situation you're talking about the changes were already made, and what's really going on is that the team is attempting not to change them back.

Sad results this weekend, especially last night.  The good news is that Clarkson also lost two games this weekend when they probably expected to win two.

I don't think we control our fate anymore as far as getting a bye: If we and Clarkson win the rest of our games, they win the tiebreaker, since they would have 3 wins against the top 4, while we would have 2 wins and a tie.  However, their schedule is definitely harder in the last two weeks (1 game against U and Q)

As of a few years ago the second tiebreaker in the ECAC (after head-to-head) is total wins, so record vs the top four doesn't even enter into our tiebreaker with Clarkson unless we go 2-2-0 and they go 0-0-4 in the last four games.

Thanks for the correction.  Completely missed that line on the ECAC website.
