ECAC Playoffs 2026

The incline was designed for a great view over the seat in front of you.  The height difference seemed to be between 30 and 36 inches - though it might be a bit less.  We were uncomfortable enough to eyeball the height.  Great for sight lines except when trying to see the far side same side faceoff circle. In addition the seats are too damn narrow.  My wife and are not wide but the friends we were with are.  I was cramped and skewed to the side as a result. My old man's spine suffered a bit.

Another companion stood for at least the third period. So at least the place was designed for adequate SRO.

I'm wondering if Jim Hyla and Tim V agree.

So THAT'S  why my wife went to watch the game from the rail.

No way they beat them in their new Rambling Gambling too tight shit line of site arena.

Looked exactly like Bright on streaming.  Where did they go wrong?

Totally agree. We were on the side near one end, second to top row. Trying to look toward far corner/faceoff circle was a disaster. everyone in the row looking that direction would lean forward, so no one could see. I'm used to not having good view of th far corner when I'm at the other end, But having problems seeing faceoff circle is pretty unique.

It was so bad, because I didn't want to try and lean forward and block others, so I decided to be one that went to stand, Standing is okay, but not a lot of it because of VIP rooms.

Dartmouth is 2 seed no? First tie breaker is head to head points

Yes.

1 Qpc
2 Drt
3 Cor
4 Prn

Adam, you know I love you, but not sorting by seed is no bueno.

I don't know - I never have been sure that you do...

I spend thousands of hours a year on the site - but trying to code all the league's tiebreakers into the sort would take years off my life. Maybe Claude can do it now.  We do have a page with all the brackets and seeds though.

I've been discovering just how much stuff Claude can do lately that I wouldn't have even thought it could do.   Feed it the rulebook and there's a strong chance it gets the job done for you.

Wouldn't hate another Harvard series, but I wouldn't be shocked to see brown beat Union. It killed me to miss the harvard series two years ago.

On the one hand, that would be cool.  On the other hand, fuck Union.

I'm fine with 75% NYS and 25% NJ.

Three one-goal games, and one blowout. No upsets this year, although St. Lawrence came closest.
