ECAC Tournament: Winning from the 3 seed

When was the last time a 3 seed won the ECAC tournament? I couldn't find the answer on USCHO or the ECAC website.

Ah yes, I was trying to forget about that. I didn't recall that Harvard was the 3 seed that year.

Cornell was the 3 seed in 96 when they won

Nope, in 96 the Big Red was a 4. Cornell did turn the trick as a 3 seed in 1986 (when Coach Schafer was a team captain).

My bad, they were the 3rd seed in Lake Placid after 3rd place SLU was knocked out by Harvard in the Quarters.

Hey Greg, I know maybe you haven't really cared yet, but your listings for this year are all messed up.

Its:
5 SLU hosts 12 Brown
6 Union hosts 11 Yale
7 RPI hosts 10 Quinnipiac
8 Clarkson hosts 9 Princeton

Stupid SLUTs. Could see that rematch next week if they can get by those pesky Bears

This year the 1-2-3 seeds are essentially the same in ability. 4 is not much behind. Any other conclusion is just our having superstitious fun with the randomness of numbers, like wondering when was the last time a team with gold jerseys won the NCAAs in overtime.

The only difference is that the 2- and 3-seeds play tougher teams en route to the title game. But if you can't get past a 5- to 12-seed team in a best-of-three, you don't belong in Albany.

3-seed is the best team if it regains its health and maybe even if not.
