ECAC Final: Cornell 0 Yale 5 (final)

Sounds like it. It'd be nice to get a title, however, be it Ivy or ECAC. We have been on a drought as of late.

SLUts did much better than us against Yale. And boy would everything have been different had they beaten Yale yesterday.

I think the team should be very proud of their efforts in Albany.  They played with a lot of courage and the younger guys now have experience in a conference championship game.  It looks like they will be sent to either Minnesota or Michigan for the tournament as a #3 seed.  The good thing about that is they won't have to face BU in the regionals.  On a good night, they might just beat a team like Denver or Michigan.  Let's hope for the best.  Congratulations Big Red!

Cornell will be a 3(11) and Yale will be a 2(5). Cornell probably does one better than it would have because Yale can't play Princeton (12).
It'll presumably be @5(YU) vs. 9 (vermont), 6 (NU) vs. 12(PU), 7(UMD) vs. 11(CU) and 8(NoDak) @ 10 (UNH).

NoDak gets a lower seed but has to go to their regional. PU and CU get slightly better draws and YU gets boxed out into the worst spot. PU/NU could be a fabulous game.

It'll also likely be:
BU(1) @ NE
ND(2) @ MW
UM(3) @ W
DU(4) @ E

That means CU/UMD in the west. PU/NU in the midwest.

I don't think you can blame Scrivens for the loss.  He played well; the Yale offense just jumped on every slight opportunity that they had.  He stopped a clean breakaway early in the game.

Gotta agree with Tom.  While he was not the reason for the loss, Scrivens did not play especially well.  He looked fatigued and had difficulty securing the puck.  That being said, the biggest difference between these teams is that Yale has more finishing ability and their offensive zone passing is better.

Will someone please put this on Coach's desk next to his recruiting folder?  plz?        

I'm gonna keep bashing away at this one     ::smashfreak::

I was talking to Jacob Drewiske's (St. Lawrence #13) father before the games Saturday.  He lives in Wisconsin and follows the WCHA very closely.  He thought that any of the 4 teams this weekend would beat Minnesota or Wisconsin this year.  Obviously Yale has our number this year, but maybe that is because they are a very good team.

Incidentally, Mr. Drewiske's other son played for Wisconsin and was rooming with Moulson in Manchester until the son recently got called up by the Kings.  Mr. Drewiske said the best game he has ever seen was the 3OT game against Wisconsin.
