Clarkson or Dartmouth In Semi-Final Game?

[andyw2100]

Three reasons I was rooting for Clarkson:

• They're my second-favorite ECAC program for a variety of reasons.
• Clarkson or Princeton winning the title would have given the ECAC four NC$$ bids (so a hedge in case Cornell didn't win.
• I still think of Reid Cashman as a Fighting Deertick.

Of course, as it turned out, all three games went the wrong way.

Plus it was kind of sadistically fun to have a long-time league member with zero titles.

Brown stands alone...

I think Dartmouth was extremely lucky this season, and particularly in the ECAC tournament. They didn't have to go through us or Quinnipiac, and their semis and finals games were even in terms of metrics. They won two coin-flips against mediocre teams. I hope they get thrashed in the NCAA tournament, though in today's era of college athletics there's no way I can root for Big 10 schools either...

just you wait until they make a frozen four lmao. that shit WOULD happen.

I mean, four of the five other ECAC programs that have ever won a national title won their first national titles just in the time I've been following Cornell hockey. As disgusting as that feeling has been, and as much as I hope and believe Cornell will win another national title during my lifetime, at this point I kind of expect one of the remaining six ECAC programs to snag a national title first.

FYI, in 1980 Dartmouth was one of the four teams in the NCAA tournament (which wasn't called the Frozen Four yet).

Aye, but they haven't even made the dance since the 80s. So of course they'll make a FF in their debutante appearance this century. That's how things work.
