But they aren't sucking as much lately. I'm gonna be ill if they pull off another run like 2002.

I have a hunch that only one team can stop them, and that team better get by Clarkson tonight.::help::

Anybody want to take a gander at what the hell happened to Marsters last night? McKee gives up five and Marsters gives up five and gets pulled?

Harvard and Cornell can not meet till the championship game and that's the way it should be. If 'that team beats Clarkson tonight', in the semi's we would play:

The winner of tonight's RPI-Dartmouth game if Colgate beats St. Lawrence. Harvard would play Colgate

OR

St. Lawrence if they beat Colgate. Harvard would play the RPI-Dartmouth winner.

I'd like the latter. St. Lawrence needed two OT's to beat Yale and hasn't shown much offense against Colgate and if Silverthorn can stop them so can McKee.

So many of the game recaps mention the do or die mentality that led to some of the upsets so far this weekend in other conferences like in BU's case. With no ECAC team in the top 14, everybody should bring a do-or-die mentality. It's bad for the ECAC but makes for great games. Nickerson is the exception - he brings a do-AND-die mentality to the games.

It's been a while since I've heard Swanee - that diiiiiiiieeeeeee just keeps getting longer and longer. Let the diiiiieeeeee die. Crisp and short. Loud Lynah and Silent Lynah - great transition. Oh who am I kidding - that's been talked about already and all hope has been lost.

I'm guessing he was pulled once it was hopeless to rest and get his head straight for tonight. Good move by Fridgen.

With the regionals in their backyard and the FF down the road, UHN has a short road to travel this year but here's hoping Cornell and UHN's paths cross again, he says not woofing and knowing our recent history - just it will be in the national spotlight if we do meet again.[/Q]
I can tell you first hand that UNH is a defensive meltdown waiting to happen, if/when they get knocked out it will more than likely be by a large margin, i.e. Maine two years ago.

Does anyone know if the BU-Maine game will be televised?

And as far as the ECAC tourney goes, I'm casting my vote for Colgate.

Wait, you mean there's still college hockey this year? :`(

It would be Howard's turn in the rotation against BU, right?

[/Q]Man, I wish it were a midseason BC playing against him, not a lucky-to-be-here BU. Here's hoping BU lights him up anyway.

NESN will be televising the Hockey East tournament live on Friday. My listings for Boston and Comcast indicate that both ECAC semifinal games will be live on CN8.

I've got to go with BU in the semi's to raise Howard's GAA. He should be starting.

Dartmouth made a big jump in the Pairwise after Sunday's games. I'm pulling for them to beat Colgate in the finals in the outside hopes of getting two ECAC teams in as slim as that might be plus I have to pull for the Ivy over the non-Ivy.

As much as I like the underdog, they don't help getting two ECAC teams in. But seeing as that hope is just about lost, why not route for Alaska-Anchorage. They get the best foresight of the weekend award. Seeing as they were 0-22 all-time in WCHA playoff games before this weekend and knowing that they would not win back-to-back games and sweep Wisconsin on Wisconsin's home ice, they intentionally started their second goalie with lower numbers after winning Game 1, basically handing Game 2 of the series to Wisconsin in order to rest their firt goalie King, for a guaranteed Game 3 which they won.

Plus UAA draws Colorado College and a CC loss to UAA can only help trying to get a second ECAC team in as long as UAA doesn't win the whole thing. Same with BU - beat Maine but don't win Hockey East.
