'05-'06 Hockey Schedule

[Trotsky]

Hopefully, the ECAC will continue to improve and that will offset the decrease in NC quality.

Those two Michigan State games may be the key to the entire season, PWRwise, and that's a scary thought.  I can't find their 05-06 schedule, but prior to the final weekend of October last season, Sparty had already played 2 exhibitions and four games.  8/23 (35%) of the Cornell roster will be Freshmen.  ::help::

Did I say heart burn? I meant aggravated assault. My bad.

That is of course if MSU is still a TUC.  Their RPI was only .5366 and a large reason  they were 18th in PWR is because they played us twice.
I'll get packing for Green Bay now, eh?

Well, Dinosaur is more of a Syracuse thing. If you're hardcore, you'll make your way to Nick Tahoe's on West Main for a garbage plate.

Doesn't matter where Dinosaur was born...it's still great bbq in a funky location, that's also across the street from a parking garage & 2 blocks from the Arena. Of course, if you're looking for a near-death experience NT's isn't a bad choice.

That should be a fun trip and there's a chance BCA sells out -- not quite as big a deal as playing RIT would be (for the locals), but it'll be interesting to see if Rochester hockey fans turn out.

I left town before the place went downhill and I'm sure some of the food quality is colored by fond memories from high school.

OK, sorry to annoy anyone under 30 with auld lang syne.

Alas Bill ... Another great Rochester institution opened up shop just down Monroe Ave to fill the void, Don's Original (my favorite anyway). Having been competitors since just about the beginning they finally became neighbors on Monroe.  With both open nearly side by side, I would not be surprised if Don's presence assisted the demise of Don and Bob's. Anyway … it is a bank, Canandaigua National IIRC in case you were wondering :-)

In case anyone's wondering what a garbageplate is...

KP's suggestion should be digested carefully.

USCHO has something similar for the schedule.

I looked at RIT's schedule.  They play the US under-18's 4 times!  Also they play a couple of games against D-III schools.  Do the D-III games count in things like the pairwise?  I'm pretty sure the US under-18's don't since they're considered exhibition games.  

[KeithK]

Nope, DIII and exhibitions (Under 18) don't count toward a team's RPI or PWR.

They do have the necessary 20+ DI games to be tourney eligible.  Can't remember if there's a waiting period when moving up before a team becomes eligible (not that it's likely to matter, but still).

I remember reading that they will not be elligible next year, but the following year they will be. Not sure of the source though.

interesting that niagara gave up their home game to play in rochester. makes it farther for me to get there for a game since niagara is 20 minutes away
i wonder if it will be at niagara the next year with the second game in rochester
