Next Year's OOC Games & Other Stuff

[quote Liz '05]Should there be a Sat 12/2 game against Union?[/quote]No there shouldn't! Union should be drummed out of the ECAC and replaced with a school that actually cares about winning more than 40% of it's games!

Philosophical questions aside, Liz is right (see for instance two posts above in flat view).

This is worse than originally reported in the Journal. RM & RIT for Niagara? Makes a weak OOC schedule even weaker. This is probably a better year to have a weak schedule, however, given that the team will be breaking in a new goalie, trying to find some blueline depth, and needs to get a couple of the new forwards contributing quickly.

Looking forward to the 4/7 game!

It's looking like an ECAC tourny win would be the only way into the NCAAs this year.

Everybody always says this early in the season, and it usually turns out to be untrue.

The key, as usual, will be Estero. Two wins against Hockey Least would go a long way considering the rest of the schedule weakness.

And more generally, how our conference does in out of conference games.

True, but my prediction is the only way we'd play WMU is to lose to UHN.
