There is justice...

Biggest ECAC upset of the year? Its got my vote...

In other Saturday games, SLU blows out Dartmouth with 6 unanswered goals on Nicky "Everybody's Favorite" Boucher, and Brown beats Yale.

Al DeFlorio · January 11, 2003, 09:26:47 PM

And Clarkson beats UVM 1-0.

And thus the "four-point season" chants come to an end.

Well, so far... given where we stand, let's hope there are no bigger ones. *fingers crossed*

Halle-freaking-lujah!

Several interesting things from tonight's league play:

1) Clarkson started Freshman Dustin Traylen in both games this weekend over the Senior statistical standout Mike Walsh...and Tech got their first weekend sweep of the season.

2) With the "why they play the games" award for tonight, Princeton seems to have a Dartmouth-like jinx over Harvard going 3-0-1 in their last 4 trips to Bright. PU goalie Trevor Clay made 45 saves, including 22 in the first period alone. This gives Harvard 3 league losses, all to Ivies (Brown, Cornell, Princeton). Cornell now has six games in hand to the Crimson, and is 8 points behind HU. IIRC, this is the month that Harvard went into a swan-dive last season, following their exams.

3) Our favorite ::uhoh:: opposing goaltender, Nick Boucher, once again frustrates the hell out of me by giving up 12 goals this weekend, getting pulled in each game. How this man can play like a god against us, and perform like this vs. a team like the Larries just drives me batty. Giving up a 7-spot to a team scoring 1.63 GPG is just amazing. It's true...Dartmouth is the poster-child of home-away dichotomy. 8-0 at Thompson, 1-6 on the road.

4) This stat is so amazing, it deserves it's own point. Dartmouth gave up more ECAC goals this weekend than Cornell has allowed this season. That includes the 5 we allowed to Dartmouth.

5) Brown confuses me so much. Yale had Higgins back, too and loses. If Yale ever got a defense or goaltender, I'd be scared.

Princeton actually just got points 3 and 4 against Harvard, because one win over RPI was a NC game.

I have seen Princeton twice this year, incl their loss at home to RPI...and they looked dreadful. How did they win this one?

Every now and then someone up on high sees things going really wrong in his/her domain and intervenes to set things right again.
:-P

That must have been quite an impressive game Rich.....they beat RPI.:-P

RichS · January 12, 2003, 10:20:08 PM

Yep...it was Marty...just shows you how astonished I was that RPI lost to them...twice now! ::rolleyes:: Imagine how my RPI buddies I sat with felt that night.

Al, I'm not at all sure that God gives a hoot about college hockey but....we all know anything can happen...after all, this IS the ECAC! :-D
