Kary in for Gallagher. Patrick Kennedy appears to be OK.

Aaaand, RPI's radio website appears to be down. Bah.

Jason just said that Yale will play the late game Friday and if Cornell advances, we would be in the early game. In recent years, the #1 seed has played the early game. Can anyone confirm or refute what Jason said?

If I remember, correctly, the #1 seed chooses which game to play. So if Yale has chosen the late game, they're playing the late game.

I always just go for audio of our games, and RPI's website is down. What are my other options, and how much do they cost?

Can anyone confirm or refute what Jason said?[/quote]IIRC, the top advancing seed is given the choice. I can't think of why you would choose to play the late game.

Maybe they figure that with Cornell having had to play Sunday, they make it even just one more tiny smidge harder for us by giving us three fewer hours of rest before our semi. It's not like they're not used to playing back-to-back evening games anyway.

Crap. This means I have to wake up earlier on Friday to make it to Albany in time from Baltimore.

If you listened to either of the first 2 games and have the downloaded file for the stream, you can open that up and get the stream.

I can try sending the file to you if you email me.

Per the ECAC's tournament website, #1 will face #4 in the early game.

Cornell, if there, will get the late game.

US Airways has cheap flights to Albany out of BWI, via Philly.

The ECAC HL website as well as recent histroy, refutes what Jason said.

Quote from: On Friday, March 20, the No. 4-seeded team will face the No. 1 seed in the first semifinals contest, followed by the No. 3 seed versus the No. 2 seed in the second semifinals game.

In the past, the #1 team had a choice of when to play and typically chooses the early game so they have time to rest.

Both suggest that Yale will play the early game and if Cornell advances, they would be the #2 seed and play the late game.
