Quarterfinal Choices

Princeton beats Yale in overtime, despite having skated just 16 players for both nights.

More bonus hockey from Potsdam; Clarkson - RPI will need (at least) a 2nd OT period.

Free audio on WRPI. Thank you Engineers .

So what, I've been with free audio from Clarkson all night. RPI sucks.:-D

I can't imagine this lasting too much longer. Of course we could just get to the point where people are so exhausted the cant put the puck on net anymore.

Clk Wins

Wow, Clarkson wins in 3OT. Can't imagine RPI winning the series after that stomach punch.

I guess you missed the Union-Yale 5 OT game of 2006 ;-).

But, even though this is the longest game in RPI history, the Union-Yale record is safe for another night. Clarkson wins. Game 3 tomorrow.

Sounded like Clarkson won on a flukey play (Merriam failed to cover a post), after RPI was really controlling play.

Yeah, at the very least I can't imagine we'll see a very well played game tomorrow.

I don't think there's a team in the league that can beat us in a 3 game series...

I'm not sure I share that sentiment, after seeing us get swept by Colgate in a home-and-home.  Cornell tends to be awfully good in the QF round, but teams get hot.  See, e.g., 2004 and 2007.

2007 the team had already packed up and headed to the golf course before they dropped the puck, they would have lost to Little Sisters of the Poor.

2004 never happened.

Every time I see this posted, it makes me happy.

Tonight's game was insanity.  It's still possible that the winner of this game could end up @ Cornell, so we will just have to see what happens.  Selfishly, if Clarkson wins, I'd rather they end up at Lynah rather than Bright, since I'll be able to attend.

The 8 permutations:

No. 12 Brown at No. 5 Quinnipiac
No. 11 Princeton at No. 6 Yale
No. 10 RPI at No. 7 Clarkson
No. 9 Dartmouth upsets No. 8 St. Lawrence

1. Brn, Prn, RPI; Uni-Brn, Cor-Prn, Hvd-RPI, Col-Drt
2. Brn, Prn, Clk; Uni-Brn, Cor-Prn, Hvd-Drt, Col-Clk
3. Brn, Yal, RPI; Uni-Brn, Cor-RPI, Hvd-Drt, Col-Yal
4. Brn, Yal, Clk; Uni-Brn, Cor-Clk, Hvd-Drt, Col-Yal
5. Qpc, Prn, RPI; Uni-Pri, Cor-RPI, Hvd-Drt, Col-Qui
6. Qpc, Prn, Clk; Uni-Prn, Cor-Clk, Hvd-Drt, Col-Qui
7. Qpc, Yal, RPI; Uni-RPI, Cor-Drt, Hvd-Yal, Col-Qpc
8. Qpc, Yal, Clk; Uni-Drt, Cor-Clk, Hvd-Yal, Col-Qpc

So if all game 3's were 50/50, our opponents' odds in 8 as 37% Clarkson, 50% Princeton or RPI, and 13% Dartmouth.

It's gonna be close tomorrow. Honestly, I have no idea who's going to win tomorrow.
