Quarterfinal Choices

[Jim Hyla]

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.

err, today:-}

[Jim Hyla]

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

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

And I forgot, no ECAC video. I suppose since America One does the video.::bang:: They should negotiate that they get highlights.

It's 9 bucks for all 3 games in America One, good broadcast too. Few if any cutoffs. Good deal IMHO.

If you did this in your head, and then got the typing to align, there ought to be a movie about you.

Some brief highlights from the Clarkson-RPI game were captured by Cap Carey of the Watertown Daily Times.

What I was complaining about was no highlights, not complaining about the broadcast. I didn't watch any this year, but their broadcasts have always been good.

As an aside, do you mean that you can get all three games tonight for $9, or a two team series of (maybe) three games is $9? If I can get all three tonight for $9 I might do it.

No. 12 Brown at No. 5 Quinnipiac

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.

Lines 4 and 6 should both be Cor-Drt, Hvd-Clk.
The only way we play Clarkson is if seeds 5, 6 and 7 all win.  If exactly one of them loses, then Dartmouth would be the opponent.
So it's 12.5% Clarkson, 37.5 % Dartmouth, 25% RPI and 25% Princeton, if each game is 50/50.

Edited to fix my post as I originally typed RPI in Clarkson's spot - thanks daredevilcu for paying attention.

You can get all 3 games tonight for $9.  And from watching last night it is very easy to flip between then and even watch 2 with one PIP.  I was impressed by the set up.

On the other hand the RPI announcers admitted that the goal that put them ahead in the second was likely a bounce off a Clarkson skate.

Senior winger Patrick Cullen scored a pair of goals for the Engineers, who led by one goal three times, only to see Clarkson come back to tie the contest.

He banged a rebound off a Clarkson defender in the second period, and banged one off Karpowich and behind him from near the goal line for a 3-2 lead with 9:00 remaining in regulation time.

no, it's 12.5% Clarkson, I just screwed up and typed RPI after 12.5% when I meant Clarkson

Maybe we'll get lucky and both Brown and Princeton will win tonight so we can face Princeton. I know it's unlikely but that's what I'm rooting for so that we don't have to face RPI again. I'd also like RPI to knock off Clarkson. I don't want to see Clarkson in a later round; they gave us trouble both times we faced them.

I kind of want to see Dartmouth, besides, I'm still hoping Yale may be able to move to TUC status.

I'd rather face Clarkson than RPI at this point. At least we didn't lost to the Knights this year.

If Yale wins tonight they might move up to TUC (barely), but I don't think they stay there unless they win the next round.  Not impossible, but they're not that good a team.
