Yale looking good tonight against Princeton, unless something unexpected happens, I think Bulldogs will win this one.

Quinnipiac is also playing well against Brown, I think Bobcats will take the win tonight.

RPI and Clarkson? Who knows.

RPI and Clarkson? Who knows.

It's a total crapshoot, just like the first two games.  Very exciting and even series that's a pleasure to listen to if you don't give a hoot who wins.

One-timer by Tremblay from the point. Clarkson 1-0 halfway through the second.

I'd be nice if RPI, Yale, and Quinnipiac all win. That would set us up against Dartmouth, which is a match-up I like. Also, it would eliminate Clarkson, a team that has given us trouble this year, and pit Union and RPI against each other, ensuring that 1 of the 2 other teams we had had the most trouble with will not make it to Atlantic City.

How does that ensure that Colgate doesn't make it to AC?

[Trotsky]

Yale and Q both now up by 3.

[TimV]

RPI could win a series from Union (or from us) and they're spoiling to do so.  RPI has fallen off the hockey map in the Capoital District- if it wasn't for the pathetic Troy Record they'd be invisible in the local papers since Union's ascendance.  They resent that bigtime. I'd tend to think we would do OK against RPI- there's only been one season in the last 12 that we haven't beat them at least once.

[TimV]

After 2 periods:

Q 3 B 0
RPI 1 CLK 1
Prin 2 Yale 5

[dbilmes]

RPI and Clarkson are 1-1 after 2 periods. Maybe they're going to play triple OT again tonight!

[ajh258]

RPI scores on a 5-minute major. ~15 minutes left in the 3rd.

[ajh258]

And RPI scores again! 3-1 Engineers. Looks like we'll get our wish to play Dartmouth.

Meanwhile Brown sneaks in 2 quickies and only trails 3-2.

And RPI scores again! 3-1 Engineers. Looks like we'll get our wish to play Dartmouth.

Be careful what you wish for, etc., etc....
