General Women's Thread

[Swampy]

What was the attendance tonight at lynah?

Phil Kessel's sister, Amanda is the best player in the woman's game.

Yeah, and she's only a junior. Brother Blake played for UNH and is in the AHL.

[jtn27]

Official attendance was 2182.  More importantly, there were a lot of raucous students in the crowd, as well as the band.  At the end of the game, several players took a run and jumped against the glass at Section D where the wrestling team and friends had been leading the cheers throughout the game.

They came over to where we were causing trouble in B as well. We had a lot of pike, walleye, and catfish pictures...hopefully preserved somewhere for posterity.

We also had a big one of these.

The women's game vs Dartmouth is on Redcast beginning (pregame) at 3:30 this afternoon for others who are trapped inside with this ooky weather.

Current standings and stats.

[Trotsky]

Halfway through Senior night, still scoreless vs the Big Green.

Edit: Halfway through the third, still 0-0.

[Al DeFlorio]

Women are as accomplished at shooting at the goalie's chest as the men.

[Trotsky]

3:25 to go in regulation, we go on pp.  This just moments after we lucked out when Dartmouth made a perfect pass right in front but the Green simply muffed the finish.

Edit: Dartmouth shut us down on the kill.

The Lynah crowd sounds great.

After a Cornell goal in ot is waved off, we settle for a scoreless tie.  Very exciting game.

[Jim Hyla]

0-0 Would be nice to see the no-goal.

[Bahnstorm]

Only goal was the dude who hit the between period $10,000 slapshot jackpot. Anyone get video of that or have a capture of the game stream? That was a ridiculous shot. Through a puck size hole from the far blue line on one attempt.

[dag14]

I saw the board up close.  The hole was literally 1 inch larger than the diameter of a puck.

[Bahnstorm]

Here is video of the $10,000 winning goal potted by Rich Trinkl; this goes on the list of crazy things I've seen at Lynah:

Hope the radio station had insurance on the contest.

I worked this all out, so I may as well share. These are the possible RS results and playoff seedings...

Current Table

Schools ------- Pts    Conf    All
Cornell -------- 35    17-3-1    22-5-1
Harvard ------- 34    16-2-2    20-4-3
Clarkson ------ 34    17-4    25-8
St. Lawrence - 28    12-5-4    17-11-5
Quinnipiac ----- 27    12-6-3    18-10-4
Dartmouth ----- 24    10-7-4    15-8-5
Rensselaer ----- 18    8-11-2    10-19-4
Princeton ------- 14    6-13-2    11-15-2
Colgate --------- 13    5-13-3    10-19-3
Brown ---------- 10    5-16    6-19-1
Yale ------------ 9    3-14-3    4-20-3
Union ----------- 4    0-17-4    7-22-4

Us, Harvard, and Clarkson will be the top three. We play at Union, and Harvard hosts Clarkson. I will assume that Harvard will beat Yale on Tuesday for the purposes of these permutations, as it is extremely likely.

If we beat Union, and Harvard beats Clarkson, Harvard will win the RS title and home ice. Clarkson will finish third.

If we beat Union, and Harvard and Clarkson tie, we are guaranteed to finish first (the first tiebreaker, head-to-head, is tied; we would win the second tiebreaker, wins, with 18 to Harvard's 17). Clarkson will finish third in this scenario.

If we beat Union, and Clarkson beats Harvard, we will finish first on 37 points, and Clarkson will finish second, beating out Harvard on the tiebreaker (head-to-head).

If fail to win against Union, then Harvard or Clarkson will take the RS title.

SLU and Q will be 4 & 5. If Q beats Brown and SLU ties with Dartmouth, or Q ties with Brown and SLU loses to Dartmouth, Q finishes 4th on head-to-head.

Dartmouth is locked into 6 and RPI into 7.

Colgate can finish 8th if they win at RPI and Princeton fails to win at Yale (Colgate wins the head-to-head tiebreaker).

In short, we need to beat Union and root for Clarkson.

[Jim Hyla]

Cornell & Clarkson both up 2-0 after 1 per.

[dag14]

Women beat Union 4-0.  Clarkson beats Harvard 3-1.

[Ben]

Women beat Union 4-0.  Clarkson beats Harvard 3-1.

Put another way: four straight RS titles. Yale beat Princeton and Colgate won, so we will face Colgate at Lynah next weekend.
