Anyone else bummed out by the fact that Cornell beat Michigan, Colorado College, and Union (and split with Brown)? Rough day/year to be a fan. Must be a lot worse to be a player.

I'm 0-fer on my routing interests. I pulling for CC over Wisc solely on the fact that CC traveled to Lynah. Also, for those of you over 40, it is fun hearing the name "Krushelnyski" This is former Edmontom Oiler (among other NHL teams) Mike's son Alex.

If it stays as is, Yale is in if Mich loses. Go Blue.

You want Yale out?

Yes

Why? Maybe I'm a bad Cornell fan, but I have a hard time hating other teams for being better than mine. Yale has been consistently better than Cornell for the last 4 years. The answer to that isn't wishing ill will upon them.

Congrats to Union for their back-to-back ECAC championships. Sigh: I remember those (though I was still a student at the time).

I think Jim is also a Michigan Alum.

That's why I asked if he wanted Yale out, not if he wanted Michigan to win.

So, don't make all those assumptions about me. Rita is right, I also went to UM. You asked if I wanted Yale out. I said yes. That's the only way UM gets in. You didn't ask if I wanted UM in.

In regards to U. There has been conversation since they won last year, as to how they've talked about being the dominant team in the ECAC. That was after they won 1 championship. I'm not being bitter, and it has nothing to do with how Cornell or Yale did. It has to do with their fans.

Just don't make assumptions about my feelings. I'm happy to tell them to you, if you ask.

For all that are interested, some of the LP hotels are taking reservations for next year's ECAC weekend. I just made one at the Golden Arrow. It's right across from the rink, with parking. You know how valuable that can be. However, they still have their 7 day cancelation policy. I'm going to email Mr. Hagwell. Last fall he said he was looking into it.

Wisc wins, one more game to go.

Yes, it has occurred to a lot of people that Cornell could have been in the NCAAs and made the proverbial deep run, which I think means winning both games the first weekend.

Is it actually true of our jerkwater conference that there is *no* audio stream of the final by the league or either school?

The ECAC site lists U radio. As an aside CCHA had no video stream. What do you call that?

I call that video, which is harder.

I should have been clearer. I meant that you called the ECAC a "jerkwater conference" and having no audio (as an aside it did have audio). So what do you call a conference that has no internet video?

I think the DeerTicks are going to be screwed in the seedings. They are the overall number one and I have BC. and Union possible in their bracket for travel/ ticket sales.

If it weren't for UHN hosting, B.C. would be in Manchester for travel reasons. I'm not expecting B.C. to go to Toledo.

QPuke being an overall number one shouldn't be seeded against number five (or six depending on CCHA) B.C. -  oh well.

It really depends upon whether the committee factors in attendance.

Here's Adam's non-attendance look.

A contrary view by CHN pro-attendance view by Mike Machnik.

And USCHO's Jason Moy's pro-attendance view.

It's tough. I also look at attendance not as a monetary issue, but from a fans perspective, can I go and watch.

While I am happy to stand corrected on this, I don't think my interpretation of your statement was unreasonable, just wrong as it turned out.

I do still stand by my overall opinion on this matter of other cellar-dwellers now doing well: too many ELynah regulars are living in the past, acting like Cornell owns the ECAC. That attitude is arrogance, pure and simple, and needs to stop.

I should have been clearer.  Union and Brown are jerkwater for not having an audio feed for their ECAC final appearance.  (As an aside, no, they did not have an audio feed.  Union was listed on the ECAC site as having an audio feed, which terminated in a page saying that they would not have a feed, and the link was removed from the ECAC site during the game.)

The ECAC, OTOH, farts butterflies and rainbows.

Michigan leading 1-0 after 1.  Of course.

God I hate Michigan.

God I hate Michigan.

Why, because they're too good? Sort of how the rest of the ECAC used to feel about us?

No.  Notre Dame football fan.  But nice jump to conclusions there Tonto.

I didn't jump to conclusions, I asked. You still didn't answer.::bolt::
